All of the chapters are interesting, and should be read by those who are trying to understand how a Christian should approach seeming "neutral" topics like mathematics.

The article by Greg Bahnsen on apologetics is a classic. It is probably the single clearest introduction to the presuppositional approach to apologetics available anywhere. It alone is worth the price of the book.
