What Will You Learn in Our Master of Theology (Th.M.) – Christian Apologetics?

When it comes to the Christian faith, there are many miracles to be explained by apologists for those with questions. C.S Lewis once said, “Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.” You will learn how to respond to the contemporary denial of those miracles, focusing on the resurrection of Jesus.

Another question often heard by ministers and apologists is, “If God is omnipotent, then why does he allow evil to exist?” You’ll take a course that allows you to explain evil in the world and the concept of hell. You’ll bring some sense of peace in those with unanswered questions.

In addition to these subjects, you will also investigate some of the current issues and trends in Christian Apologetics. You’ll even take courses on the relationship between apologetics and the Old and New Testament.
