Where Have all the Apologists Been?

I don’t think I would be venturing too far in saying that many aspiring apologists are weak on church history.  I think I am justified in saying we have neglected our rich apologetic tradition.  Fortunately, Crossway has published a new apologetics reader that collects some of the best historical sources into one place.  K.

Our own Jeff Waddington helped out with the project as well.  The volume brings us up to 1500, but a second volume will bring us to our contemporary era.

Oliphint recently appeared on Prime Time America to talk about the reader.  I regret, you’re going to have to work if you want to listen to this one.  Here are the details from Westminster:
