Master of Arts (M.A.) in Christian Apologetics (Non-Thesis)
Defend Your Faith and Follow God’s Calling with Our M.A. in Christian Apologetics Degree
Christian apologetics is the study of historical, evidential, and reasonable facts to defend Christian theology. Individuals in Christian apologetics strive to find outside sources to reinforce the authenticity of the teachings found in the Bible. Liberty University’s Master of Arts in Christian Apologetics upholds this pursuit by ensuring that each apologetics course has a rich foundation in biblical principles. You will pursue this understanding through the exploration of hermeneutics, studying miracles within the Bible, and the history of Christian apologetics.
In our master’s in apologetics program, you will study current challenges to the faith, such as atheism and the problem of evil, and develop logical arguments in response to these challenges. This degree equips you with the tools you need to serve as an apologist in your local church, on the mission field, or through print as a Christian author. Partner with us, and become the Champion for Christ you always knew you could be.
