Could you demonstrate that Jesus was the Christ from the Old Testament alone? The first Christians did.
If someone said that the Da Vinci Code proves Jesus was just a man and the Church just a pack of liars, would you know how to respond?
If a Jehovah Witness argued with you about what the Greek text ‘really says’ would you know where to start?
If an atheist asserted that Christianity is just a borrowed myth, stealing from Mithra and Osiris, could you stand up to him?
Are you afraid to talk about your reasons for being a Christian because there are so many questions you know you don’t have the answers to?
Maybe it is time to change that. Maybe we can help.
Indeed, the Athanatos Online Academy of Apologetics can help:
Interactive courses are courses that are facilitated by a staff member of Athanatos Christian Ministries and invite interaction with other participants. Self-directed courses are constructed by staff but designed for participants to work through the material on their own.
This year, the Academy has a very special guest:
Guest Lecturer for the Fall 2011 Session: Dr. Gary Habermas. Using the academy’s virtual conferencing software, Dr. Habermas will present two 90 minute lectures with Q+A in the first week of November. Topics: The positive evidence for the Jesus of History and Christianity and the Resurrection. ALL session students can attend, regardless of what courses they are taking!
