Josh Garner (joshgarner) reviewed Tactics, 10th Anniversary Edition: A Game Plan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions on + 4 more book reviews
Even though I am not entrenched in apologetics, I have heard recommendations from all sorts of people for 'Tactics' for years, and after reading it, it's clear why. Koukl plainly yet eloquently lays out, well, tactics for addressing challenges to Christian arguments. Although the concepts seem obvious (for example, the 'Colombo' tactic, which makes up the bulk of the book, revolves around simply asking your adversary questions), when laid out as they are, it is very clarifying.
The most pressing concern I have is that the book is written from a plainly Protestant perspective, and makes typical theological errors, especially in regards to soteriology. That said, they do not detract from the overall practical advice given. Frankly, this book would be a benefit for anyone engaging in debate, regardless of viewpoint.
