In this second part of his series on myths in Christian apologetics, Dr. Groothuis discusses five more myths about apologetics. He refutes the notion that God is above logic, arguing that God is the source of logic. He clarifies that Jesus used reasoning in his ministry and that Paul was successful at Mars Hill. Groothuis emphasizes the importance of using words to preach the gospel and explains the hypostatic union, stating that Jesus is truly God and truly man, not 100% of each. He advocates for the cumulative case method in apologetics and stresses the necessity of mastering logic. He also counters the idea that no one becomes Christian through apologetics, asserting that the Holy Spirit can use apologetics to draw people to faith.

Myth 6: Jesus is 100% God and 100% Man

Myth 7: It Doesn't Matter What Apologetic Method You Use

Myth 8: Christians Need Not Master Logic and Argument Forms

Myth 9: We Cannot Know Everything, So God Might Exist in Our Ignorance

Myth 10: No One Becomes a Christian Through Apologetics
