Apologetics

relativism, also known as cultural relativism. In societal relativism, truth depends on what a culture, society, or majority say. If the majority say something is right or true, then that is what is right for individuals that are a part of that culture (Apologetics 7.2.2). It does not, however, apply to anyone in different societies or time periods. Of course, this also has its many flaws in real world applications. This view assumes that all societies are equal, and it assumes that their truth…

path to a final destination in the kingdom of God. I believe that a Christian who follows this path of truth could never practice nihilism. 2. Kreeft argues that we need apologetics. What are they and are they important for Christians today? According to Kreeft, what sorts of challenges do Christians face and how do apologetics help? Compare what he says to what Hauser…

some theories that can be used by Christian apologetics to challenge the theories and beliefs of non-believers. The strong points of the Kalam Argument can make good arguments that can be challenging to non-believers. Although there are some good points in the Kalam Argument, there are also a few weaknesses concerning creation and evolutional changes. In the viewpoints contained in the Kalam Argument, even the weak points can be used by Christian apologetics to provide a solid challenge that…

Home Depot appropriately handled its data breach crisis through the company’s quick acting with an initial statement to the general public and through crisis management emails sent to its customers.

Why were ghettos created? Elie Wiesel, the author behind “Night”, writes about his life during WW2 in his autobiographical novel “Night”; which outlines and includes his life in the ghettos and in the concentration camps. On the other hand, Tupac and Elton John reminisce Tupac’s “hood days” in Tupac’s and Elton John’s song titled, “Ghetto Gospel”. Both pieces of writings, “Night” by Elie Wiesel and “Ghetto Gospel” written by Tupac and Elton John, although evidently contrast in tones and in the…

attempted to stage a comeback by launching a large and ambitious series of handsomely produced volumes, most of which are indeed by leading authorities. Not so this slim work on Islamic history, a scandalously apologetic and misleading account written by a former nun with an ax to grind. The apologetics start with the Prophet Muhammad and conclude with the present day. Armstrong goes out of her way to soften every hard edge, explain away every unpleasantness, and hide what she cannot otherwise…

which can often be even more interesting than the book itself. Mark Twain is one of these authors, a man who worked very hard to do what he loved. He was kind to others, determined, and assertive when need be. Mark Twain was kind to others, and apologetic. When Twain was starting out as a writer he really admired Oliver Wendell Holmes, a very well known author. Twain read so many of Holmes' books that he began to plagarize without realizing that he stole those ideas from him. Twain shared his…

the dialogue. The two characters in the play Visitor and No Name drop subtle hints of what their genders are. Men are generally viewed as tough, frank, use salty language, drink, impatient, etc. Women are viewed as caring, pure, good, innocent, apologetic, feeling, soft, etc. The…

A quote I once read by Peter Zilahy states "You have to make choices even when there is nothing to choose." On the freeway headed towards downtown it happened to me again that dreaded slow driver in the far left lane or better know as the passing lane. Okay, I'll be honest, I was annoyed. I came across a road rage meme and it made laugh so hard! It was Kermit the Frog with a bolded caption that said" My face when ... I'm finally to the person who would let me over." I'm looking at it again…

Francis Schaeffer (1912-1984) was an American evangelical theologian and philosopher, a major voice for Christian apologetics in the latter half of the 20th century. In 1955, he founded L’Abri (the shelter) in Switzerland, a Christian apologetics center and spiritual community. From there, he published books, articles, audio seminars, and video presentations that examined intellectual history and art from a Christian perspective, offered Christian social criticism of ideas and trends within…
