Apologetic Strategies

This program delves into the essentials of Christian apologetics, focusing on key strategies such as classical, evidential, and presuppositional approaches. Participants will explore the historical and archaeological foundations of biblical texts, assess responses to common criticisms, and examine the philosophical underpinnings of faith from thinkers like Augustine, Aquinas, and C.S. Lewis. Topics include the inspiration of the Bible, the role of miracles, and the significance of prophecy, all aimed at equipping individuals to defend their beliefs rationally and effectively.
