Systematic Lectures on Christian Apologetics Charles Craig Lantz

Christian Apologetics is just that: 'Christian.' It is about defending the essential 'Christian beliefs' that both Jews and Gentiles have held dear and bet their lives upon--the revelation of God through Jesus Christ. In case you have not noticed, the faith is under attack. God is raising up believers to be equipped to give an answer intelligently for their faith. You see, the days have long been gone where you can tell your skeptical non-believing friends "the Bible tells me so." That's no longer sufficient to convince them to place their faith in a book that is ancient and challenges their lifestyles. Yes, my friend, those days are long gone. We are living in the post-Christian world where anything goes, and IF you're going to stand up for the TRUTH you better be able to speak intelligently OR you're going to get laughed out of the room. Now a word on apologetics. The word is from the Greek word "apologia" which means speaking in defense of. Have you ever been picked on as a kid in grade school and about to get the snot beat out of you, but your best friend stepped in and helped you beat their butts? That best friend that stepped to your aid so that you would not get disgraced and beat up is what apologetics is for the Christian. Christian Apologetics will come to your aid intellectually and will teach you how to defend our Lord and His Word! Too many Christians on college and university campuses are getting 'bloody noses' because they got into a battle with a non-believer who was able to pick apart their belief in God, Jesus, and the Bible. Secular humanists have become very good at debunking the belief in God and universities are full of professors that will pick on the Christians in the lecture class, make fun and humiliate Christians, and make them look like stupid idiots for believing in Jesus and the Bible. In light of this, Christian Apologetics is going to become your new 'best friend.' Apologetics is going to be the friend that shows up to assist you so that you don't get creamed by your opponent. As Christians, it is imperative that we are able to defend our faith and even expose the foolishness of the nonbeliever. This book will systematically deliver to you lectures on Christian Apologetics to equip you so that you can properly defend your belief in God.
