Apologetics for the 21st Century
As citizens of the 21st Century, we are living in an age that is heavily influenced by a worldview that denies the reality of objective truth. The idea that the Bible represents absolute truths or holds any authority seems like a strange concept to many people. Many Christians do not feel prepared to interact with the questions contemporary people bring up in conversation. Often believers don't interact because they themselves have only a spotty understanding of the biblical basis for Christian faith. This course will aim at equipping you to respond effectively to people in our skeptical and pluralistic culture, whether on a personal level, in a classroom or in a work venue. I hope you will also be encouraged to deepen your own faith by the large body of evidence, and the reasonable and biblically based explanations that undergird Christian faith.
