Synopsis

Many are expressing concern about the future of Christian youth today.
What can we do to help ensure they will keep their evangelical faith once
they graduate from high school? Can Christian apologetics provide an
educational solution?
Developing A Christian Apologetics Educational Program
explores issues certain to be encountered by secondary school
educators who want to teach apologetics as a distinct subject of study
either as a part of a Christian institutional or home school curriculum.
This book helps the apologist and educator blend their skills to soundly
integrate the two subjects. A solution is sought by providing a
background and rationale for implementing an age-level appropriate
apologetics course at this critical level of Christian education. This book
is designed as a text to supplement those used in Christian education or
applied apologetics courses; each chapter successively builds upon the
other to help develop an educational philosophy that supports the inclusion
of apologetics in the curriculum. A model is explained and materials
are given to support the development of a curriculum in Christian
Apologetics Education at the secondary level. Practical ideas are
explored and a sample unit of instruction is supplied to help the educator
develop an evangelical approach to education that is in the classical
apologetic tradition.

From the Back Cover

"There is nothing like this on the market. It fills a much-needed gap in the
apologetic market. Dr. Potter offers a clear, correct, and comprehensive
overview of how to develop an apologetics education program. Nothing is
needed more in our churches and schools than this to stop the hemorrhaging of
the loss of our young people who are going out into the enemy camp with no
real preparation to meet the challenges. Every pastor, teacher, Christian educator,
and parent needs a copy of this book."

"We entered the Adult Sunday school class and were surprised a State
University student was the teacher. We had raised eyebrows going in, but
left awestruck with Doug Potter's teaching. We found Doug to be an
incredible Bible scholar. For many years Doug's vision has been to provide
a scholarly work to assist Bible teachers teach future generations to defend
their Christian faith. I heartily recommend this book, a useful tool for
every Bible teacher."
