Introduction
Background Information: Logos Divinity School is part of the growing community of Christian Apologetics ministries worldwide. This school aims at training people in the art of apologetics, so that they can use all the available resources to fight the increasing attacks directed against the Christian faith. The basic purpose is to enable the students to understand and defend the Faith from those who attack it. Logos also aims to teach the right methods for the interpretation of Bible, Theology, counseling etc.
History: Logos Divinity School was Founded by Dr. Saneesh Cherian under the guidance of Dr. Johnson C. Philip in 2003. Dr. Philip, a well known Christian Apologist, serves as the Academic Dean. Logos is affiliated with Calvin Research Group, a Theological-education Thinktank. And is accredited by ICAATS.
Goals And Uniqueness: Our goal is train up maximum number of students per year worldwide in the art and science of Christian Apologetics. There has never been a time when there was so much apathy within the Evangelical community and so much attacks from outsiders. At the same time, there has never been a better time to start defending the Christian faith. Hundreds of organizations have come up all over the world to defend the Christian faith.
Logos uses resources developed by Calvin Research Group to defend the Christian faith. This resources is known as the “10 Basic Tools Of Apologetics”. Though labeled “basic”, these are extremely powerful tools even in the hands of a novice in apologetics. Thus any student enrolling for any of our courses has to study these tools. These 10 tools are the foundation course of Logos. It helps every student to have a basic idea on Christian Apologetics.
In keeping with its desire to train the maximum number of people, Logos has kept its courses tuition-free. All essential textbooks are supplied FREE on CDs. We pay the royalties and other expenses for these textbooks out of the registration amount received by us. A vast repository of apologetic and theological resources are also made available on the CD. We expect our students to take a strong stand for the Historical Christian Faith, defending it without hesitation or shame.
Doctrinal Position: Logos Divinity School is theologically a conservative institution. Thus we are in broad agreement with all conservative statements of faith. The core faculty- most of them come from a group of New Testament pattern churches, widely labeled in India as the Brethren Assemblies. Men belonging to this group are well-known for their theological scholarship and depth of scriptural knowledge.
In addition, we are dispensational in outlook, and encourage condemnation of all heresy and compromise. The very purpose of our training is to equip students to defend the fundamentals of Christian faith. We also tend more towards Calvinism than Arminianism, though this does not imply that John Calvin was infallible.
Though Logos Divinity School is Dispensational, Conservative, and Calvinistic in outlook, this does not restrict the admission to people who agree with us. We do admit people from all doctrinal persuasions and impart all the tools to them, and all the while hope to win all of them to our doctrinal persuasion. It does work in most cases, though not in all. In keeping with the spirit of inquiry, students are graded on the basis of their academic achievement, not on the basis of agreement of disagreement with us.
Courses Available: Though Logos Divinity School stands in the tradition of the most orthodox Christian apologists, the presentation of our courses is totally different from the way it is done in traditional programs in Apologetics. Rather than spend the lion’s share of time on learning “what” Christian apologists claim, we devote the major part of our syllabus to the “how” of the subject. Historical surveys then supplement this knowledge. In this way the student quickly masters the “10 tools of Apologetics” specially developed by apologists at Calvin Research Group.
Who can Join: Logos is opened for everyone who is interested in learning systematic theology, Christian Apologetics, Christian Counseling, Christian Communication etc. The qualification requirement is given in the course details.
