PhD Apologetics and Culture

Apologetics and Culture

The Ph.D. in Apologetics and Culture exists to train scholars and ministry leaders in the understanding and practice of Christian apologetics within the contemporary social setting of the church.

It provides advanced study in defending the rationality of Christian faith from the full range of challenges facing it today. These include questions pertaining to evil and suffering in the world, the reality of miracles and Christ’s resurrection, God’s creation of the cosmos (and of humanity in his image), the integration of Christian faith with scientific discovery and practice, and the role of Christians in political and public life. Students will critically interact with a variety of perspectives on these challenges, seeking to rigorously develop and winsomely articulate positions which are biblically orthodox, theologically mature, and philosophically informed.
