Some apologetics books teach Christians how to win arguments. This one asks a better question: what kind of people, churches, and conversations make the gospel visible, plausible, and beautiful? Chatraw and Allen give us an apologetics shaped by the cross that is intellectually serious, culturally alert, and attentive to tone, heart, and context. Their 'inside-out' approach is especially valuable for engaging people who do not think they have a God-shaped hole. This is a wise, generous, and deeply useful book.
