Defending Our Hope
An Introduction to Christian Apologetics
The hope we defend is no mood, maxim, or private conviction. It is a living hope purchased for sinners and secured by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Defending Our Hope builds on that foundation, setting apologetics where Scripture sets it: on the risen and self-attesting Christ, who confronts a world in rebellion and calls it to life. A clear, confessional introduction for every Christian ready to answer, with gentleness and reverence, for the hope that is in them.

Winter’s Death[1] by Geerhardus Vos
Here lies the Winter hated,
Goliath-like prostrated,
Whom David’s stone laid low.
Recovered from earth’s chillness,
Spring uses the first stillness
To put left-over illness

Reformed & Confessional
We are committed to the principles of the Protestant Reformation and the truths of its historic creeds and confessions such as the Westminster Standards and the Three Forms of Unity as these documents summarize the system of doctrine contained in Holy Scripture.
Redemptive-Historical
God has revealed his unfolding plan of redemption through the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ in history. In everything we do, we seek to advance the basic categories of redemption accomplished and applied.
Foundational
Regardless of the particular theological or practical subject, we aim to address foundational matters—to access the architectonic principles so that you not only learn the “right answers” but also how to think through the issues at their deepest levels.
For Lifetime Learners
We develop resources that are intended for people who desire to grow in their Christian faith throughout an entire lifetime. We believe that Christians never graduate from the basics of the gospel, though they also must strive toward maturity in Christ.
