  • An Introduction to Christian Apologetics (1948)
    Christianity has never lacked articulate defenders, but many people today have forgotten their own heritage. Rob Bowman’s book offers readers of all backgrounds an easy point of entry to this deep and vibrant literature. I wish every pastor knew at least this much about the faithful thinkers of past generations! Timothy McGrew Professor of Philosophy, Western Michigan University Director, Library of Historical Apologetics This is a fantastic little book, written by the perfect person to write it. Bowman’s new Faith Thinkers offers a helpful “Who’s Who” of the great Christian apologists of history and is an excellent resource for students of apologetics! James K. Dew President, New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary Finally—an accessible introduction to many of history’s most in- fluential defenders of the Christian faith and their legacy. Always interesting (and often surprising), Robert Bowman’s Faith Thinkers will give a new generation of readers a greater appreciation for the remarkable men who laid the groundwork for today’s apologetics renaissance. Highly recommended. Paul Carden Executive Director, The Centers for Apologetics Research (CFAR) Faith Thinkers 30 Christian Apologists You Should Know Robert M.
