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."

Why Share Reasons to Believe?
Maybe you’ve encountered well-meaning Christians who look down on the practice of providing evidence for Christian truth claims. I used to get that a lot. How should you respond?
Just Point to Jesus
What’s his example look like? Turns out, Jesus provided evidence—reasons to believe—in many different ways. For example, Luke said Jesus “gave many convincing proofs” of his resurrection from the dead (Acts 1:3).

The Resurrection of Jesus: My Unlikely Easter Conversation
Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally
One Easter, a relative cornered me at a family reunion and wanted to talk about the resurrection of Jesus. Let's just call her my dear Aunt Sally. Some people try to stay away from politics and religion a parties. Not Aunt Sally. :-)
Aunt Sally was Religious Studies major and she started off by telling me that Jesus didn’t come back from the dead in any real sense--that the story of Jesus' resurrec...

Welcome to the New and Improved Christian Apologetics Alliance Website!
I just wanted to take a few minutes to let everyone know that the new website for the Christian Apologetics Alliance is up and running.

Special thanks also to the rest of the group for offering comments, contributing content, and offering general support and prayers.
We have big plans for CAA as we move f...

Reason, Science and Progress: Who Wants It More?
In recent years, many atheists have prominently championed their allegiance to intelligent thought. For instance, there is “The Richard Dawkins Foundation For Reason and Science” and Sam Harris’ book “The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason.” Atheists sometimes refer to themselves as “freethinkers” and “brights.”
The public perception that these atheists are working hard to strengthen is the idea that there is a cavernous divide between “faith...

What is Christian Apologetics?
Many years ago, while I was in the Christian Apologetics program at Biola University, my wife and I attended a family gathering. A relative heard I was in grad school and asked me, “What are you getting your degree in?”
I said, “Um... Apologetics.”
She replied with a chuckle, “I’m SO sorry!”
“It’s not really that bad,” I said, looking kind of confused.
Today, I still get odd responses at family gatherings when this comes up. But even Christi...
