Defend the Faith and Spread the Truth of the Gospel with Liberty’s Bachelor of Science in Bible – Apologetics Online Degree

Christianity and the Bible are under constant attack from all sides. These attacks are nothing new – since the time of Jesus, there have always been those who seek to undermine the Christian faith – but the war against Christianity has taken on new shapes and forms in the 21st century. By studying the branch of theology called apologetics, you can prepare to stand for the faith and provide logical, reasoned arguments in defense of Scripture.

If you want to help those around you grasp the validity of the Bible, it’s important that you dive deep into God’s Word and see firsthand what is written in the biblical texts. That’s why we designed our 100% online Bachelor of Science (BS) in Bible – Apologetics to help you gain an in-depth understanding of Scripture as well as practical methods for defending the Christian faith.

Through this online degree in apologetics, you may grow in your walk with Christ as you study how to show others the rationality of Christianity. The knowledge you can gain in this program can help you come alongside other believers struggling with doubt and non-believers who need help seeing the truth of the Gospel message. Our BS in Bible – online apologetics degree offers a solid foundation in Scripture and provides ample opportunity for you to study God’s Word directly. That way, you can be sure that your defense of the Christian faith is firmly rooted in biblical truth.

Partner with us and prepare to help those around you grow closer to Christ as you show them the validity of Scripture – all with an attitude of grace, love, and humility.

Your officially conferred degree name will be Bachelor of Science (BS) in Bible – Apologetics.
