- Description
- Montgomery introduces apologetics and its main principles. He describes apologetics as a bridge between eternally revealed truth and contemporary objections, showing that current concerns are unfounded and that the Christian faith can be demonstrated, to a sufficient degree of probability, so that people may commit themselves to Christ. Apologetics deals with the eternal, unchanging Word of God while addressing present circumstances. Objections are often repetitive, merely variations of past challenges, and so earlier apologetic responses remain useful today. Montgomery also outlines the weaknesses of both liberal and fundamentalist approaches to the Bible in addressing objections. He poses two key questions for evaluating past apologetics: first, does the apologist lose sight of the eternal message in the process of defending the faith; and second, does the apologist fail to recognize the contemporary situation and its needs?
