Apologetics

“Stephen Williams, a Welshman, has spent most of his career teaching theology in Belfast. Those acquainted with Irish history will be aware of that city’s bitter history of sectarianism. How wonderful then that a much-respected Presbyterian theologian there should engage with such clarity and sympathy with one of Catholicism’s greatest ever Christian apologists. Williams acknowledges Pascal’s indebtedness to St. Augustine’s teaching as he writes poignantly about the former’s ‘night of fire,’ powerful conversion experience, and much more.”
