Explaining the role of apologetics and specifically the apologetic task in the urban, black community, the contributors explain various issues confronting the black church while offering concrete and biblical responses for the believer. The ultimate aim is to equip believers not only to defend the faith but also to proclaim the gospel confidently to those who have been disillusioned or even blinded from the truth of Jesus. |
