We often get asked by people with a desire to use their interest in apologetics to train others how to get started. Well, here's one answer to that desire.
Join Frank Turek, Greg Koukl & others at the CrossExamined Instructor Academy (CIA). Learn how to impact your world with "I Don’t Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist" on August 13-15, 2008, held at Southern Evangelical Seminary near Charlotte, NC. You'll be trained to defend Christianity in a public speaking opportunities.
CIA is an intense three-day program where you will learn how to present "I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist," which involves four main topics: Truth, God, Miracles and the New Testament, and how to answer questions about those topics in a hostile environment. During those three days, in addition to hearing lectures and participating in discussions, you will be asked to present portions of "I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist" and answer questions from several instructors. These instructors, who will coach and challenge you, will include Frank Turek, co-author of I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist, Greg Koukl and Brett Kunkle of Stand to Reason, and Jason Reed, Professor of Philosophy at Southern Evangelical Seminary.
Iron will sharpen iron, and you will be prepared to take your interest, desire, and skills into the public square to train others and defend Christianity. Register at CrossExamined.
Melinda,
Wow, looks like an awesome opportunity. (Plus I live only a couple of hours away.)
I don't have a degree in apologetics, nor have I spent much time presenting apologetics to others (besides occasional posts here and similar places). Is it enough to have familiarity with the referenced texts, plus maybe Gold-level certification with the ABC curriculum? Or is a more scholarly background necessary?
