Its religious origin is in I Peter 3:15, Peter's injunction, "be ready to give an answer (apologia) to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you."  The apologetics program at Luther Rice is led by Dr. Scott Henderson

Partnership with Ratio Christi

Recognizing the quality of Luther Rice College & Seminary apologetics programs, Ratio Christi has partnered with Luther Rice and now offers students and graduates opportunities to use their apologetics' training to proclaim, through a ready defense, the gospel of Jesus Christ in the academy.

 


Ratio Christi is a student apologetics alliance movement that equips university students and faculty to give historical, philosophical, and scientific reasons for following Jesus Christ. Ratio Christi has a goal of opening apologetics clubs on university campuses in the US and around the world. Every one of these clubs needs a trained apologist to serve as chapter director. That means there are multiple opportunities for well-trained apologists to equip Christians on university campuses to present the historical, philosophical, and scientific reasons for the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ.

As an approved institution, Luther Rice College & Seminary offers the kind of apologetics training for which Ratio Christi is looking in its search for qualified chapter directors. We are excited about the possibilities this relationship has for our graduates who are looking for opportunities for establishing the intellectual voice of Christ at the university.
