Is ek voorbereid om my geloof te verdedig?
“People who do not know the Lord ask why in the world we waste our lives as missionaries. They forget they too are expending their lives and when the bubble has burst they will have nothing of eternal significance to show for the years they have wasted” (Nate Saint).
Is ek voorbereid om my geloof te verdedig?
Dr William Lane Craig (A Reasonable Response: Answers to Tough Questions on God, Christianity, and the Bible (Moody Publishers), is ‘n professor in filosofie en bekende Christelike apologeet (apologeet = verdediger van ‘n geloof). Hy glo dat die kerk dringend sy lidmate moet toerus om moeilike geloofsvrae te hanteer. Dit is veral nou nodig in ons kultuur wat dit maklike vir ateïste maak om die Christelike geloof aan te val – soms baie aggressief. Die Nuwe Ateïste beweging, aangemoedig deur die werk van Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris en Daniel Dennett, het die stigma van ateïs wees, verwyder.
