The Layman’s Manual on Christian Apologetics

“Chilton’s Manual delivers on its promise to make accessible to the local church the powerful resources of apologetics. Providing an aerial view of the apologetic landscape at once refreshing and required, written with winsomeness and good humor, it shows the author’s pastoral heart, practitioner’s spirit, and rigorous mind. This book can and will equip readers to answer honest questions and gain confidence and boldness in sharing, explaining, and defending the good news of the gospel.”


—David Baggett, co-author (with Jerry Walls), The Moral Argument: A History





“Chilton’s book offers practical insight into the objections that are facing Christians. What is most impressive is that this work teaches this on a level that anyone can understand. At the conclusion of the book, the reader will be able to think critically about the issues that are being raised against Christianity.”


—Wes McGarry, Associate Pastor, Westfield Baptist Church, Westfield, North Carolina





“I can think of no better introduction to the field of Christian defense than that of The Layman’s Manual on Christian Apologetics. I hope that this book not only blesses its readers as they grow in truth and understanding but also inspires them to share their faith more confidently. In my view, this is the best book of its kind and just what the church needs considering our current cultural climate.”


—J. D. Kline, graduate of Liberty University and Christian Apologist
