Doing apologetics means presenting arguments to lead peopleto faith or to con rm them in their faith. After discussing therelationship between faith and reason, the author addressesseveral of the thorniest questions that trouble our efforts to unify a heart for Jesus with a mind at work: How do we combine science and faith? Does the Bible contain errors? Can we make the Bible say whatever we want? In discussing all of these issues in Faith and Reason, the authorreminds us of the motivations that should prompt us to seek themost persuasive reasons for believing: to make our decision tohave faith a responsible one, to increase our love for the peoplearound us, and to bring glory to God."
