As we prepare our children for adulthood, part of bringing them to maturity should be teaching them biblically sound apologetics. Every Thought Captive was written with that very purpose in mind! Dr. Pratt created the lessons in this book for high school-age students to specifically train them in presuppositional apologetics, a genuine biblical defense of the faith. This book can be used for individual study or with a group. Parents, you may want to study alongside your student, equipping yourself as well as your child! A firm foundation -- Where it all began -- The character of man before sin -- The character of man in sin -- The character of man redeemed by Christ -- The non-Christian point of view -- The Christian point of view -- Attitudes and actions -- Popular tactics -- Stucture of biblical defense -- Defending the faith -- An apologetic parable. by Richard L.
