We live in a day of religious skepticism and confusion, of biblical illiteracy and theological superficiality. Atheism has become more strident and other religions more aggressive, while Christians far too often are ill-informed and ill-equipped to respond to such challenges. While some segments of evangelical Christianity are very interested in apologetics, there is still widespread ignorance on many key issues. Now more than ever, Christian churches and schools need help to educate believers in the truth of biblical Christianity. The Institute for Religious Research (IRR) offers several seminars to help meet this need, including the following (click on any of the titles to go immediately to that seminar’s description, or scroll down to read any of them you choose):
