Summary: The POSTMODERN "Christian" Heart?
Comment: A previous reviewer wrote: "Stackhouse is logical, warm, and true to the Bible without being dogmatic. This is apologetics for the compassionate and postmodern Christian heart."
First, I am not sure that you can be true to the Bible without being dogmatic, since the Bible itself dogmatically claims to be a revelation from God without compromise or room for denial.
Second, saying that this is apologetics for the "postmodern Christian heart" may be saying more than what the reviewer intends -- that is, this is the apologetics preferred by those "Christians" whose hearts have already been shaped by postmodernism instead of Scripture.
Rating: 5
Summary: Thoroughly refreshing
Comment: Written from a humble point of view, this book could be subtitled "For anyone who is annoyed by being told that Christians must present evidence that demands a verdict." Stackhouse is logical, warm, and true to the Bible without being dogmatic. This is apologetics for the compassionate and postmodern Christian heart.

Summary: Humble Apologetics
Comment: I will have to agree with the reviewers who say that this book presents an unbiblical and non-Christian approach to apologetics. And if the approach is unbiblical, then you are not defending the biblical faith anymore.
I just want to register my disagreement with this book, but I don't really want to write a lot, so I will just make one point about the review by "Dan Olson." He writes, "Stackhouse recognizes that obvious: that when we live in a religiously pluralist society, a reflective person can't but recognize that others hold other mutually exclusive positions, making certainty a bit more tenuous." This sounds very silly to me. For every truth, there are an infinite number of false alternatives. There are an infinite number of false answers to "1 + 1." Am I then to doubt even that, even though I can logically prove a proposition to the exclusion of all other possibilities? To weaken one's certainty because there are many proposed alternatives seems to be a sign of intellectual weakness.
