Truth Lectures 2022 - I Believe in Jesus: An Apologetic Defense of Jesus Christ
The studies in this book were prepared in conjunction with the 2022 Truth Lectures, in Athens, Alabama, organized by Truth Publications, Inc. and CEI Bookstore conducted on
the campus of Athens Bible School. The focus of this series is on apologetics: the defense of faith in Christ. The material is rich and substantial, but also moving and motivational.
The reader will find a wealth of resources to strengthen faith and answer the challenges posed by an unbelieving world. The lectures are organized in five categories: (1) The Heart of the
Gospel, (2) Supernatural Things, (3) The Identity of Christ, (4) Why It Matters, and (5) Practical Apologetics considering how to address challenges faced in teaching others.
