*Contending for the Truth is an example of the practical application of the theory laid out in Theology and Apologetics: An Examination of How and Where They Intersect*

Dive into the complex and sometimes dangerous waters of Christian doctrine. Contending for the Truth deals with many of the doctrines that are either highly debated or are commonly held beliefs that do not hold up to scrutiny.

• Is the Bible truly inerrant?
• Is the moral argument worth having in our apologetics repertoire?
