Christian Apologetics Journal Vol. 13, No. 1/ Spring 2015
Yesterday I received the most recent copy of Southern
Evangelical’s journal titled Christian Apologetics Journal (CAJ).
It contains a piece I wrote on Christology in the Letter (epistle) to the
Hebrews. The article does double duty to talk about Christology, but it’s
primarily an apologetics piece. It defends the fact of Christ being God’s final
revelation, the historical Jesus being one and the same as the “Christ of faith”
(Hebrews does not bifurcate the two as does modern critical scholarship), and
the blessings Hebrews (and Christ and Christianity) holds for the postmodern man.
Perhaps the most poignant remark is the one I make in where I state that
apologetics is about defending the Christian Faith. And Christology is the
heart of the Christian Faith, and so Christology is not dead, or else
apologetics is dead. Part of the reason I would say something like that is to
encourage apologists and wanna-be apologists with the fact that if you are going
to “defend the faith,” then you should probably have a decent grasp on the tenets
of the faith (e.g, Christology, soteriology, bibliology, and revelation), and the
Book in which the Faith is explained and through which it is brokered.
