Scaling the Secular City: A Defense of Christianity Book

In this book, Moreland makes all efforts to make Christianity credible with several arguments. His arguments are very well laid an especially in what is concerning to the existence of God and for Jesus' deity and resurrection. Moreland also provides very good answers to objections to Christian theism, and discussions of four key issues: The Cosmological Argument; The Design Argument; The Historicity of the New Testament, The Resurrection of Jesus. I think that Moreland explains very well the theories of the Kalam theory, what made this more interesting to me.

The book has some very good insights and strengths I liked specially Moreland explanation of apologetics. As he puts it: First, Scripture command us to defend the faith and gives us several examples of such activity. Second, apologetics can help remove barriers to faith and thus aid unbelievers in embracing the gospel. Third, apologétics can strengthen believers in at least two ways. For one thing, it gives confidence that faith is true and reasonable and also apologetics can encourage spiritual growth. Fourth, apologetics can help to health in the culture at large. For example, in the formation of bioethics committees.

With all the resources and information available in this book, I felt very encouraged to engage in the use of apologetics as a tool to bring people to Christ through the presentation of a very reasonable message. I was able to understand that apologetics is much more than defence of the gospel, but above also a presentation of its logical message to the world.
