Apologetics Field-Based Activity: The Existence of God Assignment Instructions
Overview
Apologetics is not just theory but a tool we should use to argue for Christianity. This is the first of four apologetics activities in which you will communicate a simple apologetics argument to a person in a conversation. This activity provides you with an opportunity to construct a short argument for the existence of God while anticipating possible objections to that argument and then sharing that argument “in the field.” Afterwards you will reflect on that activity and what you learned during the planning of your argument and from your conversation.
Instructions
A template will be used for this assignment. This template is in three sections. Two-four paragraphs for the reflection are required with a minimum of two pages required for the completed assignment. No title page is necessary since this is a template.
While you should do research in planning your argument, a formal citation system is not required. Do, however, use quotation marks for any direct quoteswith a footnote that follows current Turabian format indicating the source of the quote. The following textbook sources are provided to help you as you select and construct the argument for the existence of God.
