Description
For 2,000 years, Christians passionate to share the truth about Jesus with other people have thoughtfully done so through books. The technical term for such persons is apologists—meaning those who give a defense—but we could call them “faith thinkers.” They engage in what the fifth-century apologist Augustine called “faith seeking understanding.”
Augustine is one of the 30 “faith thinkers” profiled here, in each case focusing on one of that apologist’s most famous books. From Luke’s book Acts of the Apostles in the first century to Lee Strobel’s The Case for Christ at the end of the 20th century, you will get a clear overview of the history of Christian faith thinkers. Becoming familiar with the works of these 30 thinkers will prepare you to participate meaningfully in a 2,000-year-old conversation.

“Christianity has never lacked articulate defenders, but many people today have forgotten their own heritage. Rob Bowman’s book offers readers of all backgrounds an easy point of entry to this deep and vibrant literature. I wish every pastor knew at least this much about the faithful thinkers of past generations!”
Timothy McGrew

Director, Library of Historical Apologetics
“This is a fantastic little book, written by the perfect person to write it. Bowman’s new Faith Thinkers offers a helpful ‘Who’s Who’ of the great Christian apologists of history and is an excellent resource for students of apologetics!”
James K. Dew
President, New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary
“Finally—an accessible introduction to many of history’s most influential defenders of the Christian faith and their legacy. Always interesting (and often surprising), Robert Bowman’s Faith Thinkers will give a new generation of readers a greater appreciation for the remarkable men who laid the groundwork for today’s apologetics renaissance. Highly recommended.”
