Perhaps you have reached that point in your self-guided study where you realize it’s time for you to go to the next level in your preparation to defend the faith. Whether you’re considering an M.A., M.Div., D.Min., or one of our many for-credit certificates, SES provides some of the best apologetics-focused training you will find.
For example, regardless of your personal ministry context, apologetics, theology, and even Bible study will never reach their full potential and truly engage today’s issues without being integrated with sound philosophy. This is something far too many Christians ignore, and it’s one of the pillars of our integrated approach. Giving you the classical philosophical foundation you need for both theology and apologetics is just one way that a degree or certificate from SES will serve you well. You can be a good philosopher without being a good apologist, but you can’t be a good apologist without being well versed in good philosophy!
You almost certainly have at least some basic — and maybe even advanced — knowledge of Christian apologetics. Perhaps, however, you have reached that point in your self-guided research where you realize it’s time for you to go to the next level in your preparation to defend the faith. Whether you’re considering an M.A., M.Div., D.Min., or even one of our many for-credit certificates, SES provides some of the best apologetics-focused training you will find.
We will take you beyond pop-apologetics to the heart of the issues. Regardless of your personal ministry context, apologetics, theology, and even Bible study will never reach their potential and truly engage today’s culture without being integrated with sound philosophy. You can be a good philosopher without being a good apologist or theologian, but it doesn’t work the other way around! Giving you the classical philosophical foundation you need for both theology and apologetics is just one of the ways that a degree or certificate from SES will serve you well.Â
You’ll be learning from faculty who have served as pastors and in other ministry roles. You’ll be able to go beyond textbook knowledge and gain wisdom and insight from their life experiences. Our faculty are also dedicated to getting to know students’ goals and helping them to understand the material in a way that applies to current or future callings.Â
Our courses integrate theology, philosophy, and apologetics in a way that helps you interact with today’s culture. You’ve likely encountered people who have questions about love, suffering, grief, and God’s plan. You will learn how to answer those questions, defend the inerrant Word of God, and reach people from a wide variety of socioeconomic backgrounds.
Because of our integrated apologetics-focus, we teach the bedrock tenets of Classical Christian thinking like God’s simplicity, impassibility, and more. With the proper foundation for demonstrating the nature of the existence of God, we may confidently build new skills and understanding for cultural engagement and upholding the hope of the Gospel.Â
