What is Christian apologetics? Every Christian, though, should be equipped to know what they believe, why they believe it, how to share it with others, and how to defend it against lies and attacks. A second aspect to Christian apologetics that is often ignored is the second half of 1 Peter 3:15, "but do this with gentleness and respect..." Defending the Christian faith with apologetics should not involve being rude, angry, or disrespectful. Christian apologetics is simply presenting a reasonable defense of the Christian faith and Christian truth to those whom disagree. www.gotquestions.org /Christian-apologetics.html   (471 words)

Apologetics Apologetics undertakes not the defense, not even the vindication, but the establishment, not, strictly speaking, of Christianity, but rather of that knowledge of God which Christianity professes to embody and seeks to make efficient in the world, and which it is the business of theology scientifically to explicate. Apologetics is the name which most naturally suggests itself, and it is the name which, with more or less accuracy of view as to the nature and compass of the discipline, has been consecrated to this purpose by a large number of writers from Schleiermacher down (e.g. Having defined apologetics as the proof of the truth of the Christian religion, many writers naturally confine it to what is commonly known somewhat loosely as the "evidences of Christianity." Others, defining it as "fundamental theology," equally naturally confine it to the primary princi-pies of religion in general. members.aol.com /twarren14/bb_apologetics.html   (3736 words)

Christian Apologetics Wiki — Wiki Type Articles on Christian Apologetics That You Can Use Freely In other words, the purpose of Christian Apologetics is not to defend the Bible with the attitude as though it is a helpless book.

These criticisms against the Christian faith have received so much media coverage that even a good number of well informed non Christians are aware of some of the major charges labeled against the Christian faith. www.apologeticswiki.com   (0 words)

Apologetics This introduction to Christian apologetics, rather than delving into specific arguments for the faith, examines the need to think well and develop logic skills. James Robinson argues that parallel trajectories, springing from primitive Christian experiences of post-resurrection appearances of Christ as a luminous bodily form, issued in the second-century Gnostic understanding of the appearance as unembodied radiance and in the second-century orthodox view of the appearances as nonluminous physical encounter. On the positive side, the historicity of the story is supported by two considerations: (1) as an apologetic, the story is not a fail-safe answer to the charge of body-snatching, and (2) a reconstruction of the history of tradition lying behind Jewish-Christian polemic makes the fictitiousness of the guard unlikely. www.leaderu.com /menus/apologetics.html   (0 words)

Christian Apologetics Christian apologetics has one significant danger -- falling into the trap of relying on one’s own intellectual abilities to try and wrestle someone into the kingdom of God. To ignore prayer in apologetics is to be prideful. Christian apologetics is not the end goal and being a great apologist is not a badge of honor to be worn by the Christian as a demonstration of his intellectual abilities. www.allaboutgod.com /christian-apologetics.htm   (457 words)

Christian Apologetics Manifesto, by Douglas Groothius   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Christian apologetics involves the public presentation and defense of Christianity as true, reasonable, knowable, and existentially pertinent to both individuals and entire cultures. Because apologetics is meant to be the public presentation and defense of Christianity as true, reasonable, pertinent, and knowable, apologists should attempt to offer their arguments in as many public venues as possible. Therefore, qualified Christian apologists should learn to become public intellectuals: thinkers who have mastered their material and are willing and able to enter public discourse and debate in a way that challenges and engages the non-Christian mind as well as galvanizes other Christians to hone their apologetic skills. answers.org /apologetics/christian_apologetics_manifesto.html   (1030 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Apologetics Apologetics is the Christian Apology par excellence, combining in one well-rounded system the arguments and considerations of permanent value that have found expression in the various single apologies. Their judgment seemed to be confirmed by the fact that Christianity attracted but an insignificant portion of the Jewish people, and spread with greatest vigour among the despised Gentiles. apologetics during the last century was the rise of numerous systems of philosophy that, in the teaching of such men as Kant, Fichte, Hegel, Schelling, Comte, and Spencer, were openly or covertly in opposition to Christian belief. www.newadvent.org /cathen/01618a.htm   (5302 words)

Christian apologetics   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Apologetics doesn’t mean apologizing for what you believe, but providing rational arguments for your case. This is certainly not the case, although it may appear to the external observer that Christians are living shackled by a set of rules.

Essay: Christian Apologetics A fascinating case study of Christian apologetics may be found in the life of C.S. Lewis. These fragile "Christians" tend to become obscurant because they do not want to come into contact with any new scientific information that might cause their faith to unravel. Christian disciples should never hesitate to "make a defense," but they should always do so "with gentleness and reverence." And that is because the real place of apologetics is as a witnessing tool. www.hccentral.com /gkeys/apol.html   (974 words)

Christian Apologetics in the Postmodern World product price The article by Dennis Hollinger on the church as an apologetic (and in particular as the plausibility structure of the Christian worldview) was excellent. I believe this book does a fine job of introducing the thinking Christian to what postmodernism truly is (not the denial of "truth" per se, but the denial that claims to truth can be made from an objective standpoint) and why the Christian should be concerned about it. The central idea of his essay is that the church must maintain its claim of particularism, in opposition to the gospel of tolerance propounded by the postmoderns with their distaste for metanarratives. www.wi-fitechnology.com /Christian-Apologetics-in-the-Postmodern-World-price-083081860X.html   (1114 words)
