Koukl now applies the tactics to several of the most common specific challenges Christians face — showing that the same tools work across a wide range of objections.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Koukl works through several specific challenges in this chapter. Which of the objections he addresses do you encounter most frequently? How did his approach to it compare with how you've handled it before?
2.He addresses the claim that 'Christians are hypocrites.' How does he suggest you handle this — not by defending all Christians, but by reframing the challenge? What distinction does he draw, and why is it important?
a.How does acknowledging the truth in the criticism (Christians do sometimes fail) actually strengthen rather than weaken your position?
b.What is the difference between Christianity as a system and Christians as individuals?
3.Koukl handles the objection 'That's just your interpretation' — often raised against specific claims about the Bible. What is the Columbo-style response to this, and why does it put the burden of proof back where it belongs?
