This unit examines the meaning of apologetics and assesses its place in the ministry of individuals and local churches within the contemporary context. It explores apologetic approaches to some classic issues, such as the existence of God, the problem of evil, the resurrection and the relationship between science and faith. It examines the role of dialogue in evangelism, conversation with other faith traditions and non-religious ideologies, the relationship between persuasion and the freedom to choose and the importance of ‘civility’. It asks whether apologetics is still relevant in a postmodern context and, if so, in what form.
