Existance of God

1 Peter 3:15 “but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,”

What is apologetics?

Greek word

ἀπολογία (a·puh·low·jee·uh)

Apologia

1. defense (legal) — the speech act of attempting to prove some act or belief to be reasonable, necessary, or right; especially occurring in a court of law.

2. defense (content)† — a statement (either spoken or written) that is made to reply to an accusation; especially in a court of law.

What is Christian apologetics?

I believe there are two coherent definitions for apologetics:

Center for Public Christianity director Joshua Chatraw and executive director of the Center for Apologetics at Liberty University Mark Allen have this practical view in mind as they define apologetics:

“The practice of offering an appeal and a defense for the Christian faith.”

This definition highlights both the positive (or offensive) aspect of apologetics and the negative (or defensive) aspect of apologetics.

-The appeal refers to giving positive reasons to believe that Christianity is true (e.g., evidence for God’s existence or the historicity of Jesus’s resurrection).

- The defense refers to explaining how a person can reasonably believe Christian truth claims despite challenges raised up against them (e.g., the problem of evil or the idea that Jesus was merely a mythological figure).
