Apologetics Basics

My initial thoughts about learning Apologetics were a little intimidating because I thought the topic was for theologians. However, the lessons in this course were taught in an understandable way that allowed me to be confident in sharing with others.

This course has helped me revisit the fundamentals of Christian apologetics. The contents were very organized and easy to understand. Thank you very much!

The course is very good, prompting me to think about the issues discussed and better recognize topics for which I need to be prepared to addressed. It also caused me to see the relationship of God's purpose for life and how the Bible clearly guides us in defining that purpose. It highlighted that contemporary issues may seem more current than those the Bible speaks to, but that these contemporary issues are only more current variations on questions asked for eons, i.e., some stars are really galaxies, all matter is comprised of atoms and subatomic particles, that life begins and end ends and how we live between requires a search for purpose, that when life ends there is more.

I enjoyed this course! It was very informative and interesting! Thank you

Loved the course. I learned a lot. The lessons were interesting and held my attention.

This course was encouraging and enlightening. I feel much better prepared to give an answer to questions I may be asked.

I am so happy that I took this course. I realized how little I knew and loved learning and applying with the quizzes. I can't wait to start the next course!

Even at the basic level; I am learning "things" I should have already known. PTL!!!!!

I learned new information that will help me to defend my faith in Jesus.

They’re not too overly in depth. It still answered a lot of questions and made a person think. I think it is a great start to apologetics which I have studied before. It brought out concepts that I hadn’t seen before.

I really loved this course. It really stimulated my thinking as a recent Christian believer (4 years). All topics were covered clearly and helped me understand on a really deep level why I believe what I believe. I have facts and figures ready to defend the faith in a gentle, loving way to all Christians and unbelievers. I have made comprehensive notes and have saved the lectures for future reference. God bless ODBU in your ministry.  

As an introduction to apologetics, this course is digestible, yet reasonably comprehensive (it is not shallow at all). I strongly recommend it. I believe that some Christians hold tightly to their religion, but only in a superstitious way (as I surmise from one of my fellow-students' response when I raised a question in a forum). This may be helpful for one's private devotion to God, but not helpful at all for evangelism to others. I strongly recommend Christians to take this course to be equipped to give a better reason for the hope that is in them.  

I found parts of this course to be easy, and other parts challenged me to think deeper. In all, it was a very interesting course and I enjoyed it very much.

Fabulous, I can't wait to learn more! Thank you.

My faith was strengthened by the material from this course and I thank God that I took it.

A fascinating course, especially lesson 6 on cosmology. How can anyone deny the existence of God with such facts in mind? This course gave me considerable ability to engage in (polite) conversation with my nonbelieving associates.

Good basic introduction to apologetics. Succeeded in motivating me to further study .

I have been a Christian for many years but never read anything specifically on Christian apologetics. I appreciate that this course is clearly laid out, succinct but offering important points. It inspires me to want to learn more.

I wish I have taken this course earlier. It really help understand the world view of unbelievers. I can now effectively bring them to biblical view and share the hope I have in Christ Jesus.

I am satisfied with the materials presented and the different styles of reading and learning offered for the course, while it lasted.

I really enjoyed the courses it has helped me greatly

Truly an amazing course. Thank you for the opportunity to partake.

Thank you for making these facts available. Thank you also for the opportunity to really dissect many unclear facts that I needed to clear up. Wonderful course. Fantastic journey.

This was really quite good. The course is fairly short but has meaningful content. The journal entries asked good questions. Some of the quiz questions are recall and so a bit picky but not a big issue.

I prefer to listen to the instructor and follow along on the transcript….though the presenter spoke clearly I found he spoke a bit too fast.

I truly enjoyed the course, I did have trouble with the discussion questions in that they would not post. I lost quite a few to the cyber world. A nice lady on chat helped me and restored the POST option but, I am unsure if I need to redo or continue onward. I am looking forward to the next Courses.

I thought this was a good introduction to Apologetics. I am a beginner, and I found this course to be very accessible and not overwhelming. Thank you for the offering.

Now I have a better understanding of what Apologetics is and I have tools to work with along with other resources including taking other classes.

A very useful collection of lectures on some interesting subjects which has stimulated my desire, and awakended my need to progress further in the study of apologetics.

The course helps me to understand the types of questions that people may ask about my faith.  

My neutrality on recommendation is based my introvert personality. I think this course is very helpful and I will definitely recommend to some family or when topic of conversation relates.

The method of teaching in this course is very beneficial. Being able to hear and read the lecture to me is a very good teaching method.  

A wonderful course. A lot of my questions were answered.  

Very good. I enjoyed this introductory course. It put concepts in context well.

Good length, information, presentation, and test format.

Even though this is just the basics, it has provided meaningful material to assist in my growth to better be able to defend the Christian faith.

A great course that has given me much food for thought.

One of the best biblical courses I have ever taken. I will continue to use this platform, as long as I can. And continue to make monthly donations to ODB. As often as I can. Thank you!

I absolutely love this course, I can’t believe I didn’t know most of what was taught in this course. I cannot wait to start my next course, I am so pumped and excited. Thank you so much.

Very helpful for witnessing

The course content was interesting and provided some valuable information about the proof of the Bible and the history of its origin.

The course is very interesting and very detailed. I learned things that I never would have even questioned. But I have gotten questions from others and now I know how to answer.

This was a very good course that has stimulated my learning.

I have learned a lot of things not being taught in regular Sunday schools and Bible studies. I find excitement while doing the lessons. Thanks and more power to ODBU!

It was good.

This course was very informative.

Loved all of it, very refreshing and meaningful.

This course was clear and well presented, and helped me see the subjects addressed by apologetics and where I need further study.

The course content was great, but the teacher talk fast, maybe a slower pace would allow for more information to be absorbed!

An interesting couse for a high school student level. I have a BA in Religious Education and found the couse excellent as a refresher course. I would highly recommend it to a new believer.
