| Abstract | "This book presents an intellectual history of Anglo-American Protestant Christian apologetics from the seventeenth-century Puritans to twenty-first American evangelicals. The book draws on evidence from the works of leading Christian apologists and college courses in Christian evidences to argue that defenses of faith and reason provided an important bridge between the Enlightenment and a biblically based Protestant Christian faith in the early years of the American republic, and it then examines how that synthesis was reshaped in response to new developments in science and biblical criticism. The book examines how liberal Protestant Christian apologists reshaped their arguments for Christian faith in the early twentieth century and the effect that these arguments had on American religious culture. The book concludes with an examination of the fragmentation of Christian apologetics after the 1960s and a reflection of the place of Christian apologetics in American life today"-- Provided by publisher. |
