Interviews in Apologetics

Joe Boot appears on Next Week with Jeff Durbin to discuss the message of the gospel and the role of the church in speaking to the public square.

What do we mean when we talk of Christian apologetics? How has the church historically practiced apologetics?

Everyone is religious and everyone has faith. Christian faith based on the Bible provides a fixed reference which helps us to map out and make sense of the reality of human life.

The person of Jesus confronts each of us. Will we repent and worship the divine One who came to us in human flesh?

Under analysis, non-Christian faiths quickly prove to be contradictory. All people are responsible to come to the truth in Christ.

Biblical faith and science are complimentary, as God's ordering and sustaining of all things provides the very foundations for scientific pursuit.

The Christian faith faces sin, evil and suffering head-on. An all-powerful, all-good God allows suffering for his glory and our good.
