A School of Christian Apologetics
January 11-16, 2009

Defend The Faith is the first in a series of events designed by the Institute for Christian Apologetics to help equip students, scholars, and lay persons to defend the Christian faith.  Defend the Faith is a week-long school (January 11-16, 2009) where students can hear from top evangelical apologists and communicators.  Seminary students and some college students can earn up to 6 hours of course credit.*  The event, hosted by New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary in New Orleans, Louisiana, will feature evening lectures from popular apologists, worship, and breakout sessions. Seminary students and Baptist college students may qualify for accredited coursework that corresponds with the event.
