Defining Apologetics

We kick off our discussion of our next book Faith Has Its Reasons by Kenneth Boa & Robert M. Bowman Jr. with one of our favorite topics – definitions. In defining apologetics we focus on the the four main approaches the book covers and how they’ll be covered. By starting first with definitions we are able to best track the scope and depth of the topics covered. To use a sports-ball reference, definitions help us to know whether to put on pads to get hit in or cloves to field a small spherical object.

Join us on one our favorite books that we believe cover the history and different approaches to apologetics fairly and in very helpful detail.
