The Institute for Lutheran Apologetics
A reason for the hope that is in you.
Confessional Lutherans bringing their training and experience together to use apologetics for evangelism and discipleship, and to help pastors, teachers, and laypeople do the same.
What the Institute does
Four functions, one purpose: apologetics in the service of the gospel.
Studying
An ongoing study of apologetics from a distinctly Lutheran perspective, including its practices and tactics for evangelism and discipleship.
Meeting
Members assemble each year and invite others to take part in the study.
Resource Production
Resources that help congregations and individuals use apologetics for evangelism and discipleship.
Presentation and Consulting
When invited, members advise pastors and congregations on the use of apologetics.
“But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect.”
