Overview
Are there good reasons to believe that Christianity is true? If so, what are they? Does having evidence for Christianity eliminate the need for faith?
In this course, Dr. J.P. Moreland will answer those questions and more as he introduces you to the field of Christian apologetics. He will help you understand a rational case for Christian belief and how to answer objections to that case.
The topics covered in this course include:
- What is Apologetics?
- Arguments for The Existence of God
- Why Believe Christianity?
