Not everyone agrees that distance learning is as good as classroom learning.
Rick Walston, PhD., President of Columbia Evangelical Seminary (listen to Apologetics 315 interview here) argues that distance learning can be better than classroom learning.
He presents his arguments here.
Personally, if I had my time again, I would prefer to do my courses from home using video teaching materials. (The Khan Academy is awesome btw… how nice it would be to have an apologetics/theology equivalent.)
So, which seminaries and universities offer distance learning related to apologetics? Let’s start an alphabetical list…
- Biblical Training certificate courses (Bill Mounce et al.) (Example: Ron Nash’s Apologetics course)
- Biola online certificate and MA courses
- Columbia Evangelical Seminary
- Liberty University Online (Example courses: APOL 104, PHIL 201, PHIL 240)
Many ministries also offer courses. For example:
- Please Convince Me Academy (6 courses here)
- Ravi Zacharias (Academy of Apologetics, India here, here)
- Ravi Zacharias (Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics)
- Ravi Zacharias (School of Apologetics, Calvary Chapel, Fort Lauderdale)
- Ravi Zacharias Bookstores (Europe, USA)
- Sean McDowell (Worldview Ministries curriculum)
- Stand to Reason’s ABC (Ambassador’s Basic Curriculum) (Greg Koukl is awesome btw! Get his newsletter.)
- William Lane Craig (Defender’s Series)
And of course, there are theology courses online also. For example:
