]]> Comment on Why I study apologetics by Daniel http://andygiessman.com/2011/12/14/why-i-study-apologetics/#comment-34 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 21:34:15 +0000 http://andygiessman.com/?p=41#comment-34 Great stuff Andy! Ironically, my pastor spoke on C. S. Lewis’ conversion last Sunday. Apologetics is so important because, as you noted, there are very good reasons to believe. Unbelievers are unimpressed when a Christian says that he or she is a believer but can give no reason for why he or she believes. Sadly, this gives the impression that Christianity is based on nothing but wishful thinking. This would be appalling to the Apostles, who relied on eyewitness testimony (Acts 2:32; 3:15), philosophical arguments (17:22-31), and appeals to the Old Testament (vv.1-3), to make their case for the truth of the Gospel. Even the entire Gospel of John could be considered an apologetic (John 20:30-31)! I have heard very good things about Biola’s apologetics program. I am sure you will be blessed by your time there.
