The Goals & Function Of Apologetics
Definitions are where we start but where we are shooting for the end is also important. So here we cover the goals & functions of apologetics so we know when we are off tract and what our final destination is. And we’ll be taking some camels – that will probably make more sense in the next video. Oh, and we also plug pretty much every book and episode we’ve ever done here – including this one Faith Has Its Reasons by Kenneth Boa & Robert M. Bowman Jr.

Faith Has Its Reasons is a study of four different models of how apologetics should be done, an assessment of their strengths and weaknesses, and a proposal for integrating the best insights of each. Kenneth Boa and Robert Bowman have assembled a wealth of information about what Christians believe and how to present that faith to an unbelieving world. Remarkable both in its depth of content and ease of accessibility, Faith Has Its Reasons gives Christian laypeople the tools to address such critical questions.
