<p><b><i>Christianity Today</i> Award of Merit</b></p><p><b>Today's cosmopolitan, multicultural, and multifaith environments call for new approaches to apologetics.</b> The world still needs the good news of Jesus Christ, but to relate the transcultural gospel to diverse and ever-changing contexts, we must free Christian apologetics from dominant Western habits of mind ill-suited to interreligious dialogue. We must listen and speak with both humility and confidence.</p><p>Benno van den Toren and Kang-San Tan provide a global, intercultural introduction to Christian apologetics. They present a model of apologetics as crosscultural dialogue and accountable witness, then explore how it plays out in relation to specific contexts and the major world religions—including primal religions, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, secularism, and late-modern spiritualities. Building on recent developments in apologetics and missiology, as well as their experience teaching internationally in Europe, Asia, and Africa, Van den Toren and Tan offer an approach that is conversational, patient, holistic, and embodied.</p><p>Filled with examples from Scripture and real-world experiences, <i>Humble Confidence</i> gives readers a travel guide to help find the most effective avenues for true dialogue in their own settings.</p>
