How to Argue Like Jesus – by Joe Carter and John Coleman
Logic & Rhetoric, Other Religions — By Dustin R. Steeve on January 6, 2009 at 5:33 pmJoe has written a book!
How to Argue like Jesus: Learning Persuasion from History’s Greatest Communicator
by Joe Carter and John Coleman
Joe sent me a note about the book in which he said: “Argue Like Jesus, which was written for both Christians and
non-believers, uses Jesus as a model of logic, rhetoric, and persuasion in order
to show how to be a more effective influencer and communicator. We think
students, bloggers, business people, and anyone else who needs to be persuasive
will find it useful (it’s short — 170 pages — and practically oriented).
You can learn more about it on our website: ArgueLikeJesus.com.”
I have provided a link above so that you can purchase your copy of the book through Amazon. I just ordered my copy and look forward to reading it.

Thanks for the plug, Dustin! We hope you enjoy the book. When you’ve had a chance to read it, I know Joe and I would love to hear what you think.
Jesus argued so well that the establishment plotted to kill him. Good luck with your take on influencing effectively ;-)
Отлично!!! Вместо книги на ночь.
Jean,
“Jesus argued so well that the establishment plotted to kill him. Good luck with your take on influencing effectively ;-)”
I too am skeptical about attempts to turn Jesus into a philosopher, a political figure, or even an “apologist” as we conceive of them today. It seems to me that Jesus merely proclaimed his message and demanded a response. Those who disagreed with Jesus, primarily the Pharisees, were not met with winsome persuasion tactics, but with harsh rebukes.
That said, Jesus’ words have been the most influential in history, and even if the establishment plotted to kill him, that doesn’t really say anything about how effective he was at arguing his points and influencing people. Given the spread of Christianity to a third of the World’s population, it would seem that we could at least give Joe and John the benefit of doubt.
Yeah, it seems to me like they plotted to kill him precisely because His arguments created problems for them. Even the best rhetorician doesn’t convince his determined enemies, and ineffective ones aren’t considered a threat.
Anyhow, the point of “arguing like Jesus” may not be to become the world’s “best” arguer, but to follow a model of doing it faithfully and in the power of the Spirit. Faithfully and persuasively don’t have to be the same thing anyway.
I have a question for you.
What do you think of my new blog entry?
