Course Description for Foundations of Apologetics and Outreach at Covenant Theological Seminary
This class endeavors to help students understand and exalt in the fact that God is the Great Evangelist and to appreciate that our task, all through our lives, is to co-operate with His reconciling all things to Himself through Christ. This class eschews faddishness and dependence on ‘technique’ and instead focuses on foundational principles of evangelism and apologetics from God’s Word. It also encourages the intentional building of meaningful relationships with all manner of other-than-Christians for the rest of our lives, starting now while taking this course.
