Welcome to the Logos Apologetics Panel hosted by Dr. Jonathan Mutinda Waita—evangelical Christian, theologian, philosopher, and author. In this introductory session, Dr. Waita outlines his global academic journey, ministry background, and vision for Logos Educational Ministries Kenya. With a foundation in theology, philosophy, and apologetics, this series promises thoughtful discussions on critical biblical and philosophical topics. Stay tuned for upcoming panels.

This video examines a key distinction in the study of religion: the difference between non-revealed and revealed belief systems. Non-revealed religions make no claim to a divine source, which aligns with secular theories that explain religion through psychological development or evolutionary progress. Revealed religions, such as faithful Judaism rooted in the TaNaKh and evangelical or orthodox Christianity, assert that their origins come directly from God’s self-disclosure and commissioning. Understanding this distinction provides essential context for evaluating how various religious traditions define their authority and purpose.

Introduction to Philosophy Part I provides a general introduction to philosophy, followed by a more detailed introduction to the first 2 of the 6 major divisions of philosophy, i.e., metaphysics and epistemology, and their subdivisions.

Introduction to Philosophy Part 2 provides a detailed introduction to the 3rd major divisions of philosophy, i.e., Ethics, with the competing views of the nature of ethics, as well as the rival orientations of ethics like teleology and deontology.

Introduction to Philosophy Part 3 provides a detailed introduction to the 3 remaining major divisions of philosophy, i.e., logic, semantics, and aesthetics.

Introduction to Theology Part 1 provides a general introduction to theology, as well as the 5 Christian theological disciplines, as well as a detailed introduction to biblical theology, philosophical theology, and historical theology.

Introduction to Theology Part 2 provides a general introduction to systematic theology, as well as a detailed introduction to such systematic theological doctrines as theism, bibliology, Christology, pneumatology, and angelology.

Introduction to Theology Part 3 provides a detailed introduction to such systematic theological doctrines as anthropology, hamartiology, soteriology, ecclesiology, and eschatology, as well as a general introduction to practical theology.

Begins with the definition of the term “Apologetics,” followed by factors that contributed to the birth of Christian apologetics—i.e., theological, moral, and political misunderstanding. Theologically, Jews considered Christianity a Judaist cult that preached a false Messiah, and Greco-Roman Pagans considered Christians atheists. Morally, Christians were accused of cannibalism and incest. Politically, Christians were accused of treason. Christian apologetics was necessitated by the need to respond to these false charges.

Begins with a discussion of the symbiotic relationship between the Bible and Christian theology. It proceeds to trace the foundation of Christian apologetics, which matured in the second century AD, in the examples and mandate of Christ and His apostles, in the first century AD.

Highlights Christ’s claim to be God, Christ’s forgiveness of sin, and the authentication of His deity and authority to forgive sin with miraculous signs. Christ also accurately predicts His death and resurrection after three days.

The highlights here include Peter’s mandate for the apologetic ministry, as well as the apostle’s defense of their apostolic office by arguments, with Paul’s address to the Athenian philosophers serving as a classic verbal Christian apologetic exercise.

Begins with an introduction to five key apologetic schools of thought—i.e., Classical Apologetics, Cumulative Case Apologetics, Evidential Apologetics, Presuppositional Apologetics, and Reformed Apologetics and ends with the third proof of Classical Apologetics, i.e., the Cosmological Argument.

This part begins with Classical Apologetics’ fourth theistic argument, i.e., the Ontological Argument, and ends with the introduction of Evidential Apologetics.

This part begins with Cumulative Case Apologetics. It lists the categories for the analysis of each worldview, such as Ultimate Reality, Epistemology, Human Beings, History and Afterlife, Truth, Source of Morality, and Soteriology. The part ends with the first of the 8 criteria for the evaluation of worldviews—i.e., whether the worldview explains what it ought to explain.

This part discusses the remaining 7 criteria for the evaluation of the worldview. It also introduces the remaining apologetic schools of thought—i.e., Fideist Apologetics, Presuppositional Apologetics, and Reformed Apologetics.
