Biblical beliefs and values are being increasingly questioned and condemned in our society. That can put Christians on the defensive about their faith and their church. How can we become more confident in defending our beliefs when under fire? This study is intended to help! Dr. Berg teaches Apologetics at Wisconsin Lutheran College: He Comments:

We are given the command to “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have” (1 Peter 3:15). But what does that look like? In this 5 week presentation, we explore the ways Christians have and can speak about their faith to the skeptic. How might a philosopher, a scientist, a lawyer, an historian, or even an artist look at the evidence of God’s existence and  specifically the facts of Christ’s resurrection? Each has a unique vantage point about the same basic fact: Christ rose from the dead and defeated the devil for you and me.

Come join us as Dr. Berg will serve a five week stint as our expert presenter on this important and practical topic.
