ApologeticsThe term apologetics comes from the Classical Greek word apologia, which means to give an explanation or defense.
Christian apologetics is a rational, thoughtful defense of the theological tenets of Christianity.
![Page 35: Thank you for coming! Rev 01-2013. “… trains Christian, homeschooled youth in speech and debate, in order to better communicate a biblical worldview.”](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e4c5503460f94b42018/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The event• Unique to Christian Homeschooling
• Total of 145 questions
• Six Categories • Existence of God
• Authority of Scripture
• Person of Christ
• Destiny and Purpose of Man
• Salvation or How to Know God
• Christianity Compared
• Prepared Card File Box
![Page 36: Thank you for coming! Rev 01-2013. “… trains Christian, homeschooled youth in speech and debate, in order to better communicate a biblical worldview.”](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e4c5503460f94b42018/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
The Purpose• The purpose of Apologetics is to train
students to study and defend the core issues of their faith and be prepared to defend what they believe.
• In your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect. 1 Peter 3:15 (English Standard Version)
• Apologetics does not equal Evangelism. They compliment each other but they are not synonymous.
![Page 37: Thank you for coming! Rev 01-2013. “… trains Christian, homeschooled youth in speech and debate, in order to better communicate a biblical worldview.”](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e4c5503460f94b42018/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The DefinitionsApologetics:Systematic argumentative discourse in defense
(as of a doctrine) : a branch of theology devoted to the defense of the divine origin and authority of Christianity.
(Merriam-Webster.com)
Evangelism: Zealous preaching and advocacy of the gospel. (Wordnet.com)
![Page 38: Thank you for coming! Rev 01-2013. “… trains Christian, homeschooled youth in speech and debate, in order to better communicate a biblical worldview.”](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e4c5503460f94b42018/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The GoalApologetics is a thoughtful, intellectual,
analysis of a question of faith or doctrine.
It is not necessarily a presentation of the gospel or an overt evangelistic opportunity.
The end goal is for students to understand the rational basis for their faith and to be able to defend and communicate theological truth to others.
![Page 39: Thank you for coming! Rev 01-2013. “… trains Christian, homeschooled youth in speech and debate, in order to better communicate a biblical worldview.”](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e4c5503460f94b42018/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
The Competition• Students enter the room and receive
three topics.
• They have four minutes to prepare a six minute speech on one of the topics.
• During their prep time they may use their Bible and/or the card file they have prepared ahead of time.
• During their speech they may use as many cards as they need.
![Page 40: Thank you for coming! Rev 01-2013. “… trains Christian, homeschooled youth in speech and debate, in order to better communicate a biblical worldview.”](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e4c5503460f94b42018/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
The AudienceRules state:
Judges should be sympathetic to the ideals of Stoa but…
“The question or topic should be approached from an apologetic perspective and the speaker should craft his/her response as if the audience is not sympathetic to the message being presented.”
![Page 41: Thank you for coming! Rev 01-2013. “… trains Christian, homeschooled youth in speech and debate, in order to better communicate a biblical worldview.”](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e4c5503460f94b42018/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
This Means…The student should…
• Explain ideas without “Christian jargon.” Use common words.
• Provide a rational and researched defense of truth.
• Not assume the audience agrees with them.
• Instead assume the audience is genuinely curious about the issue or question. Don’t minimize the issue.
![Page 42: Thank you for coming! Rev 01-2013. “… trains Christian, homeschooled youth in speech and debate, in order to better communicate a biblical worldview.”](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e4c5503460f94b42018/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
The CriteriaContent trumps delivery. Apologetics is a unique event.
Content is the essence. Delivery is peripheral. The student should:
• Use Scripture –God’s Word is the foundation for all that we believe. It is powerful!
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 (New International Version, ©2011)
• Use outside sources to back up claims.
• Have a humble and winsome spirit.
• Answer the question! Have intellectual integrity.
![Page 43: Thank you for coming! Rev 01-2013. “… trains Christian, homeschooled youth in speech and debate, in order to better communicate a biblical worldview.”](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110402/56649e4c5503460f94b42018/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Finally…
Give the student helpful critique.
This is a life skill with an eternal purpose.
Thank you so much for investing your time in these students!
