1. Case #20

What is the task of apologetics in the 21st century? Are rationally persuasive arguments less or more important today? Are apologists really that good for Christianity anyway? Case magazine’s special October issue is given to the apologetic enterprise. Authors including Michael Jensen, David Höhne, Richard Gibson, Andrew Bain and William Lane Craig reflect on the meaning, the challenges and the hidden dimensions of Christian apologetics past and present.
