Research Assignment
Advance Apologetics – Minimum 45 Pages
RESEACH DESCRIPTION: This research should focus on a more comprehensive
consideration of the defense of Christian faith against intellectual unbelief. The nature of
apologetics and the formation and implementation of a consistently biblical apologetic
methodology. Troubling issues such as the relationship of faith and reason, the nature of biblical
inspiration, and the problem of evil, are confronted and resolved.
OBJECTIVES – RESEARCH 1 : Students will demonstrate appropriate competency
related to the following knowledge and skills: The student will be able to understand different
points of view of Apologetics that are taken by many in the sciences. The student will be able to
understand the history of evidences for the origin of life in the sciences and investigate some of
the evidences for intelligence and a Creator in creation. The student will be able to gain some
understanding of the science of archeology and the evidences and conclusions presented for
confirming or rejecting the Scriptures. The student will also become aware of the thinking and
attitude of younger generations and discuss ways to present evidences to these generations. All
of the above is to be accomplished by reading and summarizing books, journal articles and
videos of presentations that I have given at various churches.
COURSE OBJECTIVES – RESEARCH II: This research surveys the basic issues in
apologetics such as apologetic method, the biblical basis for apologetics, and the relationship
between faith and reason. Then it turns to consideration of various apologetic issues, including
the inerrancy of the Bible, the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the existence of God. Finally, the
student will be exposed to major worldviews extant today and will consider responses to modern
apologetic challenges to Christianity, such as postmodernism, and religious pluralism.
COURSE OBJECTIVES – RESEARCH III: Upon successful completion of this
research, the student will be able to: A. Relate the issues of the inerrancy and trustworthiness of
Scripture to apologetics. B. Defend the deity and resurrection of Jesus Christ against the claims
of skeptics. C. Defend the concept of absolute truth against the claims of epistemic relativists,
including postmodernists. D. Articulate the distinction between different apologetic methods. E.
Defend the exclusivity of Jesus Christ against pluralism and inclusivism. F. Discuss the nature of
the apologetic task and the biblical basis for apologetics. G. Appraise the arguments for the
existence of God through a critical response to challenges to Christian theism.
