Hosted by Calvary Church, 5801 Pineville-Matthews Road in Charlotte, one of the most premier apologetics events in the nation is set for Oct. 13-15.
SES has an impressive lineup of nationally known speakers who will tackle the many tough topics that have been debated both in society and on the campaign trail. A women’s pre-conference is also set for Oct. 13.
“Southern Evangelical Seminary’s National Conference on Christian Apologetics is always a time to focus on the issues that are affecting every American, especially the faithful,” said SES President and Evangelical leader Dr. Richard Land, who will also serve as a speaker. “But perhaps this year more than any other, our nation has become a platform for debate, with polarizing sides evident on a multitude of issues.”
The theme of the conference, “The Defense Never Rests,” focuses on the charge to Christians to defend their beliefs rationally, intelligently and lovingly. Speakers include:
• Dr. Norman Geisler: Author, professor, speaker, lecturer, philosopher, apologist, evangelist, theologian and co-founder of SES.
• Richard Howe: Debater and speaker who has taught courses in philosophy at several universities.
• Josh McDowell: Since 1961, has spoken to more than 10 million students through 24,000 talks in 118 countries.
• Sean McDowell: Assistant professor in Christian apologetics at Biola University, author and speaker at schools, churches and conferences.
• Dr. Hugh Ross: Founder and president of Reasons to Believe, which researches and communicates how the Bible harmonizes with nature.
• Jay Sekulow: Chief counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice, Supreme Court advocate, religious liberty expert and author of “Rise of ISIS.”
• Lee Strobel: Atheist-turned-apologist, professor of Christian thought at Houston Baptist University and author of “The Case for Christ.”
• Dr. Frank Turek: Dynamic speaker, award-winning author and leader of CrossExamined.org.
