The "Answering Islam" course is biblical in its foundation because it seeks to defend the truth of Christianity by contrasting biblical doctrines with Islamic teachings, always grounding its arguments in Scripture. It aims to uphold the authority of the Bible as the ultimate standard for truth while engaging with Islamic beliefs through careful, biblical critique.
Millions of Muslims around the world have yet to hear the life-changing message of the Gospel. In many Muslim-majority countries and communities, access to the Christian message is limited, and the vast majority of Muslims grow up without ever hearing the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. According to recent statistics, there are over 1.8 billion Muslims globally, many of whom are sincerely seeking spiritual truth but remain unaware of the biblical Jesus. The urgent need for effective evangelism that is both respectful and biblically faithful cannot be overstated.
The "Answering Islam" course is designed to equip believers with the biblical knowledge, theological clarity, and practical skills necessary to reach Muslims effectively. By providing a solid biblical foundation and showing how biblical truth contrasts with Islamic doctrines, the course enables Christians to confidently share the Gospel in a way that resonates with Muslim audiences. It helps believers understand Islamic beliefs, address common objections, and communicate the Gospel clearly and compassionately, all rooted in Scripture. This course empowers Christians not only to defend their faith but also to open doors for meaningful conversations, leading many Muslims to consider the truth of Christ. Ultimately, "Answering Islam" is a vital tool in fulfilling the Great Commission—bringing the Gospel to those who have yet to hear it and praying for their salvation.
Christians should learn apologetics to respond to Muslim arguments because it equips them to defend their faith with confidence and biblical integrity. In a world where religious beliefs are often challenged, believers need to understand the reasons for their hope and be able to articulate the truth of Christianity clearly. Apologetics provides believers with the tools to address common objections, misconceptions, and false teachings they encounter, especially in discussions with Muslims who often present well-articulated and deeply rooted beliefs. Without a solid understanding of their own faith and the reasons behind it, Christians may be vulnerable to doubt or confusion when faced with Islamic arguments.
Moreover, learning apologetics enables Christians to engage respectfully and thoughtfully with Muslim friends, neighbors, and colleagues. It moves conversations from confrontation to constructive dialogue, fostering mutual understanding while clearly articulating the uniqueness of the Gospel. When Christians can answer questions about the reliability of the Bible, the deity of Christ, or the truth of salvation, they are better positioned to share the Gospel effectively. Apologetics also helps believers discern truth from error, ensuring they remain rooted in biblical doctrine and avoid being misled by distortions of Islam or other world religions. Ultimately, a well-informed believer is better equipped to fulfil the Great Commission—to make disciples of all nations—by confidently sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with Muslims and people of all backgrounds.
