About this title

Synopsis

While reading Ham & Beemer’s “Already Gone,” author Dan Kreft realized that the Sunday school curriculum that he co-authored was failing to give his students the tools they needed to defend their faith outside of the four walls of the church. Feeling convicted that he was part of the problem of two-thirds of youth deciding to abandon the faith before they even reached high school, Kreft jettisoned his curriculum and started over again. From that point on, he focused intently on teaching his students how to give reasonable answers to reasonable questions and critiques of Christianity. He also became keenly interested in getting parents involved, and to that end began to email a synopsis of each lesson on Sunday to the students’ parents on Monday night. These emails became the foundation upon which “‘Jesus’ Is Not the Answer to Every Sunday School Question” is based.In “Book 3: Practical Apologetics,” Kreft takes the principles learned in the first two volumes of his book (“Foundations,” and “Who is God?”) and applies them to situations from everyday life: a YouTube video purporting to use math to disprove the flood of Noah’s day, a pair of Mormon missionaries at the door, and a months-long encounter with a Jehovah’s Witness on a commuter bus after work. He also presents biblical answers to questions that come from our culture, such as “Does God want me to be happy?” and “Was it possible for Jesus to have sinned during His temptation in the desert?” He also relates biblically-based answers to some questions that his students have asked over the years, for example “Is there a sin you can commit that would cause you to lose your salvation?” and “Why would God make Lucifer so appealing if He knew what Lucifer was eventually going to do?”
