More DescriptionYou don't need a PhD in theology to defend your Christian beliefs. Nor do you need to be an intellectual like Josh McDowell or Ravi Zacharias. You just need common sense and a little knowledge of how Christianity has impacted the world for the better, despite prevailing assumptions that faith is the opposite of reason and that Christianity is guilty of all kinds of crimes, including religious intolerance today.Developed to help college students understand why Christianity makes sense, and how faith is not a blind leap in the dark but rests upon a bedrock of reason, this basic apologetic draws upon history, science and cultural studies.
