Justin Brierley- A Better Way To Do Apologetics…?
Manage episode 354934621 series 3405340
Apologetics. For some people, the word evokes in the imagination people having rich dialogue about the big questions of life, faith, church, philosophy, and many more topics pertaining to God, in a good natured dialogue of wrestling with honest questions. But for some, the word evokes in the imagination people having petty arguments about God’s existence, getting angry, not listening to those friends with sincere questions of faith, and having debates around secondary questions like how old the Earth is. So my question is this: is apologetics inherently bad? Are there ways of doing apologetics that avoid pettiness and getting into a ‘us vs them’ posture? We’ll be exploring this and a range of other things with Justin Brierley.
