One might question whether apologetics belongs in today’s emerging relational culture. The answer is no, not the old-school kind. Editor Sean McDowell is very clear in the introduction: “It is possible to win an argument but do it in a way that damages the cause of Christ…This is why the ultimate apologetic is not a well-reasoned argument, but a life that exemplifies the love of Christ.” Teach your students this ethic, and confidently recommend this Bible to them as an extremely thorough resource.
This Bible includes features such as FAQ articles, commonly twisted Scripture verses, archeological evidence and personal stories of defenders of the faith among others.
From an excellent cover to a classy interior, this is a well-designed Bible. The Scripture text is treated relatively well, and the notes are set apart from the text to avoid confusion. The visual appeal will be attractive to your students, and it is available in printed hardcover and leather.
Exemplify love, immerse your students in the story of the Bible, and equip them with knowledge from resources such as this (in that order), and you will graduate vibrant heralds of the Good News.
