Apologetics
6 weeks of The Call · Preaching & Christian Studies: What a Defense Is · Does God Exist? · Can You Trust the Book? · The Resurrection · The Hard Ones …
The weeks are the course’s own, read from the lab; the catalog pads the last weeks with the capstone and the floor so the course fills a whole term.

The squares are a picture of a course — how much of each core subject its own rooms carry, read from the rooms’ text — never a score of a student. Every course in a lab is graded to the core across the board; the squares say which columns it feeds most.
WHAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DO
- Your faith gets a trial every time somebody asks
- These arguments don’t get you to Jesus
- A defender who pretends there are zero difficulties loses the room the moment someone Googles
- Christianity uniquely stakes itself on a checkable historical claim

WK 1What a Defense IsAPOLOGETICS
Your faith gets a trial every time somebody asks. The question is whether the defense attorney showed up prepared.
WK 2Does God Exist?
These arguments don’t get you to Jesus. They make theism reasonable — and a defender who oversells is a defender who gets dismissed.
WK 3Can You Trust the Book?
A defender who pretends there are zero difficulties loses the room the moment someone Googles. Claim exactly what the evidence carries.
WK 4The Resurrection
Christianity uniquely stakes itself on a checkable historical claim. So check it — and be honest about where history ends and the whole person begins.
WK 5The Hard Ones
The philosophy classroom and the hospital room are different rooms. Answer the question you’re actually being asked.
WK 6The Practice — Conversation, Not Combat
The one who asks the questions steers the conversation, lowers the temperature, and honors the other person’s mind. The win condition is another conversation.
WK 7–9The capstone, then the floor
The capstone the track ends in, then the floor: the work is done in the room, logged in the room, kept in My Work.
THE PROJECT · WHAT THE QUARTER IS FOR
The capstone · Apologetics
The question. What does Apologetics ask you to be able to do by week 6?
The make. Every week's assignment and the quiz as practice: What a Defense Is · Does God Exist? · Can You Trust the Book? · The Resurrection …
The evidence. Handed in through Apologetics inside The Call · Preaching & Christian Studies, kept in My Work; the Report reads it from there.
A course is a quarter, a semester or a year — nine, eighteen or thirty-six weeks — a project a quarter. Offered as the year, a semester or a quarter, it is the same course seen through a window. A lab is a family: its year, each of its tracks as a course, and its rooms. The evidence is what a student hands in through the room; the Report reads it from there. Nothing in the catalog is a grade.
