An Introduction to Apologetics
| My friend, not only are we to make Christ Lord of our lives, as Christians we should be able to give a ready defense for what we believe in. The Greek word used for 'give a defense' is apologia. This is where we get the word 'Apologetics', which is the branch of theology that deals with the Defense of the Gospel. |
It is used eight times in the New Testament:
Acts 22:1; 25:16; 1 Cor. 9:3; 2 Cor. 7:11; Phil. 1;7; 2 Tim. 4:16, and 1 Pet. 3:15.
But it is the last verse that is most commonly associated with Christian apologetics:
1 Peter 3:15 "....but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence" (NASB).

Oh my friend, there is so much evidence that supports the Bible!
The acronym that helps me identify the evidence of apologetics is: MAPS
We need to be equipped and ready to defend the Bible, ready to give an answer for the Hope we have in Jesus Christ. We need to study the Bible to know what it says. There are two well know authors in Apologetics: Josh McDowell and Lee Strobel.
Josh McDowell was an agnostic when he decided to prepare a paper in college that would examine the historical evidence of the Christian faith in order to disprove it. However, he converted to Christianity, after, as he says, he found evidence for it, not against it. Josh McDowell has written many books and is well known for his book 'Evidence Demands a Verdict'.
Lee Strobel was an award winning legal editor of the Chicago Tribune. He set out to prove the Bible was false as an atheist. After nearly two years of investigating the evidence of Jesus Christ, Lee Strobel accepted Jesus Christ into his heart. He has written several books such as 'Case for Christ', 'Case for Faith' and more.
These are wonderful books to read to help learn the evidence of our faith. We have also provided links to their websites in the right-hand column.
