Narrative Apologetics: Sharing the Relevance, Joy, and Wonder of the Christian Faith
In this groundbreaking book, scholar and author Alister McGrath lays a foundation for narrative apologetics. Exploring four major biblical narratives, enduring stories from our culture such as Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia, and personal narratives from people such as Augustine of Hippo and Chuck Colson, McGrath shows how we can both understand and share our faith in terms of story.
Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“Many of us have been struggling to figure out how all the talk in recent theology about 'narrative' and 'imagination' can inform our quest for a new approach in apologetics. In this fine book Alister McGrath puts it all together for us--including the focus on practical applications. This is a must-read for all who want to show others how the gospel of Jesus Christ addresses the deepest hopes and fears of the human condition.”
Richard Mouw
Fuller Theological Seminary
“Professor McGrath's life and work have been a gift to those who celebrate the life of the mind. Here he invites us further still, reminding us that Christianity is not simply something external to be observed and confirmed but an internal reality to be lived. Narrative Apologetics is a compelling call to resist a reductionist rationality and to enter into the 'imaginative embrace' of the Christian faith. Read this book to be envisioned again about the expansiveness of the Christian story and to be given practical insight into how we might 'out-narrate' the stories of our cultures with the better story of Christ.”

dean, Oxford Center for Christian Apologetics
