Why Study 'Apologetics?'

Apologetics involves defending and contending for truth. In this class, you'll learn how Biblical arguments have been shaped and refined over the centuries - and you'll be given tools to reason with friends and family.

Course Objectives (ST 513)

In the 'History Of Apologetics' you'll learn how God's Word has been advocated by the apostles, prophets, church fathers, and others. By seeing how these defenders answered the skeptics of their day, you'll be better equipped to handle the questions of others. Additionally, we'll see how Christians have historically addressed such challenges as paganism, Gnosticism, atheism, rationalism, and postmodern thought.
