Dry (but it is an encyclopedia)...but a good reference for overview on various issues in philosophy and Christian apologetics. For more of a flowing read I would recommend his classic "Christian Apologetics" which is written at a seminarian/grad student level.

Christian apologetics (Greek: ἀπολογία, "verbal defence, speech in defence")[1] is a branch of Christian theology that aims to present historical, reasoned, and evidential bases for Christianity, defending it against objections.[2]

centuries, starting with Paul the Apostle in the early church and Patristic writers such as Origen, Augustine of Hippo, Justin Martyr and Tertullian, then continuing with writers such as Thomas Aquinas and Anselm of Canterbury during Scholasticism. Blaise Pascal was an active Christian apologist before the Age of Enlightenment, and in the modern period, Christianity was defended through the efforts of many authors such as G. K. Chesterton and C. S. Lewis. In contemporary times Christianity is defended through the work of figures such as Robert Barron, Richard Swinburne, J. P. Moreland, Ravi Zacharias, Rabi Maharaj, Robert Hutchinson, John Lennox, Doug Wilson, Lee Strobel, Francis Collins, Henry M. Morris, Alister McGrath, Alvin Plantinga, Hugh Ross, Frank Turek, Greg Koukl, James White, David Wood, David Bentley.
Challenges to Christianity come from a variety of people and belief-systems, and Christians are continually searching for the appropriate responses to critics of their faith. THE BAKER ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CHRISTIAN APOLOGETICS is a definitive one-volume resource designed to equip believers for Christian defense against the full range of opposing arguments.
This comprehensive reference volume examines every key issue, person, and concept related to Christian apologetics. Written entirely by leading apologist Norman Geisler, it stands as the culmination of the author's lifelong career and ministry.
