19th September 2023

In this thrilling two-part episode of The Apologetics Podcast, Garrick and Timothy go back to the future. Or, perhaps more precisely, they go back to the second century for the sake of the future.

Be an apologist without being a jerk

Garrick Bailey and Timothy Paul Jones: How to Be an Apologist without Being a Jerk

14th March 2023

You don’t have to be a jerk to be an apologist. In fact, if you’re being a jerk, you’re not doing apologetics in a biblical way, because biblical apologetics calls Christians to defend the faith in “meekness and fear” (1 Peter 3:15b). So how can you be an apologist without being a jerk? One of […]

Resurrection Jesus Saves

Garrick Bailey and Timothy Paul Jones: Resurrection-Centered Apologetics

7th March 2023

This episode begins with the infancy of Jesus and ends with his resurrection. It’s Garrick who brings up the infancy of Jesus, and it happens in the Raiders of Church History segment in a manner that’s far more awkward than Timothy anticipated. This episode is the first—and hopefully the last—time that lactation has ever been […]

Timothy Paul Jones: We Are All Apologists Now

4th February 2023

A faculty address is given only once in a lifetime of academic research, and it becomes part of the institution’s permanent record of a professor’s scholarship. I had the privilege of delivering my faculty address “Brothers and Sisters, We Are All Apologists Now” in Broadus Chapel on Wednesday, February 1, 2023. This address is my […]

Garrick Bailey and Timothy Paul Jones: Abortion, Apologetics, and the End of Roe v. Wade

25th July 2022

Garrick Bailey and Timothy Paul Jones: Did the Council of Nicaea Choose the Books in My Bible?

8th June 2022

The books of the Bible were selected in the year 325 at the Council of Nicaea, right? That’s what a lot of Christians seem to think. But is this story true? And, if it isn’t true, how did the tale of a council that created the canon begin in the first place?

J. Warner Wallace: What Could We Know About Jesus If Every Bible in the World Disappeared?

22nd February 2022

What if every single copy of the Bible went fluttering away, never to be seen again? If that happened, surely all of our knowledge about Jesus would be gone as well, right? Not so fast, says cold-case detective J. Warner Wallace.
