1 COURSE SYLLABUS AP 601 Introduction to Christian Apologetics Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary South Hamilton Campus Fall Semester 2015 Mondays, 2:00 PM-5:00 PM Phone: Course Description This course is designed to be a basic introduction to the biblical, theological, historical, and philosophical foundations of Christian apologetics. Attention is given to the differences between Christian thought and select examples of non-christian thought. It explores some of the assorted challenges to Christian belief and provides a survey of resources for thinking about those concerns. It highlights the kind of Christian virtues that need to be cultivated in contemporary apologetics given the religious and philosophical diversity and volatile social dynamics that characterize our world. There is an emphasis on effectively and graciously employing the discipline as an aid to the holistic mission of the church. Required: Course Textbooks Taylor, James E. Introducing Apologetics: Cultivating Christian Commitment (Grand Rapids: Baker Academic, 2006). ISBN: $39.00 Guinness, Os.

ISBN: $22.00 Learning Outcomes The student who successfully completes this course should have the ability: 1. To demonstrate the plausibility of the Christian worldview that integrates biblical, theological, philosophical and historical truth. 2. To reason, weigh evidence, present and critique arguments for and against the Christian faith. 3. To engage in conversational apologetics. 4. To integrate apologetics in the context of the local church. 5. To minister with passion, humility, and Christian integrity while showing respect for the other in commending the faith.
