Why Good Arguments Often Fail

You gave it your best shot. You made the best case you knew how, and your friend still wasn’t persuaded to follow Christ. Why is it that solid, rational arguments for the Christian faith often fail?

For over 50 years James W. Sire has asked himself that question. Sometimes, of course, the arguments themselves just aren’t that good. Sometimes the problem has to do with us and not the arguments. And sometimes the problem lies with the hearers.

With wisdom borne of both formal and informal experience, Sire grapples with these issues and offers practical insight into making a more persuasive case for Christ.
