The following are resources provided by
Apologetics315. These are good resources for the application of reason and rhetoric to the apologetic task. Many Evangelicals today don't appreciate the value of this kind of dialog and exhibit a sort of "faith-in-Jesus" simplicity. Now I can divert to other issues, such as a denotative explication of the forms of faith, but this is not my intention, especially since it is not the topic of discussion. For a more detailed justification for profundity in the apologetic task, I would suggest reading Christian philosophers J.P. Moreland and William L. Craig's Philosophical Foundations for a Christian Worldview. Other works are available. If anyone as any questions, please e-mail at jmartinez.reformed@gmail.com
Rhetoric and Christian Persuasion Resources
Philosopher Peter S. Williams (with Damaris) has had a number of good audios lately touching on the subject of classical rhetoric and how it applies to apologetics. These were happened upon after reading the excellent book How to Argue Like Jesus: Learning Persuasion from History's Greatest Communicator by Carter & Coleman, which touches on similar points (The book analyzes Jesus' use of rhetoric; the elements of logos, pathos, & ethos.)
