There is a growing clash in our society today between biblical Christianity and secular culture. These worldviews stand in opposition to one another. Many in our secular world system will be very vocal and forceful in their views. As such, many believers will step back and not want to make waves or do not respond due to a lack of confidence that they can provide a solid defense of the faith. And yet we read in Scripture as found in I Peter 3:15, “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.” Perhaps you already know you need help in this area. If so, we have some good news as a powerful tool has recently been published to equip you in defending the faith.
Joining Crosstalk to tell us about this new tool was Sarah Enterline. Sarah is an author, apologist, pastor’s wife, mother, teacher and women’s ministry leader. She has taught apologetics, biblical studies, philosophy, and history at both the secondary and college levels. She is the former president of the International Society of Women in Apologetics and is currently working as an apologist with the Library of Historical Apologetics. She currently has four books published, one we’re highlighting today that she has co-authored with Dr. Joseph Holden titled: A Visual Guide to Biblical Apologetics.
Apologetics comes from the Greek word: apologia. Sarah said it’s like a defense lawyer in an ancient courtroom presenting a defense, showing that their arguments are true. It can be applied to any discipline and in the case of biblical apologetics, it involves presenting a robust case, building evidence to show why the Bible and biblical Christianity are part of the one true faith.
What are some of the obstacles that may cause Christians to not defend their faith? What are the 5 ways to show that God exists? What evidence exists of things and people mentioned in the Bible? These are just some of the points discussed during this broadcast. However, there’s much more to take in, not only from this program, but from the fascinating book, A Visual Guide to Biblical Apologetics. Get your copy and pray how the Lord might use you to answer skeptics and build up the faith of fellow believers.
