Apologia

What is Apologetics?

"...sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and be ready always to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason of the hope in you, with meekness and fear..." (1st Peter 3:15).

The term "apologetics" comes from the Greek "apologia" and refers to a courtroom defense. Thus, Christian apologetics is not apologizing for, but a defense of, the Christian faith.

Below we present some succinct thoughts on apologetics and provide links to free online videos, audio, ministries and many wonderful books.

Is Doctrine Relevant?

The term and concept of "doctrine" comes from the Hebrew word "Sh'muah" which means "heard" or "announced," the Greek word "didache" which means "teaching," or "instruction" and the Latin word "doctrina," from "doceo," which means "to teach." Hence, the term doctrine meaning that which is taught, that which is instructed.

But what is a doctrine? It is generally a formulaic description of a biblical teaching. For example, "the doctrine of the Trinity" succinctly defines what the Bible teaches about God's nature. What is interesting about doctrinal formulations is that they are supposed to be just what they are formulaic and succinct. And, yet the problem that one runs into is that, for instance, someone might say that the Bible does not teach that God is a triune being and ask about the Trinity to which we may respond, "God is one in essence, or nature, but three in person," or "One what and three whos," or "God is one being that is made up of three persons who are co-equal, co-eternal and co-distinct." The skeptic may respond stating, "That's not in the Bible." The problem is that they are asking you to point them to a text of the Bible where they can find the formulation but there is none because by definition the doctrine is a formulaic and succinct form of that which is found in the Bible. The doctrine of the Trinity is in the Bible but the formulation is not, which is the very reason that the formula was derived in the first place. Yet, once we look at the actual words of the Bible and everything that it has to say about God's nature, we can look again at the doctrine and find that it was an accurate and succinct formula.

Therefore, doctrine is relevant and important since it defines what the Bible is telling us since the Bible does not necessarily state, "Ok now you are going to learn about the Trinity," rather the information is dispersed throughout (which is actually the best way to secure information retention-if you had one Bible on a desert island and part of it was damaged beyond use, you would not loose any essential information that could not be discerned from elsewhere within its pages).

Take for instance a creed, or formulaic-succinct form of doctrines, Roman Catholics, Protestants, and the Eastern Church all agree on the Nicene Creed, this covers the overwhelming majority of Christendom. The topic of doctrine also brings us to theology.

Theology

The term "ology" denotes "the study of" thus, archaeology, sociology, anthropology, etc.

In Christianity we generally deal with the following "ologies":

Theology - the study of God.

Angelology - the study of angels.

Soteriology - the study of salvation.

Pneumatology - the study of the Holy Spirit.

Christology - the study of Jesus the Christ.

Eschatology - the study of the end times, or end days, or last days-the eschaton.

Bibliology - the study of the Bible.

Anthropology - the study of man kind.

Ecclesiology - the study of the church.

On Disagreements, Naming Names and Judging

Apologists, those who engage in apologetics, are sometimes besmirched as being divisive. In reality an apologist tends to speak up in order to point out where division has already occurred. There are two main ways in which to deal with a problem: One was is to identify the problem, to deal with the problem and to invest time and energy into solving the problem and ensuring that it will not occur again.

Another way is to find the person who point out the problem and get them to shut up, if they stop pointing out the problem then we can pretend that the problem does not exist. Sometimes apologists are told to be quiet and stop causing problems when they are really just pointing them out. In a manner of speaking, this forces the apologist to engage in disagreements and in naming names which, again, is often labeled divisive and unloving, unforgiving, etc. For example, if someone claims that the Bible teaches that there is more than one God (as Mormonism does) the apologist must state that they are incorrect since the Bible clearly teaches monotheism.

If, for example, Benny Hinn states that the Holy Spirit is showing him revelation about future events and these things do not come to pass it is our responsibility to name him by name and rightly label him a false prophet. Clearly, it was Hinn's own actions and words that necessitated the label of false prophet. Moreover, there is biblical precedent for naming names, "Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them" (Romans 16:17). "And their messages will spread like cancer. Hymenaus and Philetus are of this sort" (2nd Timothy 2:17). "Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm. May the Lord repay him according to his works" (2nd Timothy 4:14).

This brings us to the issue of passing judgment. Just who is the apologist to pass judgment? After all doesn't the Bible teach us that we cannot judge anyone about anything-"judge not..."? This is actually a very common misconception.

The Bible teaches us to not judge someone's intentions, since we cannot know the inner workings of their minds and heart but does teach us to judge righteously. Also, if someone accuses you of being judgmental they have just made two judgments: one, they just judged you of being judgmental and two, they judged judgmentalism as being wrong.

