The Beginning of Knowledge: Christ as Truth in Apologetics

CONFRONTING THE WORLD WITH LOVE, GRACE, AND POWER

All men know God. Not just a god, but the God. (Romans 1:18-22)

All truth, knowledge, and wisdom begins with Christ. It is impossible to know anything apart from Him. (Colossians 2:2-3; Proverbs 1:7; Psalm 111:10)

These beautiful biblical truths have been long ignored or abandoned by most involved in modern Christian apologetics. As the simplicity, purity, and power of God-breathed, God-centered Scripture has been sidelined in favor of man-centered philosophical approaches and debate strategies, common Christians armed with the supernatural apologetic and Gospel of Jesus Christ have been radically influenced or replaced altogether by "professionals" hawking a "defense of the faith" that exalts the foolishness of the world by validating its rejection of the authority of the Word of God. The results have been predictably catastrophic.
