Pauline Apologetics
Introduction to Pauline Apologetics. An outline of Session 1 of the 1999 TGF Conference on Pauline Apologetics. It discusses what constitutes apologetics and briefly outlines the different schools of apologetics which have been employed by Christian theologies. The apologetic method discussed in detail is the presuppositional method. Though presuppositionalism has been mainly used by those of a "covenantalist" persuasion, a consistent presuppositional (i.e. Biblical) approach must be used to defend the One Faith of Paul's gospelPauline Apologetics and Atheism. Session 5. This session from the 1999 TGF Conference on Pauline Apologetics discusses why "classical" apologetics (evidentialism) fails to challenge the unbeliever in his fundamental presuppositions. A typical evidentialist approach to debating atheists is critically examined to expose its weaknesses. It outlines how a correct presuppositional approach, on the other hand, reduces the "wisdom" of the unbeliever to foolishness.
