The Essence of Christian Apologetics

Thanks to Brian Auten of Apologetics 315 for podcasting these excellent talks on Christian apologetics by Os Guiness.

Dr. Guinness is a Christian writer, lecturer and social scientist. He is a co-founder and senior fellow at the Trinity Forum, a non-profit organization devoted to leadership transformation through the context of Christian faith, and is deeply interested in guiding leaders and influencing public policy. His books include Fit Bodies, Fat Minds, The Call and The Gravedigger File.

Dr Os Guinness presents a four part introduction to the essence of apologetics.

In Part 1, Dr Guinness considers reasons that some people are wary of apologetics and highlights some of the limitations that can apply to apologetics. As we listen, it is worth considering to what extent these criticisms and limitations of apologetics apply to our own application of it.

In Part 2 of this series, Dr Guinness considers whether there is a Biblical basis for apologetics, from both Old and New Testaments.
