The tools of the trade when it comes to apologetics is a good library. But what kind of books should an apologist have? There are thousands of books out there but you can’t read them all (trust me, I’ve tried!). Some books are to be read from cover to cover and others are good for reference. The bottom line is that you should be intentional in how you build your library.
Although I will offer recommendations for specific books, the main point is that there are certain categories that need to be covered. Here is what you need when it comes to building your library.
General Apologetics
Bible Background
Bible Commentaries
Theology
Philosophy
Faith and Science
Logic and Reasoning
