Covenantal Apologetics
Course Description
The task of defending the faith is mandated in the Word of God. In light of that, this course will attempt to accomplish at least three things. First, it will provide a biblical and theological basis for apologetics. Second, this course will interact with philosophical concepts and ideas that are prevalent in apologetic conversations and study. Finally, one will learn rules of good and bad arguments. By the end of this course, a person should have some of the essential tools needed to develop a Christian approach to defending and commending the faith.
