-- Karen Swallow Prior, Liberty University; author of Fierce Convictions--The Extraordinary Life of Hannah More: Poet, Reformer, Abolitionist
"While written for a broad readership, this engaging book gives preachers solid guidance on how to mount arguments in our sermons that are interesting, fair, and convincing. Though the art of oral argument has a noble history in Christian preaching, we haven't heard much on that subject lately. Holland and Forrest correct that, and those of us who preach will benefit from their efforts."
-- Will Willimon, Duke Divinity School; United Methodist bishop, retired
"This extremely approachable yet detailed primer presents instructions for lucid and humble argumentation in speech and writing. Good Arguments provides ample illustrations--some jovial and some provocative--that improved my ability to think clearly and to persuade, even when I found myself disagreeing with some of the examples. Believers are asked to provide a reason for the hope that resides within them, and this text will support that good work."
-- Amy Peeler, Wheaton College
"Roman teacher of rhetoric Quintilian depicts the consummate orator as a good person speaking well. Holland and Forrest provide the basics for speaking well, supplying both cerebration and celebration in their depiction of Christians arguing for a positive verdict in their witness of the gospel. In an arena where truth is often dumbed down, this volume takes the reader higher up!"
-- Robert Smith Jr., Beeson Divinity School, Samford University
"We live in a day when too few people--including Christians--can tell the difference between assertions and evidence, opinion and fact, logical fallacies and helpful analogies. Here is a great, accessible primer on logic and healthy argumentation that can point Christians toward more faithful reasoning and speaking."
-- Kelly M. Kapic, Covenant College
"Improving one's critical thinking and persuasive argumentation skills is well worth the time and effort. This volume is effectively designed to refine both abilities. I therefore confidently recommend a careful perusal as a worthy investment."
-- Paul Hartog, Faith Baptist Theological Seminary
