Apologetics—which comes from the Greek word meaning “defense” (apologia)—is the sub-discipline in 神学 and philosophy that helps Christians know and show the truth, 善, and beauty of Christianity. It involves answering objections raised against the reasonableness and desirability of Christianity as well as offering positive reasons for believing Christianity is true to the way the world is (i.e., reasonable) and true to the way the world ought to be (that is, desirable). This undergraduate degree in apologetics aims to equip students to know and show the truth, 善, and beauty of Christianity.

Our Apologetics Degree
While a few other schools offer an apologetics degree, ours is unique. PBA’s three full-time philosophy of religion professors in the School of Ministry are widely respected in the evangelical Christian philosophy and apologetics world, known for their ground-breaking books and essays in cultural apologetics, 自然神学, philosophy of religion, Christian philosophy, 和更多的.
给n the need to raise up thoughtful Christians and future Christian apologists to serve the church and bear witness to Jesus, and the depth of experience and expertise in apologetics by PBA’s faculty, we think this program will be a clear stand out over its competitors.
特别是, Dr. 保罗科潘 is a leading expert on Old Testament ethics and the argument for morality, Dr. 保罗米. 古尔德 is the recognized leader in an emerging area called “cultural apologetics,” and Dr. Brandon Rickabaugh is passionate about the intersection of apologetics, spiritual formation, and the nature of persons.
We think that the missional, 田园, and scholarly ethos of PBA’s Philosophy of Religion faculty sets us apart from all the competitors in the apologetics world.
