CRAIG J. HAZEN, Founder and Director, MA Program in Christian Apologetics, Biola University “Markos has joined the top rank of commentators on the work of C. S. Lewis and is a powerful apologist for the Christian faith in his own right. His command of the two great streams of Western thought—Christianity and classics—has enabled him to develop a winsome, sophisticated, and convincing body of work.”
ROBERT B. SLOAN JR., President, Houston Baptist University “It should not surprise us that our antagonists want to maintain that faith and reason are adversaries rather than, as John Paul II put it, ‘like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth.’ Apologetics for the Twenty-first Century is a readable antidote to a conventional wisdom that is indeed conventional but not wise.”
FRANCIS J. BECKWITH, Professor of Philosophy and Church-State Studies, Baylor University “Markos is the Platonic form of the Christian college professor. His love of the Scriptures and his broad mastery of the Western tradition of the humanities makes him the model for a new generation of apologists rising from the universities.”

MARKOS
(PhD, University of Michigan) holds the Robert H. Ray Chair in Humanities at Houston Baptist University. He is the author of several books, including From Achilles to Christ: Why Christians Should Read the Pagan Classics and Lewis Agonistes: How C. S. Lewis Can Train Us to Wrestle with the Modern and Postmodern World.
APOLOGETICS FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
“I’ve read hundreds of books on the defense of the faith in recent years, and this is a stand out. Markos uniquely weaves together theology, literature, history, science, and philosophy to produce a work of apologetics that is both erudite and thoroughly accessible.”
