An Apologetics Dinner Party: How to Defend Your Faith in Real Life w/ Louis Markos


Summit Ministries

What happens when Christianity, atheism, Islam, and competing worldviews meet around the dinner table?

Many Christians know what they believe but feel intimidated when someone challenges their faith. Questions about science, suffering, other religions, morality, and the reliability of the Bible can quickly make us feel unprepared. But apologetics was never meant to remain in classrooms and formal debates.

Dr. Louis Markos joins Dr. Jeff Myers to explore apologetics as it actually happens: through conversations with real people asking difficult questions. Drawing from his book My Apologetics Dinner Party: A Real-Life Socratic Dialogue, Markos explains how Christians can uncover the worldview assumptions beneath objections, engage atheists and people of other religions with conviction and respect, and learn from Jesus’s approach to questions and disagreement.

Discover how to defend the Christian faith without reducing apologetics to winning arguments, and how truth, wisdom, humility, and persuasion can work together to point people toward Christ.
