Apologetics is a defense of Christian truth claims which is commanded in 1 Peter 3:15. This module will underscore the importance of training and preparing our students to adequately understand and effectively defend their faith. Several studies have presented a trend of "falling away from the faith" when Christian students attend college. When teenagers were asked, "Why did you fall away from the faith in which you were raised?" The most common answer was intellectual skepticism. Students who don't "fall away from the faith" tend not to meet challenges against their faith and remain silent in the face of confrontation because of lack of information about the evidence for Christianity. Solution: An increase in the number of Christian schools teaching Apologetics can counteract this trend. This course will highlight the need for, the purpose of, and the direction implement successfully an Apologetics class/program.
