As some of you may know, I’ve long had a passion for online apologetics or defending the Christian faith.  Some Lutherans have expressed serious concerns about the apologetic task seeking to supplant the evangelical work of the Holy Spirit with human reason.  I would submit that, while there may very well be apologists who seek to do just that, constructing a Lutheran apologetic is both feasible and necessary in these pluralistic times.

To that end, I have created a proposal for a new, online training course in Lutheran Apologetics for the Guild.  You may download a PDF version of this proposal here.  As you can see, this is not the complete course, rather, it is a detailed explanation of the rationale for it, a defense of the Lutheran apologetic itself, and an outline of the structure of the proposed course.

I am looking for one (or more) volunteers to collaborate with me in fleshing out the details of this course and in actually conducting it for several sessions.  If you are interested, please email me at biddlej@lutheraneducators.com.
