   Ingen Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog.  agentx216 | Aug 27, 2023 |   I am not the hugest fan of either Josh McDowell's apologetics or didactic fiction. Yet I read this whole trilogy of apologetic prose and admittedly enjoyed it. The characters are formulaic (the chief apologist in the first two books is a tall, athletic African American who is smarter than everyone he talks to, and most of the 'atheists' convert from hearing their 'superior' arguments). Most of the Christian arguments in this book are lifted from McDowell's earlier publications and put in the mouth of the characters (or from Gary Habermas's, Dave Sterrett's mentor). That being said it was an engaging format and I believe beneficial for college age believers who are confronted with some of the secular arguments against the resurrection, miracles, the supernatural (and if you include the earlier installments of the trilogy, the reliability of the Bible, and the divinity of Christ). For people with specific doubts about Christian truth, many of these arguments will be overly simple. In general the answers get better through out the trilogy (I think the resurrection answers in this book are better than the Bible answers in the first). For a better, less formulaic fictional apologetic conversation, I recommend Randall Rauser's The Swedish Athiest, A Scuba Diver and Other Apologetic Rabbit Trails.

Belongs to SeriesThe Coffee House Chronicles (book 3)
With over 40 million books sold, bestselling author Josh McDowell is no stranger to creatively presenting biblical truth. Now, partnering with fellow apologist Dave Sterrett, Josh introduces a new series targeted at the intersection of story and truth. The Coffee House Chronicles are short, easily devoured novellas aimed at answering prevalent spiritual questions. Each book in the series tackles a long-contested question of the faith, and then answer these questions with truth through relationships and dialogue in each story. In Did the Resurrection Happen, Really?: A Dialogue on Life, Death, and Hope, the college campus is rocked by a shooting spree that leaves nine students dead. Their up-close experience with mortality allies the coffee house discussion group together to really wrestle with the spiritual and eternal ramifications of whether or not Jesus rose from the dead. The other two books in the series: Is the Bible True, Really? and Who is Jesus, Really? continue the unfolding story at the college campus and the coffee house down the road.

If you've read Did Jesus Rise From The Dead? by William Lane Craig you've pretty much read this book. There are a few added details but it's really only the style that you're paying for that's new. The conversation scheme has been done since Plato so there's no hate on the style. however, if you're not into the fictional conversation then this would be a pass. There might have been more ways to take the narrative structure but this is a "college students in a coffee shop" setting. Fine information and if you read a chapter a day it'd be a quick 10 minutes max a day. Final Grade - C-
