What Does “Apologia” Mean?
The Greek word Apologia appears eight times in the Greek manuscripts of the New Testament, and it is always used in the context of people defending their faith or actions by reason and logic. In 1 Peter 3:15, for example:
But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence.
Apologia Educational Ministries exists to help homeschooling families equip their students to give a reasoned defense of the Christian faith. To do this, Apologia develops and publishes curricula to help families cultivate a biblically sound approach to all thought and experience. In addition, Apologia offers resources for parents to help them create an environment of learning that is best suited for each individual child.
In all these things, Apologia is equipping families to defend the historic Christian faith so that they may speak the truth in love, with gentleness, and with respect, with anyone, at any time, and anywhere.
