This online learning cohort will offer a broad and practical overview of cultural apologetics and allow for participants to learn from and interact with leading scholars and practitioners who serve as fellows at the Keller Center.
The course will define cultural apologetics, explain its biblical and historical grounding, and demonstrate how it is an important resource for the church today. Participants will learn not only how to better exegete contemporary cultural narratives but also how to more effectively challenge these narratives and appeal holistically to the goodness, beauty, and truth of Christianity. By also sampling some of the most frequent Western objections to Christianity, the faculty will offer ways to respond to these challenges, which participants will be encouraged to personalize for their own contexts. Finally, the course will explore practical ways cultural apologetics can be used in teaching, preaching, Bible studies, and day-to-day conversations.

In this session we will explain broadly where we are culturally in the West and how we arrived here. This will include an overview of a holistic anthropology (storying, thinking, believing, and desiring beings) and we will connect how the first two points are related to each other and how they related to apologetics.
In this opening session we will define and illustrate the importance of cultural apologetics. We will show how cultural apologetics is rooted biblically (esp. with Saint Paul) and within the church’s tradition (esp. with Augustine).
In this session, we will explore the narratives that underlie our cultural artifacts and how the everyday interactions of human experience present opportunities to proclaim the gospel.
In this session we will use the concept of “mass” (the weight of an argument, the ability to move
someone) to explain why we need to look for ways to get at the heart. In doing so, we will demonstrate how key features of our humanity and cultural ideals along with an “Inside Out” approach can be used in conversation and teaching/preaching.
From “the vibe shift,” to exposing secularism as unlivable, to interactions with other religious perspectives, opportunities for cultural apologetics present themselves in everyday life in varied and surprising ways. In this session, we will explore the unique evangelistic opportunities the West, in the post-Christendom context, presents for Christians today.
In this session we will explain how story is particularly relevant in persuasion. We will summarize the philosophical and theological reasoning for an Inside Out approach to apologetics and use examples of how Inside Out works.
In this session we will examine how to use cultural apologetics in your teaching and preaching as well as what it looks like to lead a culture of evangelism in your church.
In this final session, we will confront various defeaters that are presented as challenges to the Christian message. In response, we will offer Christianity’s inherent beauty, authoritative truth, and moral goodness as an answer to our culture’s deepest longings.
