Summary: Small but Welcome Addition to Apologetics Bookshelves
Review: Since its publication ten years ago, Kreeft and Tacelli's hefty Handbook of Christian Apologetics has been the last word for Catholics in dealing with the apathy, subjectivity, or occasionally outright hostility of the modern secular world. But it's very completeness (over 400 large pages) made it intimidating. Now at last comes this pocket-sized abridgement, by the original authors. Today all too many Catholic apologetics books assume you're discussing the faith with evangelicals who are well-versed in Scripture. But the reality is that the non-religious (ranging from vaguely spiritual new-agers to uninformed agnostics to functional atheists) are at least as common in our society as "Bible Christians". This is a perfect intro for Christians that need to respond with logic to objections and concerns about fundamental beliefs (God, moral law, miracles, the problem of pain, Jesus Christ). It's also great for those who want to see how classic Catholic reasoning "stacks up" to the modern world.

Summary: Short, sweet, but not obscure
Review: This is a great addition to the Christian Apologists arsenal. The basic arguments are laid out, shortly, sweetly, and comprehensibly. Covers the traditional areas of Christian Apologetics in a traditional way. Great read at a great price.
