ON GIANTS' SHOULDERS: Studies in Christian Apologetics
By Edgar Powell
Day One Publications. 262 pages. £8.99
ISBN 0 902548 93 X

Edgar Powell has set himself the task of confronting the secular approach to life and to evaluate the alternatives (p.14) and believes that he has shown 'that there is sufficient evidence and arguments to vindicate the Christian faith' (p.196). Each of the 12 chapters ends with recommended reading, end-notes, questions for further study and food for thought. This makes it suitable for a study guide, but the material is of a level that will make it most suitable for students rather than the average church study group.

The book is liberally filled with quotations which some will find a valuable resource and others will probably find it irritating. They do prevent the smooth flow of the argument that would follow from the author's own words. However, the quotes are a relevant and useful compendium of material.
