Dr Louis Markos' new book, My Apologetics Dinner Party, presents a method of talking about Christian faith that is not based primarily on propositional logic or the defense of truth claims (though these features do show up). Instead, he aims to clarify what Christians actually believe through a winsome and engrossing narrative in the tradition of Socratic dialogue.Book: My Apologetics Dinner Party: A Real-Life Socratic DialogueDr Markos' BioDr Louis Markos at Houston Christian UniversityWHAT YOU'LL LEARN:The Importance of a MealInterrogations or Conversation?Common & Difficult Questions That People HaveABOUT THE GUEST: Dr Markos Louis Markos is a professor of English and scholar in residence at Houston Christian University, where he holds the Robert H.
