Apologetics Made Simple Charles Craig Lantz

This handbook on Christian Apologetics is intended to be put into the hands of those who are unfamiliar with the subject. Apologetics is derived from the Greek word apologia which means "speaking in defense." When discussing the subject of Apologetics Christians are not APOLOGIZING for their faith. Rather, Christians are called to give a defense for what they believe. I Peter 3:15-16 states, "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed" (NKJV). This book contains 3 essays for beginners and will explore the basic foundations of Apologetics. As Christians, it is imperative that we are prepared to be able to defend our faith rationally and intelligently to a post-Christian culture that is in need of intelligent answers for WHY Christians believe WHAT they believe. This handbook will provide the necessary tools to equip you to be able to know and defend your belief in GOD as the creator, the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the authenticity of the Scriptures, and will examine philosophically WHY it is more reasonable to believe than to be a skeptic.
