Wednesday Bible Study

Basic Christian Apologetics

Do you want to become more effective at answering friends' questions about Christianity, better equipped to defend it from critics' claims, or strengthened in your own faith? Then join us for a study in apologetics. This fall, we'll be taking a Bible-based safari among the classic arguments for the Christian faith. After covering these essentials, we will examine the "hot" contemporary challenges to historic Christianity. Find out how the universe's beginning points to a Creator, why moral laws require a Lawgiver, and how history testifies to a Redeemer.

9/2/09 Introduction to Logic

During this first study we address the important questions: What exactly is Christian apologetics? Do logic and rationality have any place in religion? What constitutes a good argument? Is it possible to prove that God exists? What is a proof anyway?

Some helpful (short!) articles can be found here:

To develop these concepts, and lay the groundwork for the major classic apologetic arguments, we will first delve into an introduction to logic. More information will be posted when the writer [Brandon] gains proficiency with the web site editor.
