The church is an apologetic!

I have been writing this column in Evangelicals Now for many years. The general theme is apologetics – the defence of our faith – using reliable evidence and being aware of contemporary questions.

I have done so as a lecturer at one of our nation’s Bible colleges. Archaeology, Biblical texts, ethical dilemmas and philosophical questions are all familiar territory for anyone studying academic theology.

But some people have been surprised to learn I am returning to pastoral ministry. After nearly 19 years teaching at Moorlands College, I am about to join the staff of Lansdowne Church in Bournemouth as an Associate Pastor. Does that mean I am no longer engaged in training men and women for ministry?
