Christian Apologetics is a helping ministry engaged in the defence of the Christian faith. The Bible instructs disciples of Jesus to offer a reasonable explanation for faith in Jesus as Lord, in whom the world’s hope rests. This course is designed to help students elucidate the truth and beauty of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, responding to the intellectual questions and heart longings of skeptics and seekers alike with gentleness and respect. In this class we will cover the following topics:

1. Biblical and Theological Basis of Christian Apologetics.

2. Cries of the Heart, Signals of Transcendence, and Pointers to Christ.

3. The Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Salvation of the World. 

4. Engaging in Conversations about Jesus Christ.

From apostolic Christianity Jose Philip was born in Kerala and grew up in Chennai, India. He graduated from Loyola College in 1992 and went on to complete his master’s degree in zoology from the same institute in 1994. He was the first student from Loyola to be awarded the Tamil Nadu State Science Council Scholarship for his master’s research in prawn biology. Jose worked as a prawn biologist in India before going to the Middle East to join a software firm in 2001. Jose became a follower of Jesus Christ when he was fourteen years old. However, it was only after moving to Dubai that he discovered nothing satisfied him more than “teaching and preaching the Word.” In 2005, he resigned from his position as Head of Operations and left to pursue his theological studies in Singapore. During his studies at the Singapore Bible College, 

Jose distinguished himself by becoming the first student in the history of the institution to have secured two master’s simultaneously. He completed both his master of divinity in Biblical studies and his master of theology from Singapore Bible College in May 2008. Jose is currently serving as an itinerant evangelist and apologist and is pursuing his ThM-PhD at Asbury Theological Seminary, Kentucky USA. He also lectures on apologetics, Christian ethics, and gospel and culture at Singapore Bible College, Baptist Theological Seminary, and Bible College Malaysia. Jose is married to Cinu who is a special educator by training, and they are blessed with two children, Jayden and Yaira.
