Theotivity: Theology + Creativity recently interviewed Institute founder Steven R. Martins on their podcast. Listen to their conversation on a distinctly Christian view of philosophy and apologetics.
What is Apologetics? Far from what many perceive it as, it is not a discipline constrained to the evidential, factual, and historical, it extends well beyond that, proving to be all-encompassing in its scope.
What is apologetics? Whether you’re familiar with the term, somewhat acquainted with it, or altogether in the dark, apologetics is necessary to learn about and to continually review because of how vital it is to our Christian witness and living.
Joseph Boot’s “The Mission of God” is arguably one of the greatest philosophical-theological commentaries on public culture in the present century, and when unfair critiques are levelled against it, it is only fair to respond with the grace and truth of biblical wisdom.
How are we to understand Paul’s message at the Areopagus? What was his message to a religiously plural culture and how does his message relate to us today?
Some Christian authors attempt to deduce that the Flood account was an exaggeration, and that it was only an isolated flood that affected the valley of Mesopotamia. We have it quite clear, however, that the biblical text does not permit such suspicions.
A skeptic happens to ask you about the veracity of the account of the global deluge and the Ark of Noah, when all you want to do is just share the gospel. How would you respond?
Behind all the trees, the lights, and the carols, there lies the reason for the season, what should be at the forefront: the birth of our Lord Jesus.
Apologetics is very useful, however, there exists the temptation to elevate our flesh and present ourselves as the wise sages of our age. Such pride blinds us to biblical truths.
It is only by adopting the same presuppositions of Scripture that we can make sense of what we see in the world, and that means, also, affirming that what we expect to see in terms of a young earth.
