Last Spring of 2021, I taught a class on Christian apologetics to juniors and seniors at Kingdom Preparatory Academy where my two sons attend here in Lubbock, Texas. The class went really well, and all of my students were a pleasure to teach and discuss Christianity with. I will continue to teach the class going forward every other spring, and I am looking forward to it.
But since I came up with notes and presentations for the class, I thought it would be a good idea to go ahead and use some of that material to make a YouTube video series going over the basics of Christian apologetics. I have many friends, family members, and students who have asked questions over the years about evidence for Christianity, and I thought it would be good to post these videos as a resource for people with similar questions.
I posted the first video today (Introduction to Apologetics), and I plan on releasing one video a week on Wednesdays until all the lessons we covered are released. Here is a tentative list of topics that I have planned:
- Introduction to Apologetics
- Biblical Basis for Apologetics
- Apologetic Method
- Truth and Knowing Reality
- Cosmological Arguments
- Kalam Cosmological Argument
- Design Arguments
- The Argument from Fine-Tuning
- Ethical Relativism vs Ethical Objectivism
- The Moral Argument
- Mind-Body Dualism
- Arguments for the Soul
- The Argument from Reason
- The Possibility of Miracles
- Historical Knowledge
- The New Testament Documents
- The New Testament Writers
- Jesus’ Self-Understanding
- The Synoptic Problem
- The Resurrection of Jesus
- The Modern Trilemma Argument
- Inspiration and Inerrancy of the Bible
- Religious Pluralism
- The Destiny of the Unevangelized
- The Problem of Evil
- Theodicies
- The Bible and Evil
- Faith and Reason
- Scientism
I hope you enjoy these videos as much as I enjoyed making them and discussing this material with my students.
