Apologetics Resources for Alabama Baptist

Apologetic Resources

This list is something I’ve compiled for the Alabama Baptist concerning apologetic resources that are generally accepted in our community and are written from a scholarly perspective. Many of the authors below have actually been used by Tactical Faith in equipping the local churches around Alabama in the past. So, you don’t have to be Baptist to enjoy and benefit from this list. It’s a merely apologetic list, and should be enjoyed as such.


Ecclesiastes 12:11-12 “The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails – given by one shepherd. Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them. Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body.”

About Matthew

The ability to ultimately understand anything requires more than just the fierce determination of the will.  The starting point and the default position of any learning process must at its core be grounded in true humility.  It is humility that allows someone to correctly assess both external and internal situations.  In sports we see this play out over the life of a dedicated athlete.  When someone is young and learning a sport, they notice quickly how much their skills and knowledge are lacking especially in relation to sports heroes that are idolized.

Our Mission

Tactical Faith’s mission is to cultivate the pursuit of apologetic and theological understanding in the Church.

Church & Law

"God assumed from the beginning that the wise of the world would view Christians as fools...and He has not been disappointed....If I have brought any message today, it is this: Have the courage to have your wisdom regarded as stupidity. Be fools for Christ. And have the courage to suffer the contempt of the sophisticated world."
-Antonin Scalia
