Situation:
To follow up on the great success of The Apologetics Study Bible, the team at B&H decided to create a version for students. Working with general editor Sean McDowell, the B&H team and Livingstone met together for a day to brainstorm the Purpose/Philosophy/Plan for the Bible and its features. The result is a Bible for students that includes:

• 120 articles on key apologetic questions (written to be clear and understandable for students)
• Study notes
• “Twisted Scripture” notes, focusing on passages most commonly distorted by cults and other religions
• “Bones & Dirt” notes that describe how key archaeological finds build confidence in the reliability of Scripture
• “Notable Quotes” from past and present apologists
• “Challenges and Tactics” notes give specific tactics to help students be prepared to handle some of the most common challenges to Christianity
• “Personal Stories” from some of the great defenders of the Christian faith, along with students who detail personal experiences in defending their faith
• “Fast Facts” lists offer some of the most important apologetics topics in bullet-point format for easy memorization and recall.
