This page is devoted to letting you know what we think about books, articles, and movies that are of interest to the Christian apologist. Most of our reviews will be of books that are from a Christian perspective; however, we will occasionally review books and articles that are written against the Bible.

[1] Midwest Apologetics does not fully endorse the Intelligent Design movement (ID). We appreciate their outstanding work in the field of biology but cannot endorse such a vague concept of God (i.e. the Intelligent Designer). We are confident that many in this movement are sincere Christians; however, ID generally does not emphasize the important distinctions between the God of the Bible and the god(s) of other religions, especially monotheistic religions.
