"Sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence " -1 Peter 3:15

Scripture is clear about the fact that we must be prepared to communicate the truth of the Gospel when given the opportunity--and do it with the right attitude. But even when your tone is gentle and respectful, what, specifically, should you say when asked or confronted about your faith? And what is your overall responsibility to unbelievers as a disciple of Christ?

Pastor John MacArthur responds to these very questions and more--with solid, biblical answers focused in four particular areas:

• your attitude
• your preparedness
• the content of your answers
• your priority in witnessing

Combining a biblical study of evangelism, a rational defense of Christian beliefs, and a practical approach to evangelism, this book offers a well-rounded perspective that can help you gently and confidently give an answer for the hope you have in Christ.

At a time when schools and universities are under ever-increasing pressure to serve a variety of ends - for example, national prosperity, managerial efficiency, democratic citizenship - are they betraying their proper ends as educational institutions? Might the dominant discourses in terms of which we now think about and develop policies for education not only undermine its integrity but even prevent recognition of this very fact? These fundamental questions are addressed in this book, first in an interview with Alasdair MacIntyre and then in critical responses by leading philosophers of education. In the context of wide-ranging debates about modernity and post-modernity, the volume seeks to reclaim the integrity of education and to reveal the distinctiveness of teaching as a central human practice..
