How are you doing at answering God’s call to be ready to give a logical defense for the Christian faith?

1 Peter 3:15 says: “Always be ready to give a logical defense for the hope that is within you. But do it courteously and respectfully.” The Greek word for “logical defense” is apologia, which is where we get our term “apologetic.” It means to give a logical defense, a rational argument, or a reasoned explanation… Are you ready?

Biola’s Christian Apologetics program and Prepare the Way Ministries are partnering to host the fourth Worldview and Apologetics Conference to be held near Portland. Join us to become equipped in sharing your faith more confidently in an increasingly skeptical culture. Register Today!

Associate Professor of Christian Apologetics at Biola University. He holds a D.Min. from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School as well as an M.Div. and a B.A. in Philosophy.

Greg Koukl

A central theme of Greg’s speaking and writing is that Christianity — if it’s not properly understood and properly communicated — makes the most sense of the world as we find it. He has spoken on more than 70 colleges and university campuses both in the United States and abroad and has hosted his own call-in radio show for 27 years advocating “Christianity worth thinking about.” He’s debated many people and is an award-winning writer and best-seller author. Greg has written seven books, including The Story of Reality — How the World Began, How it Ends, Everything Important that Happens in Between; Tactics - A Game Plan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions and Relativism: Feet Firmly Planted in Mid-Air. Greg has been featured on Focus on the Family radio and has been interviewed for CBN and BBC. He’s been quoted in Christianity Today, the U.S. News & World Report and the L.A. Times. He received his Masters in Philosophy of Religion and Ethics at Talbot School of Theology, graduating with high honors, and his Masters in Christian Apologetics with honors from Simon Greenleaf University.
