The success of the Guerrilla Apologetics pocket guides on Catholic and pro-life apologetics has led to the release of two new books: “Guerrilla Apologetics for Catholics” (ISBN: 097722340X) and “Guerrilla Apologetics for Life Issues” (ISBN: 0977223418).
Rather than relying on defending one's faith or beliefs, Guerrilla Apologetics instructs readers on how to target flaws and weaknesses in a challenger's beliefs and take the defensive. The Guerrilla Apologetics books go beyond traditional apologetics books, teaching readers how to make convincing yet charitable arguments, instead of just giving answers to questions asked by challengers.
“Guerrilla Apologetics for Catholics” features 10 questions to ask non-Catholic Christians on topics ranging from the Eucharist to confession, Church authority, and the doctrines of Sola Scriptura and Sola Fide.
“Guerrilla Apologetics for Life Issues” provides 13 questions to ask pro-choice advocates. In addition to abortion, issues of stem cell research and euthanasia are also addressed. Also included in the book is a primer on logical fallacies and illustrations by pro-life cartoonist Paul Nowak of CNSnews.com.
The books are ideal for anyone that wishes to learn the how of apologetics, or is questioned in their workplace, at school, or at social functions where such topics as abortion and religion are considered taboo. The advantage of the Guerrilla Apologetics method is that arguments are made in a short question form – perfect for a quick reply that will force the challenger to reconsider their own position.
Both books are available at www.gapologetics.com, as well as major retailers and distributors such as Amazon.com.
Special pricing is available for retailers, churches, religious education professionals and youth groups who order in quantity.
“Today's youth especially need this, particularly those interacting daily with friends with different convictions,” said author Paul Nowak. “Guerrilla Apologetics is not just about a new way of evangelizing, it is about seeing your own beliefs from a fresh, more confident point of view.”
Shouldn't the second defensive in this sentence be offensive instead? Otherwise this sentence doesn't make much sense.
It's not a very well written sentence, but I think what it's saying is that the challenger will be on the defensive.
