Contending For The Faith Conference

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

“always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you.” (1 Peter 3:15)

Contending For The FaithOur good friends at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, Indiana are holding a conference very soon addressing the subject of Christian apologetics. Given the list of speakers, I expect this to be a very valuable event which you simply won’t want to miss, if at all possible.

The campus is a Lutheran institution, but please don’t let that dissuade you if you don’t happen to be Lutheran. This is a very important subject for all Christians—one not being taught or discussed nearly enough right now—and rarely is there an opportunity to see it tackled by such talent as has been assembled for this event.

Take a look at the promotional video and the PDF file of the details of the event.

The conference is on May 1-2 (about a month from now) and if you have the inclination and the ability, please don’t miss it.

Here is some more description from the pamphlet:

Integral to the task of Christian witness in a secular and pluralistic culture is the ability to articulate and defend the truthfulness of the Gospel. Concordia Theological Seminary is, therefore, pleased to offer “Contending for the Faith in the Twenty-First Century.” The goal of this conference is simple: to encourage and equip Christians for the task of “always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks for the reason for the hope among us” (1 Peter 3:15). Presentations will be made on a variety of topics from atheism to Islam as well as historical, contemporary, and the practical considerations of Christian witness. Attendees can expect to leave the conference with greater confidence, understanding, and insight into the nature and task of Christian witness in the public sphere.
