Truth Unleashed: An Apologetics Handbook

Apologetics, rightly understood, plays a vital role in the promulgation of the message of Jesus Christ. Indeed, this discipline provides the framework within which the gospel is presented and the context where repentance, faith, and godliness are nurtured.

This being the case, it is of course important that believers gain a more complete understanding of the meaning, methods, and goals of Christian apologetics. In order to accomplish this, however, there is much that must be considered, contemplated, and eventually inculcated in our lives. This does not require an "ivory tower" approach to Christianity, for all believers can, at some level, share the good news with their friends and neighbors. But the simplicity of the gospel should never be used as an excuse for intellectual stagnancy. While seeking to be the best witnesses we can right now, there should also be an effort to progress in knowledge and evangelistic adeptness.

Because of these factors, I have recently undertaken a project that will hopefully lead to the formulation of a type of apologetics handbook. Therein, a wide array of subjects and concerns will be addressed. To that end listed here are those portions of the "handbook" that are currently available.
