Another good volume collecting short, apologetic essays from various authors. This format is growing on me and is so good to encourage focused discussion.
There are stronger and weaker chapters, of course, Objections Overruled II had compelling and varied topics. The topics chosen for this volume were interesting and avoided overlap more than the first.
I did find the answer to the argument that the Bible teaches bigotry to be lacking. However, it generated good discussion. I also haven’t heard this topic handled excellently without the desire to downplay a bold statement of faithful doctrine regarding men and women.
Even so, a good primer to a wide variety of criticisms against Christianity with answers that set the reader on the right path.
