The God Conversation – Using Stories and Illustrations to Explain Your Faith
Inter-Varsity Press,US (Verlag)
978-0-8308-4486-9 (ISBN)
Think of it this way . . .
Our beliefs are challenged from many directions. Every day it seems more difficult to explain to our friends, families, and neighbors what we believe and why. When our ideas and arguments fail to persuade them, what then? Is there another approach we can take?
Veteran apologists and communicators J. P. Moreland and Tim Muehlhoff say that the best way to win over others is with a good story. Stories have the ability to get behind our preconceptions and defenses. They appeal to the whole person rather than just to the mind.
This expanded edition includes new chapters and updated stories and illustrations throughout. In these pages the authors enhance the logic and evidence found in other books defending the faith with things that your friends, relatives, or coworkers will ponder long after a conversation is over. Here is sound, empathetic coaching for those of us who long to communicate our faith more effectively.
J. P. Moreland (PhD, University of Southern California; ThM, Dallas Theological Seminary) is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at Talbot School of Theology, Biola University, in La Mirada, California. His books include Philosophical Foundations for a Christian Worldview, Philosophy Made Slightly Less Difficult, and To Everyone an Answer. Tim Muehlhoff (PhD, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) is professor of communication at Biola University in La Mirada, California. He is the author of I Beg to Differ and Marriage Forecasting, and the coauthor of Authentic Communication and Winsome Persuasion.
