Apologetics Introduction
The Unexpected Adventure
Mr. Lee Strobel

This talk was inspired by a book that Mark Mittelberg and Lee Strobel co-authored entitled: "The Unexpected Journey." If a Believer is: 1) Motivated 2) Available and 3) Prepared, they will be surprised at the unexpected opportunities for evangelism that God brings across their path throughout the day. The possibilities for spreading the Good News are endless!

Helping Friends Find the Reason for Hope
Mr. Mark Mittelberg
$1.99How should Christians respond to a culture where 1 in 3 of people under thirty describe their religious status as either atheistic, agnostic, or nothing in particular? We live in a world that is quickly losing hope in the reasonability of the Christian faith and it is imperative that Christians be equipped in apologetics in order to have a framework to answer the deepest questions of people's hearts. In this lecture, Mark Mittelberg proposes 20 lines of evidence from science, philosophy, history, etc. that help establish the rationality of the Christian faith and provide answers to difficult questions posed by skeptics both young and old.

Take a Tip from Lt. Columbo
Mr. Gregory Koukl
$1.99Koukl seeks to help his audience get from the content of apologetics to conversations with the people around them (most of this material comes from his book Tactics). He challenges his audience to reevaluate their expectations when it comes to evangelism (i.e. we are ambassadors for Christ, not necessarily "closers" of the deal). Subsequently, the tactics he encourages people to use in evangelistic conversations are not for the purpose of making a lot of converts. Instead, they are intended to "annoy" people in a good way - to make people think harder about the beliefs they have and challenge them with the gospel. He encourages people to develop a dynamic conversation with unbelievers by engaging them through questions and paying attention to every word people respond with.

Effective Apologetics in the Blogosphere
Dr. Michael W. Austin
$1.99Recent advances in technology afford people more distinctive and immediate access to mediums of communication. One such medium is blogging. So how can a believer use blogging for apologetic endeavors? In this lecture, Austin explores the unique challenges and opportunities that blogging provides to the believer as they seek to defend their faith. He thinks through questions such as: Why incorporate apologetic material into your blog? How should you respond to inflammatory comments? How can blogging develop you as a person/writer?

Bombs Away! Effectively Communicating Apologetics
Ms. Mary Jo Sharp
$1.99So maybe you know all the apologetic material you could possibly care to know, but can you communicate that material effectively? In this lecture, Sharp suggests several practical ways that an average person can use the material they know in a dynamic and engaging way. She argues that there are three ways in which a person can communicate apologetic material more effectively: 1) Clear content, 2) Body language, 3) Vocal tone.

The Apologetics of Happiness: Learning from Augustine, Aquinas, and C.S. Lewis
Dr. David Horner
$1.99One of the most useful tactics in apologetics is finding common ground with which to engage in conversation. Horner suggests that one of these avenues of commonality between all persons is the pursuit of happiness. In fact apologists of days gone by appealed to happiness as one of the most attractive things going for Christianity. In our current day and age, happiness seems like an improper motivation towards Christianity. Didn't Jesus say someone would have to take up their cross if they were going to follow him? However, what if happiness means something greater than an uplifted subjective feeling? Horner suggests the desire to be happy (i.e. human flourishing) is a dynamic avenue to the hearts of unbelievers.

Imagination in Service to Truth: Literature as a Mode of Apologetics
Dr. Holly Ordway

-
Knowledge in the Context of Spiritual Formation
Dr. Dallas Willard
$1.99We must not reduce "apologetics" to simply a "defense" or "case," exhorts Dallas Willard. "Doing apologetics" involves far more than defending Christian beliefs. It is about helping others (Christians or non-Christians) see how their beliefs about God and reality can be environed in knowledge. Specifically, it is helping people come to know about how the spiritual life works, how the interior or spiritual factors of your hope in Christ are significant for living. This encouraging, insightful and wise presentation is vision-casting for apologetics leadership and ministry.

New Atheists, Old Atheists and Old Apologists
Dr. Timothy McGrew
$1.99The arguments of contemporary atheists against Christianity are for the most part borrowed from atheists and freethinkers of centuries gone by. Those arguments were answered, sometimes brilliantly, by apologists and scholars whose work is now largely forgotten. The history of apologetics is more than a field for antiquarian study; it provides a rich array of arguments and insights of contemporary relevance.
