This major reference work is offered as a resource for today's church in its life, worship, and mission to the world. It aims to enable readers not merely ro defend the gospel of Jesus Christ againt attack, but also to commend it positively.

The Dictionary addresses the main intellectual objections to the Christian Faith, and puts the case in its favour from a wide variety of perspectives. But since apologetics is the task of the whole person, the contributors also consider how the truth of the church's message can be demonstrated within the diverse elements of contemporary culture.
