Summary: Fantastic book!
Comment: Wilson lays easy to understand solutions against different worldviews. Page 44 is one of my favorite parts of this book:
"Your earlier chain of reasoning, and your statement just now, indicate that you believe in the validity of reason."
"That is correct."
"Why is that?"
"What do you mean, 'Why is that?'"
"Do you believe in the theory of evolution?"
"I certainly do. Science has settled the matter beyond question."
"So you believe that all we see around us is the result of time and chance acting on matter?"
"I do."
"And that nothing exists unless it is the result of this process?"
"Correct."
"So this is what lies behind my earlier question. Why do you believe in the validity of reason? How can time and chance, acting on matter, produce reason?"
This leaves many atheists virtually speechless or mute on the subject. You should make an effort to get Wilson's debate with Dan Barker. Furthermore, if you search any web enginge, you're liable to find Wilson's debate with Farrell Till and Theodore M. Drange.

Summary: Short Dialogues that teach Method of Apologetics!
Comment: I enjoyed this book very much because of its brevity as well as its readability. It introduces the application of pressupositional apologetics through series of dialogues with the "Evangelist". Much like in Pilgrim's Progress, Evangelist meets interesting characters each with different objections to Christianity.
Let me just name a few topics that are covered: Existence of God, Problem of Evil, Evolutionism, Antinomianism, Legalism, and Roman Catholicism. Doug Wilson manages to even address practical issues like Marriage! What¡¯s great about this book is that it lays down clearly what Reformed Christians believe without getting too technical.
Although I would highly recommend this book to anyone, my only regret is that this book could have done much more. At times, I felt like the dialogues just ended too abruptly leaving the reader hanging. Therefore, in some ways length of this book is its weakness as well as its strength. I felt that much more could have been discussed in each dialogues. Maybe even tell the reader, for instance, what Antinomianism is before the dialogue begins. In fact, I think there is an error in the table of content regarding Antinomianism (topics of John and Bill should be switched). You see, I wouldn't have known that if I weren¡¯t already familiar with the subject.
I¡¯m just hoping there¡¯s going to be a sequel. =)

Summary: Persuasions, A dream of Reason Meeting Unbelief
Comment: As a fairly new Christain and a student at a secular university, I would very strongly recommend reading this book. Apologetics is a daunting word to most (is was to me!) and this book is a gracious gift from God to those of us who want to learn more about the questions others have about the faith but in a very practical, conversational-type of manner. I just ordered it for a sweet friend of mine who is eager to learn more and I hope more Christians pick it up, to use the resources God has given to articulate better, why we can rest in our knowlegde of God.