Study Tools

Commentary: A commentary is meant to help us understand what the Bible is telling us and generally includes information such as historical backgrounds, the meanings of root words, doctrinal content, etc. Commentaries come in various forms-some are various volumes and some are compact and cover the whole Bible in one book. Some commentaries are based on liberal scholarship and some on conservative. Some, such as those written by cult groups have one purpose in mind-to read the cults particular, and peculiar beliefs into the text of scripture rather than allowing the scripture to speak its own mind.
Dictionary: Bible dictionaries can be very useful in that they will define words and concepts often offering all sorts of background information, more than just "this word means this and that one means that."
Lexicon: A lexicon is basically a dictionary plus. Lexicons are etymological and deal with word meanings, root words, tenses, forms, and all kinds of information about words, their origins and their uses. Keep in mind that words change meanings sometimes, such as the word "suffer" which used to mean "to allow" but now means something to the likes of "to experience unpleasantness."
Concordance: A concordance lists every word in the Bible and where the word is found within the text. It is useful to keep in mind that, for example, the Bible has been translated into various forms of English-old English, modern English, formal translations and dynamic translations. Thus, what it a sword with two edges called? A dual edge sword? A double edge? A two edged sword? The answer is yes and so keep this in mind when using a concordance, you may have to look under "dual, double" or "two."
Study Aids: There are various study aids commentaries, dictionaries, lexicons and concordances are some of them. Some study aids are specifically geared towards one of the Bible's books, other to specific subjects.

Bible's Reliability

Simply stated, one aspect of apologetics is determining whether the Bible is a reliable document. In a manner of speaking, researching whether the Bible is a reliable document does not have anything to do with what we may think about what the Bible is or is not. In other words, in determining if the Bible has been recorded reliably, and passed on reliably, it does not matter whether or not we believe it to be inspired or not since it is an exercise in good old fashion scholarship and or bibliography. For some people learning of the Bible's accurate transition may solidify their belief in its status as being inspired.
This issue generally breaks down into the following questions (questions that are asked of any text of antiquity):

1-Was the event reliably recorded in the first place?

2-Are there other texts that cover the same events?

3-How do the various accounts compare?

4-How much time elapsed from the time of the event to the time of the reporting of the event?

5-How much time elapsed from the time of the reporting of the event to the earliest manuscript of the text?

6-How many manuscripts do we have of the particular text?

7-How do the manuscripts compare with each other?

Hermeneutics

Hermenwhat? Remember Herman Munster? Well, this has nothing to do with him.

Hermeneutics is a system by which we apply appropriate methods of interpretation in order to ascertain the correct understanding of a text.

For instance do we read a text with a preconceived notion in mind? Do we read it in order to simply ascertain what the text is telling us? Do we seek to symbolize the text and concoct our own ideas of what the text might mean? Do we contemporize the meaning of the text? Etc., etc.

Featured Christian Musician

Let us begin with a few notes regarding "Christian Music"-what is it and how is it categorized (in the secular, the non-Christian specialty, stores).
Succinctly stated Christian music involves praise and worship. Praise means that we are praising, thanking, God for various reasons; it means that we sing about what God has done, is doing, and will do for and with us. Worship means that we are singing right to God; it means that we are communicating to Him expressing the awe we feel in honoring Him, in exalting His holy name. There is also some pretty generic Christian music, meaning that the lyrics are so generalized that they could be songs about God, about a tree, about a puppy or about anything for that matter. It is up to the individual to decide what a song's message is and whether it is doing anything of us.
When you walk into a secular music store you will find the following categories: "Rock," "Pop," "Rap," "Classical," "Jazz," "Christian," etc. Do you notice something odd? The music is categorized according to musical style but Christian music is categorized according to lyrical content. Understand that Christian music comes in all musical styles. Also, all non-Christian musical styles have very varied lyrical content. Why isn't Christian music categorized according to musical style like all the others. Or, why isn't all music categorized according to lyrical content, such as "Christian," "Songs about getting drunk," "Songs about fornication," "Songs about violence," etc. Apparently, if Christian music was categorized according to musical style some one who, for example, likes rock music might accidentally buy an rock album that contains lyrics about love, repentance and forgiveness and not about drugs, drunkenness and fornication-and we just could not have any of that sort of confusion could we!?!?

Nichole Nordeman: Nichole's lyrics are at once simple and profound. "How can I approach deity with informality and still protect the sacred."
Apologetix: "Apologetix" is the name of a Christian parody band. They play cover tunes of popular songs but they rewrite the lyrics to give them a Christian theme. They cover a wide ranne of musical styles from Carlos Santana to Metallica, from Pink Floyd to Cool and the Gang, from Kid Rock to La Bamba, etc.
