Recently Read

Well just finished the 5 minute Apologist by Dr. Rick Cornish. Published by NavPress it is a small book in size but is still 347 pages.


The book is divided into ten sections:
1. Thinking
2. The Bible
3. Worldviews
4. God
5. Jesus
6. The Resurrection
7. Science
8. Miracles
9. Historic Religions
10. New Religions

Each section is broken down into further subsections. In the Jesus section for example, is seven chapters long dealing with the historic Jesus to Jesus personal claims to deity. The entire section is twenty pages long and most of the chapters are 2-4 pages in length and can be read in a matter of minutes. As the title says about five minutes. For a basic overview of apologetics and the issues involved I have to give a big thumbs up to this book.

If you are new to the task of biblical apologetics then this is a great place to start. I look forward to reading the next to in the series: 5 Minute Theologian and 5 Minute Historian.
