Apologetics Course
By Mark Brumley
Is the Bible trustworthy? Does God exist? If God does exist, how can we know He is good? How do we know Jesus really died and didn’t merely pass out? How do we know the disciples didn’t steal Jesus’ body and make up the whole story about Him resurrecting? IF YOU ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS, THEN THIS COURSE IS FOR YOU!
WHAT IS APOLOGETICS?
The word apologetics itself stems from the Greek word apologia, which means simply an answer given in reply. Put simply, it is the rational response against the objections people bring up about Christianity. So if you value having a reasoned response over a frustrated folding of arms and a refusal to engage, this apologetics course has something to offer you!

ABOUT THIS COURSE?
This course approaches apologetics as the branch of theology concerned with the rational grounds for the Catholic faith as well as responses to objections raised against it. The course will explore arguments concerning:
1.- The reasonableness of faith
2.- The existence and nature of God and his revelation
3.- Who Jesus is, why he matters, and the case for his death and resurrection
4.- The claims of the Catholic Church.
