10 Myths about Apologetics

In this episode of Truth Tribe, Douglas Groothuis, a professor of worldview and apologetics, discusses common myths about apologetics. He argues that God is not above logic, referencing John 1:1-3, and that Jesus used reason in His ministry, as seen in Matthew 22. Groothuis refutes the idea that Paul failed at the Areopagus, emphasizing the philosophical nature of his address. He clarifies that apologetics is not hypocritical judgment but a critique of non-Christian worldviews. Groothuis also asserts that the gospel must be communicated through words, not just actions, to convey its intellectual content.  Douglas Groothuis, Ph.D., is a Professor of Philosophy at Denver Seminary and the author of nineteen books, including Fire in the Streets (a critique of critical race theory or wokeness) and Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith.
