Short Dialogues that teach Method of Apologetics!, May 18 2001
By Chang Yuon - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Persuasions: A Dream of Reason Meeting Unbelief. (Paperback)
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. =)

Persuasive indeed!, Oct 4 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Persuasions: A Dream of Reason Meeting Unbelief. (Paperback)
Never before has apologetics been so easy to read and understand. Read this book, and then read Cornelius Van Til's excellent works.

Outstanding (short yet profound) resource for apologetics, Nov 25 1998
By David Russ - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Persuasions: A Dream of Reason Meeting Unbelief. (Paperback)
This book is in the form of dialogues between a Christian and various people who have other world views (e.g., feminist, agnostic, pantheistic, etc.). Each dialogue is short and gets right to the point of showing the illogic of the other world view compared to the Christian world view. Outstanding!!
