Top Ten Christian Apologetics Books
Although I have my own favourites, I do find it interesting to discover what other people like in the area of Christian apologetics.
As a result, I am sharing Amazon’s top ten list. However, I am changing it a bit. The reason is that they include multiple formats in a way that one book can appear three times in the list. I will mention when more versions have appeared but I will only link to the paper version. I will also note if I have read it and if I agree with it being there.
1. Preaching by Timothy Keller (USA) (Canada)
This book gets high ratings in paperback, Kindle and Audible. I have not read it but as a Keller fan and a preacher, it is on my list.
2. Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis (USA) (Canada)
This book also gets very high ratings in paperback, Kindle and Audible. I have read it multiple times and have listened to an audio version. Definitely a classic.
3. The Reason for God by Timothy Keller (USA) (Canada)
This book gets high ratings for paperback and Kindle. I loved this book as it is a great example of how pastors can minister as apologists.
4. On the Path of the Immortals by Cris D. Putnam (USA) (Canada)
I know absolutely nothing about this book.
5. The Knowledge of the Holy by A.W. Tozer (USA) (Canada)
I must confess that I have not read this although I know I should.
6. The Complete C.S. Lewis Signature Classics by C.S. Lewis (USA) (Canada)
I have read many of the books in this collection but not all. It would be a great introduction to Lewis.
7. Jesus Among Other Gods by Ravi Zacharias (USA) (Canada)
I have not read this book but I do enjoy Ravi Zacharias.
8. The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel (USA) (Canada)
I have read this book and I highly recommend it as introduction into the world of apologetics.
9. Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus by Nabeel Qureshi (USA) (Canada)
I have not read this book, although I have heard great things about it.
10. More Than a Carpenter by Josh McDowell (USA) (Canada)
I read this book many years ago. Josh McDowell was one of the pioneers of modern apologetics aimed the popular audience.
There is the top ten, What books would you put in your top ten? I know my top ten would look different. I will present my own in a future post.




I have found these books useful:
“A Reasonable Response” and “On Guard” by William Lane Craig.
“How should we then live”, “The God who is there” and “He is there and he is not silent” by Francis Schaeffer
“The case for Jesus” by Lee Strobel
“Canon revisited” by Michael Kruger
God bless!
