Course Description: The Greek word apologia denotes the activity of offering a defence against an accusation. Peter uses the term in 1 Peter 3:15 more broadly to convey the concept of defending biblical truths against false accusations. This course will introduce students to several arguments aimed at creating a robust set of biblically and philosophically-based defences of important truths of the Christian faith. Students will be exposed to arguments for the existence of God, the plausibility of the resurrection, the reliability of Scripture, the nature and necessity of faith, and the reality of evil.
