This book was released on 2010-02-18 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many are expressing concern about the future of Christian youth today. What can we do to help ensure they will keep their evangelical faith once they graduate from high school? Can Christian apologetics provide an educational solution? Developing A Christian Apologetics Educational Program explores issues certain to be encountered by secondary school educators who want to teach apologetics as a distinct subject of study either as a part of a Christian institutional or home school curriculum. This book helps the apologist and educator blend their skills to soundly integrate the two subjects. A solution is sought by providing a background and rational for implementing an age-level appropriate apologetics course at this critical level of Christian education. This book is designed as a text to supplement those used in Christian education or applied apologetics courses; each chapter successively builds upon the other to help develop an educational philosophy that supports the inclusion of apologetics in the curriculum. A model is explained and materials are given to support the development of a curriculum in Christian Apologetics Education at the secondary level. Practical ideas are explored and a sample unit of instruction is supplied to help the educator develop an evangelical approach to education that is in the classical apologetic tradition.

Download or read book Cross Cultural Apologetics written by Wayne Detzler and published by . This book was released on 2011-11-06 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our increasing multicultural world, Christian missionaries struggle to give an answer concerning their faith: most are trained just to communicate the gospel across cultures. Likewise, many trained apologists never gain a hearing for their defense because of cultural differences and barriers they were never prepared to recognize or overcome. Wayne Detzler, a professor of missions and experienced missionary on three continents (Europe, Africa and Asia) for over 20 years along with Doug Potter an educator in Christian theology and apologetics for 10 years move these two needed areas, apologetics and cross-cultural communication, closer together by providing a theory and then apply it to adherents of various worldviews and their religious expressions. Interactive case studies provide a real world feel to this subject that is often left out of the classroom. This book is especially suited for Westerners who need help developing an answer for those they come in contact with from distant cultures.

Download or read book The Historical Development of Legal Apologetics written by William P. Broughton and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Historical Development of Legal Apologetics This book will indicate that legal apologetics has a history that is co-extensive with Christianity itself. It is unified by faith and reason and requires a fact-based defense that seeks probable judgment rather than absolute certainty but nevertheless would be conclusive in a court of law. It will provide a comparative examination of the legal model as a form of evidentialism and alternative models or "schools". There are many clear contrasts among apologetic approaches, for example evidentialism is definitely J.W.Montgomery's approach and presuppositionalism is definitely the approach of Cornelius Van Til. However this book is not only about the differences between evidentialism and presuppositionalism since there are other models to consider, each of which adopts a model different from both the evidentialist approach and the presuppositional approach. This work concludes with an assessment of how closely a Montgomery-type legal apologetic accords with the specific needs of the historical era in which it has emerged and ascended from the 1960's to the present. Apologetics is the response to the central claims that the faith faces from inside and outside the Christian religion. The resurrection of Jesus' is assaulted from many quarters. Furthermore large scale secularism and pluralism has resulted with the development of large scale multi-culturism in our society. Legal apologetics focuses squarely on proving the factual reality of Jesus resurrection and is an apologetic which is particularly well suited to our times with its emphasis on factual evidence.

Download or read book Education Does God have an opinion written by Israel Wayne and published by New Leaf Publishing Group. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the beginning of the 20th century, the vast majority of Christians have embraced the idea that it is a proper role and function of the civil government to control and guide the education of children. Most Christians believe God doesn’t care, one way or the other, how our children are schooled or what methods are employed. This book will use Scripture to prove otherwise. What you read in this book will radically challenge your assumptions and preconceived ideas. Discover the true purpose of an education and how this affects and influences studentsExplore a truly Biblical philosophy of education and how it compares to traditional schoolingLearn to apply a Biblical worldview strategically and systematically to core subjects of education There is almost no topic that is as relevant to the future of Christianity or as controversial as the education of children. Students in school classrooms spend thousands of hours being instructed by people who are not their parents. There is almost no way to calculate what a powerful force this is for influence. From rules to help students reason to information that will help you be a more effective teacher, this book shows the vital importance of “why” in asking students to learn the “what” and “how” of any subject. The future of your child’s education and, therefore, his or her life is ultimately in your hands as a parent. Open your mind and your heart to God’s Word and His truth. Much is at stake. Ask Him to give you discernment to help you understand how He sees the issue of education.
