To formulate biblical, thoughtful and culturally relevant responses to these objections. 6. To learn how to ask better questions as you discuss objections to the Christian faith. 7. To increase your skillfulness in the effective the use of apologetics in ministry. 8. To increase your personal confidence in your faith as you seek to persuade others to follow Christ.

Grand Rapids: Baker Academic, Course Requirements 1. Reading: You are to master the content of the assigned text chapters and articles. You may skim the readings if you are able by that method to master the basic arguments offered on all sides of each issue. (For example: Copan ends each chapter with a Summary. You may want to read this first, then go back and read any corresponding section in the chapter where you need, or would like, like more detail.) 2. Worksheets: You will complete six apologetic worksheets that will give you the opportunity to apply what you have learned in the readings. 2
3 3. Project: The purpose of this course is to help you become more effective in use of apologetics in the context of evangelism and follow up. During the course you will complete a final project. You have four options from which to choose: a) Evangelistic article: The article should be targeted to your ministry audience (college students, high school students, athletes). It should identify a specific objection to the Christian faith (e.g. problem of evil, religious pluralism, fate of the unevangelized, etc.) and present a carefully crafted and well-reasoned response. It is not a research paper. Your grade will be based on (1) evidence of a good understanding of the nature of the problem and how it challenges belief in Christian theism, (2) a well-reasoned response to this problem, and (3) proper packaging (targeted toward an audience, good introduction and conclusion). The article should be 5 to 8 pages in length. The article should be typed, doublespaced, using 12-point type. b) Follow-up Tool: Imagine you are sitting across the table from a believer attempting to give a reasoned response to an apologetic issue. This tool would help this person discover a scriptural viewpoint on an important apologetic question. Some apologetic issues (e.g. resurrection of Christ, fate of the unevangelized, Heaven and Hell, etc.) lend themselves more readily to this than others. It must include appropriate Scripture related to the issue, carefully chosen questions to aid discovery, logical progression of thought, and creative packaging. Your grade will be based on (1) evidence of a good understanding of the nature of the problem, (2) a well-reasoned scriptural response to this problem, and (3) creativity in packaging (captivating introduction, illustrations, several key points, and attractive visual layout). Note: if you wish, you may organize this tool in outline form. However it is organized, you must use only complete sentences (even for titles of main points). For ease of reading, it should be double-spaced, use type no smaller than 12-point and be at least three pages in length. There is no maximum length and you are encouraged to include diagrams, art work, photographs, cartoons, etc.. c) Evangelistic Talk: The talk should contain about 30 minutes of content (about 4-5 pages of notes) and must interact with one apologetic issue. The talk should be targeted to your audience (college students, high school students, athletes, etc). It must identify a specific objection to the Christian faith and present a carefully crafted and well-reasoned response. You will turn in a detailed outline (typed) of the talk. Detailed means a clear statement of every thought/idea you intend to communicate. Your introduction, conclusion, and illustrations must be word for word. Even your outline points should be expressed in complete sentences. Your grade will be based on (1) evidence of a good understanding of the nature of the problem you discuss and how it challenges belief in Christian theism, (2) a well-reasoned response to this problem, (3) creativity in presentation, and (4) proper elements of a good talk (captivating introduction, several key points, effective illustrations, and a conclusion). Your notes should be double-spaced and no smaller than 12-point type. 3
4 d) Dialogical Discussions: You are to practice a dialogical discussion of the type we ve been learning in this course with two individuals. The individuals cannot be people you know to be evangelical Christians, but you can choose any other person. They must agree to a 30-minute discussion of their personal religious or worldview beliefs. They must also agree for you to audio record your conversation with a cell phone or other audio recording device. (Please have them sign the release form available on the IBS website.) Since you will be audio taping the discussion, this must be a live conversation. You may do it by phone, Skype or other electronic means. However, text exchanges, even in real time, do not qualify. You will write out in advance a series of at least 10 questions and/or statements that you may use in the conversation (no upper limit on the number of questions). You should attempt to share the gospel, in some manner, unless the person makes clear that they are simply unwilling for you to do so. You will turn in your prepared questions for each appointment (you may use the same questions for both, if appropriate). You will also turn in a typed summary of both conversations, with the names of those you spoke to altered to protect their privacy. (Do not turn in the audio recordings.) Choose one of the conversations and in 1-2 pages (single spaced, 12 pt. type), evaluate the conversation. Your evaluation should include three parts: 1) a paragraph describing who the person is, their relation to you, if any, and any other information about them that is relevant to your critique; 2) how the conversation went and what you might have done differently, if you could do the conversation with that person over again; and 3) a plan for a second conversation with the person, if they were open to it (what would you ask, what would you share, what resources would you recommend Bible portions, books, articles, videos, etc.)? Reading Assignments: Due to the compressed nature of this course, you will need to have all of the readings and Apologetic Worksheets completed before the classroom sessions begin. J.
