In light of the current secular climate, as described by Charles Taylor and others, rhetorical strategies that previously served the church and apologists well are no longer effective. Justin Bailey seeks to address this dilemma by infusing apologetics with an appeal to the imagination, the aesthetic, and the affective. Demonstrating that this is possible, he engages with two examples of those who have done apologetics through the imagination: George MacDonald and Marilynne Robinson. By beginning with the imaginative and the aesthetic dimensions of faith before expounding proofs, Bailey argues, hearers of the good news will find both their hearts and their minds engaged.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>This important book not only builds a case for an apologetics that takes 'the imaginative content of belief seriously, ' but is itself a marvelous exercise of the theological imagination. Drawing on poetry, novels, and our experiences of sunsets, Justin Bailey makes a convincing case for 'reimagining apologetics' that also speaks to our souls!</p>--Richard J. Mouw, president emeritus and professor of faith and public life, Fuller Theological Seminary<br>
