Description
Challenging the dominant Van Tillian approach in Reformed apologetics, this book by a leading expert in contemporary Reformed theology sets forth the principles that undergird a classic Reformed approach. J. V. Fesko's detailed exegetical, theological, and historical argument takes as its starting point the classical Reformed understanding of the "two books" of God's revelation: nature and Scripture. Believers should always rest on the authority of Scripture but also can and should appeal to the book of nature in the apologetic task.

Any time you present an argument having to do with theology/philosophy, I think you can expect the audience to have some bias, as well as the author. I was impressed with the restraint shown here when making judgments about what previous thoughts and ideas have been given in the past about this subject.
The author has clearly done a lot of research and has a broad understanding of the topics in this book, however, I would have liked to have seen some of the chapters and ideas expanded upon more since I thought the author fully capable of doing so. There were some parts of the book that were very detailed and interesting and others that left me wanting more and a bit disappointed that there was not more depth.
If you are beginning your research and want a book that is fully approachable, this would be an excellent choice. As I was looking at this book from a scholarly perspective and not a theological one, I can't really say how other people in a general audience would feel about it, but I personally thought it was interesting and valuable.
This review is based on a complimentary copy from the publisher, provided through Netgalley. All opinions are my own.

In the current state of apologetics, this is an excellent volume that needs much interaction. Between the presuppositional and classical approaches to apologetics, there can be a lack of middle-ground and understanding that needs greater bolstering. Fesko is readable and reasoned.
