Larry Blythe
M.A. Apologetics, Theology, Philosophy, Pastoral Theology
Although Larry is a “jack of all trades and master of some,” he has become proficient in teaching and training science, art, and music in Christian education. But most importantly, he is a follower of the Messiah, Jesus Christ.
For over 35 years, Larry has studied and taught many topics, including the Bible, Creation science, apologetics, and theology, to thousands of students worldwide. His courses on Creation science against Darwinian evolution and Christian apologetics have been popular in the Apologia Live Classes for 15 years. He has taught at Bible colleges, conferences, and schools, including many homeschool conferences and radio and podcast events.
