Dr. K. Scott Oliphint begins with the basics—what is covenantal apologetics and why do it? What is the basis for defending the Bible’s truths? He provides examples from the Old and New Testaments, and uses the doctrines of Scripture, God, man, and salvation as a biblical warrant for apologetics. Throughout the course, Dr. Oliphint focuses on humanity’s covenant relationship with God in all things.
