Maelezo ya Kozi
This course introduces students to the theology, purpose, and practice of Christian apologetics in the modern world, with a focus on defending and commending the Christian faith from a Reformed perspective.
The course will cover the biblical basis for apologetics (1 Peter 3:15; Jude 3), classical and contemporary apologetic methods, and specific challenges facing Christianity today—such as atheism, Islam, moral relativism, science and faith conflicts, the problem of evil, and sexual ethics. Attention will also be given to African religious worldviews.
Students will learn how to engage both heart and mind—not simply winning arguments, but pointing people to the truth, beauty, and power of the gospel.
