In light of the current secular climate, as described by Charles Taylor and others, rhetorical strategies that previously served the church and apologists well are no longer effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJustin Bailey seeks to address this dilemma by infusing apologetics with an appeal to the imagination, the aesthetic, and the affective. Demonstrating that this is possible, he engages with two examples of those who have done apologetics through the imagination: George MacDonald and Marilynne Robinson. By beginning with the imaginative and the aesthetic dimensions of faith beforeexpounding proofs, Bailey argues, hearers of the good news will find both their hearts and their minds engaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJustin Ariel Bailey (PhD, Fuller Theological Seminary) is assistant professor of theology at Dordt University.
