A call for a new understanding of apologetics, moving away from appeals to tran-cultural rationality, arguing for a new form of cross-cultural dialogue.
[The author's] study exposes the weakness of subjectobject dualism and universalist foundationalism in modern epistemology, debunks the modern quest for human autonomy and individualism, and espouses a strong biblical anthropology that human beings are made in the image of God and are part of a wider human community and culture. -- Enoch S. Charles, Southern Asian Bible College, Bangalore * Religious Studies Review *
Dr Benno van den Toren taught apologetics, ethics and doctrine in French-speaking Africa before coming to Wycliffe Hall, Oxford where he is currently tutor in doctrine and Dean of Faculty.
