Is apologetics a waste of time? Unbelievable? 18 Feb 2012
Playback speed
Chris Sinkinson is a pastor and tutor at Moorlands Bible College. His new book 'Confident Christianity' aims to equip the believer with an overview of apologetics and how it can be used to make a rational defense of the Christian faith.
James Croft is an atheist Brit studying at Harvard University and director of 'Temple of the Future'. He has read and debated with apologists - he says that all the apologetic arguments he has heard are incapable of convincing him.
They debate what constitutes faith and evidence and whether it's irrational to believe in miracles such as the resurrection.
