Welcome!
Welcome to the Christian Apologetics Alliance! On these pages you will find a growing number of resources for the Christian interested in the reasonable defense of the Christian worldview. Within CAA, we are devoted to the idea that God desires followers who will love Him with all of their minds. Through study of theology, philosophy, logic, science, history, and archaeology, we seek to provide opportunities for our members to do just that. We are a growing internet community made up of Christians from all over the world. Our common goal is to share and discuss ideas, lift each other up, and encourage each other to develop a rational faith that is prepared to answer the hard questions posed by a nonbelieving world. On our pages, you will find a wide variety of information, including essays from our family of Christian bloggers, listing of apologetics events around the world, and an opportunity to be part of a Christian fellowship that tries to live by the apostle Peter's admonition to "give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have."
