Book • 2000
In 'Tactics: A Game Plan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions,' Gregory Koukl provides Christians with practical tools to engage in conversations about their faith.
The book emphasizes the use of friendly curiosity and relaxed diplomacy rather than confrontation.
Koukl introduces several tactics, such as the Columbo Tactic, which involves asking questions like 'What do you mean by that?
' and 'How did you come to that conclusion?
' to gather information and clarify the other person's views.
The book also covers strategies for identifying logical flaws in arguments and handling various types of conversational challenges.
Koukl's approach is designed to help Christians confidently and winsomely initiate and navigate discussions about their faith without needing to be experts in apologetics.
