Are You Just Surfing the Web and Wondering What the Word "Apologetics" Means?
by Josh McDowell

"Apologetics," as defined in Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, is "a branch of theology devoted to the defense of the divine origin and authority of Christianity."

If you want to know more about apologetics, this is the place to be. You'll find proof that the Christian faith is based on fact, not fiction.

My interest in apologetics began back in college when I was challenged by  several students to examine the claims of Jesus Christ. After much study, I  could only come to one conclusion Jesus Christ is the Son of God, He was  crucified, He died, and He was resurrected on the third day.

Soon after this discovery, I accepted Jesus as my Savior and Lord. As one who had set out to prove Christianity false, I now found myself in the perfect  position to proclaim the Truth I had found. Over the past 39 years God has given  me many opportunities to speak at college campuses and churches. He has also led me to write many books on apologetics.

One of these books is More Than a Carpenter. In it I share the basic  truths of the Christian faith, as well as my own story of how I came to Christ.  Click here to order yours today.

You can also find several other useful books in the Apologetics Resource Center.
