Overview

Throughout the Christian Apologetics (Non-Thesis) MA program from the Liberty University you will study current challenges to the faith, such as atheism and the problem of evil, and develop logical arguments in response to these challenges. This degree equips you with the tools you need to serve as an apologist in your local church, on the mission field, or even through print as a Christian author. Partner with us, and become the Champion for Christ you always knew you could be.

Christian apologists must be able to defend the Bible with confidence and intelligence. Our master’s degree in Christian apologetics provides the in-depth training in apologetics you need to prepare for the challenges that will arise in ministry. Through an exploration of the Old and New Testaments, you will study complex and fascinating topics such as miracles, the history of interpretation, and the intersection between faith and reason.

Because our apologetics courses integrate a biblical worldview into the curriculum, you can be confident that your training is preparing you with sound doctrine. With a Christian apologetics degree, you can strengthen your faith and prepare to defend your beliefs in your career and your ministry.
