Description

This course will examine the major approaches to Christian apologetics, trace lines of development for a constructive apologetic, explore strategies for creative persuasion, examine the power of artistic evocation of the gospel, engage major contemporary rivals to the Christian faith, develop the concept of "world views," introduce frameworks from which to evaluate competing systems and their claims, investigate the particular problems presented to Christian faith by contemporary popular culture, and present constructive avenues for presenting and evaluating Christian claims.
