Can we prove that Christianity is true?In this special live episode of the Into the Truth podcast, Pierpaolo Finaldi is joined by Canon Marcus Holden at the Evangelium Conference to discuss his new book, Apologetics for Evangelisation, co-authored with Fr Andrew Pinsent.Canon Marcus explains why Catholic apologetics matters today and how Catholics can respond to some of the deepest questions about faith: Does God exist? Is faith rational? Can science point us towards God? Who was Jesus Christ? Is the Resurrection historically credible? And if Christ is real, why do we need the Catholic Church?They also explore the growing interest in Christianity among young people, the problem of suffering, the relationship between science and religion, and why the Church should have confidence in making the case for the Catholic faith.Apologetics is not about being defensive or winning arguments. It is about giving a reason for the hope that is within us and helping people encounter the truth of Jesus Christ.
