WHY APOLOGETICS?

In New Testament times, an apology wasn’t about saying “I’m
sorry,” but referred to a well-reasoned reply that provided
compelling evidence.

The word apologetics comes from the Greek term ἀπολογία
(apologia), meaning a reasoned defense.

In 1 Peter 3:15, Christians are encouraged to be “prepared to
make a defense” (apologia) for the hope we have, sharing our faith
with gentleness and respect (ESV).

This Greek word, in various forms, is also found in Acts 22:1,
Acts 25:16, 1 Corinthians 9:3, 2 Corinthians 7:11, Philippians
1:7, Philippians 1:16, and 2 Timothy 4:16.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT APOLOGETICS FOR THE CHURCH

“I just wanted to let you know that I got some excited feedback after the introductory video lesson yesterday. Several people are ready to learn how to confidently share with others about their faith!”

Jesse Hoffman, Coventry Church of the Brethren, Pottstown, PA

“I wanted to let you know that your beach ball illustration about suppressing the truth from Romans 1 was useful to my sermon yesterday, and many people commented on its helpfulness! Thanks again for being a faithful, steadfast witness for the one unchanging gospel.”

Adam Swift, Pastor, Grace Church Willow Valley, PA

“Your Everyone Worships site is a wonderful ministry and evangelistic tool, and so please keep it going! I was able to send it to my daughter who is building a relationship with an unbeliever. I am excited to wear my Everyone Worships T-shirt and see what comes from it!”

Bruce B., Gap, PA

“My wife and I have learned so much from your book, Every Believer Confident, that is helping us with evangelism on the college campuses where we minister. Our outreach and discipleship has been strengthened by the principles you teach.”

Vinh Hoang, Tampa, FL

“I have continued to hear great feedback from your teaching. Many people were encouraged by your sermon Sunday morning and just your pastoral, caring approach to evangelism and apologetics. One lady shared that at work this week she encountered an agnostic. She practiced your method and just kept asking questions. She was brushing up on these questions to continue the conversation the next day. She said, ‘With these tools, I am now actually excited to go into this conversation about Jesus with her!’”

Ethan Swartz, Pastor, Church of the Living Christ, Loysville, PA

“I am from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I wanted to thank you for writing Every Confident Believer. I grew up in an evangelical Pentecostal environment and it was through a group of brothers that I began to have an understanding of the presuppositional method of apologetics. However, there is a small problem. I don’t know how to speak English (if I write to you now I do it through a Google translator). There are few books in Spanish on presuppositionalism. The one you wrote and which was translated by EBI is the first one I have read so that is why I want to express my gratitude. ”

Miguel Torramorell, Buenos Aires, Argentina
