Alister McGrath

Los cristianos participan en la apologética cuando construyen puentes hacia la fe. Esto, sostiene Alister McGrath, es tanto una ciencia como un arte. La apologética es una ciencia, porque está firmemente basada en el cristianismo, demostrando y defendiendo su veracidad. Sin embargo, y de igual manera, es un arte, el intento creativo de combinar la proclamación del evangelio con las necesidades y las inquietudes de personas de carne y hueso. Por...

The Bible is a narrative--the story of God's creation, humankind's fall, and God's plan of redemption. And it is filled with countless smaller stories that teach us about people, history, and the nature of God. It's no surprise that God would choose to reveal himself to us in story--after all, he hardwired us for story. Despite this, we so often attempt to share our faith with others not through story but through systems, arguments, and talking points--methods...
