Monday July 18, discussion is open for the Introduction of The End of Apologetics.
Since this is an experimental book group, I’m trying things out here. Together we can learn what kinds of discussion strategies work and don’t work. So, please bear with my experiments.
In case folks who want to participate in this discussion are having a hard time deciding how to start, here are some OPTIONAL questions/prompts you might (or might not) find useful. If you have thoughts or suggestions about including questions in the discussion, feel free to PM me. If there’s interest in the future in doing similar book discussions, we can start establishing a culture for them.
- What can End mean in the book title?
- What point does Penner make, using MacIntyre’s fable?
- What does Penner claim is the problem with Modern (not “contemporary”) apologetics? Why does he claim this?
- What connection does Penner make between postmodernism and Christian apologetics?
- Based on Penner’s description of the rest of the chapters of the book, what are you most looking forward to reading about?
- What questions do you hope the book will address and/or answer?
