For 2,000 years, Christians passionate to share the truth about Jesus with other people have thoughtfully done so through books. The technical term for such persons is apologists-meaning those who give a defense-but we could call them "faith thinkers." They engage in what the fifth-century apologist Augustine called "faith seeking understanding."Augustine is one of the 30 "faith thinkers" profiled here, in each case focusing on one of that apologist's most famous books. From Luke's book Acts of the Apostles in the first century to Lee Strobel's The Case for Christ at the end of the 20th century, you will get a clear overview of the history of Christian faith thinkers. Becoming familiar with the works of these 30 thinkers will prepare you to participate meaningfully in a 2,000-year-old conversation.

"Is Man a Myth?" asks the title of one of Mr. Tumnus's books. It was apparently an open question in Narnia during the Long Winter, and it has become so again for us. In Mere Humanity, Donald T. Williams plumbs the writings of three beloved Twentieth-Century authors to find answers that still resonate in the Twenty-First. Chesterton, Lewis, and Tolkien explain in their expositions and incarnate in their fiction a robust biblical doctrine of man that gives us a firm place to stand against the various forms of reductionism that dominate our thinking about human nature today.
