Providing Testimony: The Role of Proof and Evidence | Defending Our Hope (Lesson 11)
This is the eleventh lesson in Dr. Camden Bucey’s Reformed Academy course, Defending Our Hope: An Introduction to Christian Apologetics. Does proof have a place in a Reformed apologetic? In this lesson, we explore the proper use of evidence in defending the faith—not as a neutral tool but as a witness to divine truth when interpreted within the framework of Scripture. You will learn how logical arguments and historical evidences can support the gospel without compromising the authority of God’s word. By examining biblical examples and distinguishing between uses of proofs that submit to God’s revelation and those that presume autonomy, this lesson equips you to present compelling, faithful testimony to the truth of the risen Christ. 02:36 The Role of Evidence in a Reformed Apologetic 05:58 Logical Proofs and Their Limitations 11:46 The Use of Evidence 19:14 Heeding the Biblical Example 23:25 Summary and Conclusion Register for this free on-demand course on our website to track your progress, download supplemental resources, and assess your understanding through quizzes for each lesson.
