Christian Apologetics
When John the Baptist inquired whether Jesus was the Messiah, Jesus pointed to His miracles as evidence (Matt 11:4-6). Similarly, He provided proof of His resurrection to His disciples (Acts 1:3). When new believers in Corinth questioned Paul about his teaching on resurrection, he referenced the evidence of Jesus’s own resurrection (1 Cor. 15:12-19). The disciples also emphasized eyewitness accounts of Jesus’s resurrection in their teachings (Acts 2:14-41). Throughout history, evidence has been a vital component of the Christian message. This evidence doesn’t serve to prove Christianity’s truth; instead, it exists because Christianity is true.
I created this website to highlight that evidence and to support others in their quest for understanding. My doctoral studies in Christian apologetics stemmed from a deep desire to learn more about Jesus and Christianity and explore the foundations of an evidence-based faith. I hope to share insights and resources illuminating the Christian message’s truth through this platform.
What is Apologetics?
Christian Apologetics is the discipline that deals with a rational defense of the Christian faith. It comes from the Greek word apologia, which means to give a reason or defense. Peter used the word apologia in 1 Peter 3:15. Luke quotes Paul using apologia in Acts 22:1. The word apologia is used 8 times in the New Testament.
