Developing a Christian Apologetics Educational Program: in the Secondary School Douglas E. Potter

Many are expressing concern about the future of Christian youth today.
What can we do to help ensure they will keep their evangelical faith once
they graduate from high school? Can Christian apologetics provide an
educational solution?
Developing A Christian Apologetics Educational Program
explores issues certain to be encountered by secondary school
educators who want to teach apologetics as a distinct subject of study
either as a part of a Christian institutional or home school curriculum.
This book helps the apologist and educator blend their skills to soundly
integrate the two subjects. A solution is sought by providing a
background and rationale for implementing an age-level appropriate
apologetics course at this critical level of Christian education. This book
is designed as a text to supplement those used in Christian education or
applied apologetics courses; each chapter successively builds upon the
other to help develop an educational philosophy that supports the inclusion
of apologetics in the curriculum. A model is explained and materials
are given to support the development of a curriculum in Christian
Apologetics Education at the secondary level. Practical ideas are
explored and a sample unit of instruction is supplied to help the educator
develop an evangelical approach to education that is in the classical
apologetic tradition.
