An Introduction to and Defense of Apologetics

Abstract

Prof. Berg will define what apologetics is and examine how the apostles and prophets as well as the church fathers presented the truths of God to the people of their day. He will make the case that apologetics is really a ministry of caring. When a pastor understands the need that the lost have for someone to bring the gospel to them, he will be moved to engage them in discussion. And he will wisely distinguish between the use of reason in such discussions and the need for faith.
