Persuasion – the Centre Piece of Effective Evangelism
Evangelism without persuasion won't convince anybody - how can we put this vital ingredient back where it belongs?
Our resources seek to show why Christians believe that Christianity is true and worth believing. The shorthand term for that is 'apologetics'. It's what Simon Peter was writing about when he wrote: "Always be ready to make your defence to anyone who demands from you an account of the hope that is in you" (1 Peter 3:15, NRSV). Defending the truth of Christian beliefs against objections is important, as is the ability to communicate that truth effectively and attractively. Explore what apologetics is, why it is Biblical and how to engage with it effectively.
