A concise guide to understanding how and why the ancient Christian faith makes sense for today and a blueprint for communicating truth to a "truthless" and cynical generation.The book is centered around 6 key principles: objectivity, rationality, veracity, authority, incompatibility and integrity. In the ultimate apologetic, John MacArthur presents a case for Christianity that serves as a logical explanation as much as a solid defense.
on a subject of great importance. Dr. MacArthur addresses the matter of how the church has sold out to the world and false teachings in a quick and easy way that any layman will be able to grasp. His style of preaching does lend him to one self-serving "example" in his book, but that does not take away from the importance of what he is saying. There IS only one way to God and that is through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ. Any other way leads you straight to Hell.
To the point

This text is a short, concise review of the dangers of postmodern thought and the consequent response of Biblical Christianity. This is not an extensive, exhaustive theological tome, but provides the necessary information to understand the postmodern position as it contrasts with Biblical teaching. Other reviewers have castigated Dr. MacArthur for not using the very arguments he eschews. That is debatable nonsense. The issue is not technique of debate nor Dr. MacArthur's academic purview. The issue is simply one of truth. Even Os Guiness, in Fit Bodies Fat Minds, ends his discourse with an appeal for the truth (p.152). This short essay of MacArthurs may be overpriced, but it does not overstate its thesis. This is an excellent book and should be widely disseminated.
A brief but fantastic book!

Dr. John MacArthur, quite possibly the greatest Bible teacher in the world today and certainly one of the most courageous, has concisely outlined a great truth for today's anti-Christian, Postmodern society. In this short book, which can be read in a couple sittings, he points out that Biblical truth--the very word of God--can be known and should be defended. He quickly and clearly sums up what needs to be said throughout the Christian world. I'm recommending this to my friends who love God and truth.
Finally - someone with the courage to speak the truth!

John MacArthur doesn't waste time or pages making his point that there is only ONE WAY to heaven. Even today's clergy, with their politically correct views, are too afraid to say what John is saying in this book. I only wish more Christian authors had the guts to tell it like it is, instead of worrying what the world thinks.
