Apologetic Preaching: Proclaiming Christ to a Postmodern World

by Craig A. Loscalzo

How can we preach when traditional approaches no longer work? While dealing with apologetic issues about relativism and faith was once reserved for non-Christians, today even regular churchgoers have questions that need to be addressed. But not only do they have questions, they often seem to have a totally different mindset of skepticism and doubt that resists authoritative presentations of the truth of Scripture. How can we preach about godly behavior when people appear oblivious to moral moorings? How can we talk about sin, evil, judgment and commitment in an era of political correctness? How can we draw people to true supernatural reality when a wide array of competing spiritual experiences beckons them in books, movies and alternative religions? These are the challenges that Craig Loscalzo meets in this down-to-earth book. While giving straightforward explanations of the changes taking place all around us, he shows and tells concretely how to communicate clearly and compellingly. Brief sample sermons at the end of each chapter flesh out the principles he presents. In this book you'll discover what it means to Here is a book for everyone who wants to proclaim the certainty of God's Word in an era of change.

Apologetic Preaching by Craig Loscalzo is okay, I was looking for something more, something deeper, of course the book is barely 125 pages long so my expectations were probably a bit to high. I like what the author wants to do but I don’t think he ever achieves his purpose.

Here are a few books that I think are much more helpful & profitable:
Telling the Truth by D.A. Carson
The Wages of Spin by Carl Trueman
The Last Christian on earth by Os Guinness
Preaching That Changes Lives by Michael Fabarez
