APOLOGETICS

The word "apologetics" comes from the Greek term "apologia," translated "answer" or "defense" (see 1 Peter 3:15).  You will find everything you need here to prepare you to defend the Christian faith.  Take a look through the resources below and decide what subjects interest you most.  Next to each item below is a code to let you know whether it is an article (A), podcast (P), or blog discussion (B).  If you have questions about anything, please send an e-mail to Ten Minas President Ken Coughlan and he would be glad to help.
