Do you want to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with non-believers? If clarifying misunderstandings about Christianity or responding to intellectual objections sounds like fun, then maybe you have a calling to study apologetics. Removing the obstacles that are in the way of someone seeing the truth of Scripture is something that apologists do regularly.

Liberty University’s Master of Arts (MA) in Christian Apologetics is a 100% online Christian ministry degree program. Our online Christian apologetics courses can provide you with the philosophical, historical, and biblical knowledge to defend the truth claims of Christianity. Through our Christian apologetics training, you can gain a more profound understanding of Scripture for personal ministry and strengthen your understanding of the Bible.

Your officially conferred degree name will be Master of Arts (MA) in Christian Apologetics (Non-Thesis).

Accreditation

ATS Accreditation

Christian apologists must be able to defend the Bible with confidence and intelligence. Liberty University’s master’s degree in Christian apologetics can give you in-depth training in the core areas of apologetics to prepare you for the challenges of ministry. Through an exploration of the Old and New Testaments, you can study complex and fascinating topics such as miracles, the history of interpretation, and the intersection between faith and reason.

One of the false accusations against becoming a Christian is that you must abandon reason and take a blind leap of faith. Your studies can train you in the use of logic in biblical apologetics and the nature of God, man, and the human mind. You can also learn to defend the resurrection of Jesus and the many miracles that are often denied by contemporary skeptics.

You can also gain a deep understanding of key issues in the Old Testament. You can study the history and archaeological developments in regard to the study of the Old Testament. Because our apologetics courses integrate a biblical worldview into the curriculum, you can be confident that your training is preparing you with sound doctrine. With an online Christian apologetics degree, you can strengthen your faith and prepare to defend your beliefs in your career and your ministry!
