Peter encourages the believer, "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." R.C. Sproul dedicated his life to preaching, teaching and defending the Gospel - he continually gave a reason for the hope that he had. In this short book, Sproul takes on some major thinkers (Freud, Marx, Feuerbach and Nietzsche) to explore the nature of unbelief to better grasp the essence of faith. Psychology, sociology and theology are all explored, prompting the reader to think through what they believe and why or alternatively, what they do not believe and why they don't believe it. If you like apologetics and you like to think, this book might be for you. Above all if you wish to give your own reason for the hope that you have, you need to appreciate your audience, your culture and your society - Sproul can help you do this.
