The Apologetics Study Bible: Understand Why You Believe by Chuck Colson is a book that defends the divine origin and authority of Christianity. The book is interesting because it places one-hundred articles throughout the book about faith which I think adds weight to the rest of the book. It's a good education about ones faith that I think everyone could use.
There is a beautiful new book about God and faith entitled "The Enlightenment, What God Told Me After One Million Prayers: A Message for Everyone," by John H. Eagan. I just finished it. It's really great and deals with God, the creator, Jesus' teachings, and His Passion. It brought me to tears. I think the readers of Colson's book will really enjoy The Enlightenment.

The Apologetics Study Bible is a great tool for new Christians or any Christian who wants a deeper intellectual understanding to ground their faith. With articles from the world's top scholars, philosophers, and professors, this Bible has a wide range of resources for people who want to know they are grounding their faith in reason and not simply taking a leap. Worth much more than the price.

My biggest qualm with this so-called Apologetics Study Bible is that, as far as I can tell, most of the issues they address are not really apologetic matters. They are doctrinal matters. Why does this make a difference? It makes a difference because the way we treat doctrine, which is the particulars of the faith, should be different than apologetics, which is a defense of the faith. Obviously, the two matters are related. A faith built on strong doctrine is more easily defendable.
The problem comes from confusing a legitimate question or interpretation from the inside with an attack from the outside. Christians with different doctrinal stances aren't trying to bring down the faith; if anything, they are trying to make it more coherent. Sometimes this has disastrous results. The problem comes when the writers of this book dedicate nearly a page and a half to refuting Open Theism, which I believe is a legitimate interpretation of scripture. Whether it is right or wrong or even orthodox has little bearing. It is an interpretation built on scripture and must not be treated as an attack. Moreover, I actually laughed out loud at one of John Frame's answers to Open Theism's critiques. Frame writes, essentially, that God changing His mind was part of His unchanging plan. Seriously? That's your answer? God planned to change His mind? Other petty, non-apologetics related criticisms include: why God is definitely male, why we definitely believe in eternal torment and not annihilation, and, I'm not kidding, why the Churches of Christ are wrong to disallow the use of musical instruments. They actually directly confront the Churches of Christ three times. Oh, and as an added bonus, they address the issue of Lillith, who doesn't even appear in the Bible, just in case you get in a Biblical debate with a vampire.
