International Theological Seminary

Exploring Approaches to Apologetics

Course Code: THE502G

Credits: 3

Dept: Theology

Course Description

The course compares biblical, historical and recent approaches to defending faith in God, Christ and Scripture. It emphasizes the contrast between Peter's method of reasoning among the Jews in Jerusalem (Acts 2) and Paul's among the Gentiles in Athens (Acts 17). It compares the still influential approaches of Augustine and Aquinas. However, the majority of the course examines six approaches of apologists who led in the resurgence of evangelicalism during the last half of the twentieth century. Each approach uses different starting points and forms of argument.
