Transcending Proof – Review
The first foreword I have ever written for a book was for DonMcIntoh’s Transcending Proof. While it is an honour to be asked, I am not attention-seeking enough to let my name go on anything. I would not have written this unless I believed in what Don was writing.
I recently received a paperback version of the book and had the opportunity to reread it without the pressure of making mental notes of what I would say in the foreword. As I read it, my thought was that I was glad that I agreed to endorse the book. It is a well written piece of apologetics.
Don McIntosh is a thoughtful writer who truly wrestles with the subjects that he tackles. Don’s aim is not to just give a simple defence, but rather to examine critiques of Christianity in a intellectually honest manner.
One of the things that I really appreciated about the book is the wide range of topics that he writes on. Chapters in this book look at everything from philosophy to archaeology to Gnosticism and more. Reading this book will not make you an expert in every subject but it is a very helpful sampling of the state of apologetics today. If you are looking for an area of apologetics to specialize in, this book will give you some good options.
Transcending Proof is a good example of the type of apologetics material that we need. It is both intellectually rigorous and accessible to those who are not experts. I highly recommend this book.
