6 online apologetics resources

April 5, 2010 in Christian Living, for Churches, Outreach, Pastors

I’ve just returned from Katoomba Easter Convention. A wonderful weekend of fellowship and cracker Bible teaching. One preacher I was particularly looking forward to hearing was Dr John Lennox – Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University. The talks were brilliant (as were the talks by Stephen Um and Ray Galea) – they will soon be available online. John is a master apologist and gift to the church, science and the world. I’d like to share with you some online resources to access John’s material, as well as other apologists online.

  1. The website of John Lennox. Talks and resources, including ‘Who created the Creator?‘.
  2. Apologetics 315. A resource I frequently return to with recommended books, top 16 apologetics podcasts, quotes, and a basic logic primer.
  3. The God Delusion Debate. A debate between Richard Dawkins and John Lennox. Lennox is brilliant.
  4. Reasonable Faith. The site of apologist William Lane Craig – one of the best known apologists of our day. An interesting resource is Craig’s weekly ‘Q and A‘.
  5. The website of Lee Strobel. A friend of mine became a Christian after reading the Case for Faith. I read it recently and loved the style – Lee asks all those curly questions about Christianity that Christians often get asked, and documents the answers he receives. This site has links to Lee’s books, a large collection of videos, and a blog (that unfortunately hasn’t been updated since 2008) and newsletter.
  6. Centre for Public Christianity. A range of video and print resources on topics including Christianity, the arts, world religions and more. There’s also a selection of resources from John Lennox.

Have you discovered any helpful apologetics resources online?

    Hi Steve

    In addition to CPX, my favourites are:

    http://www.case.edu.au for more home-grown goodness

    http://www.damaris.org/media for interacting with culture (I suspect this is the more pressing need for Christians than the questions-of-faith side of things)

    http://www.bibledex.com/ for upping biblical literacy and hooking people into biblical scholarship

    UCCF’s resources at http://bethinking.org/

    Good links, mate.

    Case for Christ: “I recently read it and…” ?

  • Steven Kryger

    Not sure what happened to the end of that sentence! I’ve added it now!

  • Steven Kryger

    Great resources Arthur, thanks for sharing them. Apart from CASE, I hadn’t heard of any of the others before.

    No worries Steve… And if you need the *actual* links, I suppose they’re somewhere in your spam filter! :D

    I started up an AFES apologetics group in 2004, in the course of which I moved away from apologetics as an end in itself and began thinking in terms of angles on evangelism.

    I can’t speak highly enough of CPX and CASE — if I had posters on my walls, John Dickson and Greg Clarke would be there! ;)
