THE COMPLETE BOOK
OF BIBLE ANSWERS
by Ron Rhodes
Harvest House Publishers, 395 pages, $11.99

Apparently, someone has locked apologist Ron Rhodes in a room with a computer. He is writing and he can’t stop! In the past couple years, the Southern California researcher and writer has virtually become a “Book of the Month Club.” But his high volume of output has not affected the quality. His writings are some of the best in their field and are much needed by a Church that continues to lose its desire and ability to discern.

One of his latest offerings is The Complete Book of Bible Answers. From the authority of God’s Word to the nature of God (and Jesus Christ) to man’s sinfulness, salvation and future existence, Rhodes tackles some of what can be difficult objections posed by unbelievers and cultists. He even surveys areas of theological disagreement between believers of different denominations, such as baptism and observance of the Lord’s Supper.

The book also contains critiques of New Age, Word Faith, hyper-Charismatic (such as “holy laughter”) and other cultic teachings and practices. A subject index enables quick location of topics.

The book’s style is in a question-and-answer format. And while Rhodes’ responses are not protracted, they are deliberate, to the point and insightful. While the book’s title, “The Complete Book...”, might be a bit of an oversell, it remains a welcome addition to the Christian’s arsenal of defense for the faith.
