Dialogue and Christian Apologetics: A Biblical-Theological Overview

Apologetics, bellatorchristi.com, Christianity, dialogue, Evangelism Categories: Theology and Christian Apologetics, Gospel, Leo Percer, Practical Apologetics, Theology and Christian Apologetics

Christian apologetics is often understood as the task of defending the faith—giving reasons why believing in Christ is rational, true, and worthy of commitment. Scripture itself urges believers to be “ready to give an answer” for the hope that is in them (1 Pet. 3:15). Yet the Bible presents this defense not merely as the delivery of arguments, but as something that takes place within dialogue: real conversations with real people. A biblical-theological view shows that dialogue is not a compromise of apologetics, but one of its essential forms. The Pattern From the start, God’s revelation to humanity unfolds in a dialogical way. God speaks, humans respond; God questions, humans answer; God rebukes, invites, and restores. This pattern reaches its fullness in Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh. Jesus rarely preached…

Have you noticed that the world has collectively lost its mind? Between the push to “decolonize” education and the rise of mandatory DEI training, the landscape of the American university has shifted from a place of open inquiry to a battlefield of competing ideologies. What’s behind the madness? Frank catches up with Arizona State University philosophy professor, Dr. Owen Anderson, to get an update on his high-stakes hearing with the Arizona Supreme Court. Owen shares his unique perspective on how cultural Marxism continues to silence free speech, logic, and the Christian worldview in many public universities–and why he’s not backing down despite the consequences. Together, Frank and Owen answer questions like: Why did Owen make the decision to engage in a legal battle when most people would just follow…

Some Definitional Drawbacks In Atheism

2. Does God Exist?, agnosticism, Apologetics, Atheism, Christianity, Gospel, intelligentchristianfaith.com, John Ferrer, Philosophical Theology, skepticism, theism, What is Atheism? Definitions

In a previous article I wrote about how “atheism” is best understood as a belief that there is no God. Those who prefer to describe themselves as merely “lacking God-belief” would do better to describe themselves as “negative atheists” as that is the more precise term. As a postlude to that article, I think it’s important to state why this stuff matters. I’m not confident that that this definitional minutia matters a lot. It matters. But it’s not of ultimate importance. Far more important things deserve discussion. Nevertheless, this stuff matters enough to deserve at least a little observation here. Here are some reasons why I think this stuff matters. First, Negative Atheism Comports With God’s existence Perhaps the biggest most glaring problem with the “new” (negative/soft/weak) atheism is that it’s compatible…

Angels, Demons, and Aliens: What’s the Evidence? with Billy Hallowell

aliens, Angels and Demons, Billy Hallowell, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, demonic possession, Dr. Frank Turek, miraculous healings, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, supernatural evidence, theology, UFOs

If the supernatural world of angels and demons described in the Bible is real, what tangible evidence exists for it today? And where do aliens and UFOs fit into the biblical worldview? Frank sits down with journalist, author, and digital TV host, Billy Hallowell, to discuss his new documentary film, Investigating the Supernatural: Angels and Demons. From demonic possession to miraculous healings and unexplained encounters, Billy shares what he’s uncovered, and how to separate what’s real from what isn’t. Tune in as Frank and Billy answer questions like: What led Billy to investigate angels and demons? Why is it healthy (and necessary) to be skeptical of supernatural stories? Is eyewitness testimony sufficient evidence for supernatural (and alien) encounters? What is Paul talking about in Ephesians 6:10? What’s the difference between…
