Popular Christian Apologetics in the 20th Century

An Apologist is a person who defends someone or something. During the social and religious upheaval of the twentieth century, a group of popular writers living in England became Apologists for Christianity, and used a combined approach of intellect, matter-of-factness, and humour to promote their beliefs. In this course, we will look at selected writings from some Christian Apologists of the twentieth century, as well as their detractors, and we will discuss the need for Christian Apologetics in the twenty-first century, and the ways we define our own faith.
