The first issue of the Thinking Matters Journal will be published once construction of the new Thinking Matters site is complete. The theme for our inaugural edition is “Introducing Apologetics”. We’ll focus on what apologetics is, what it involves, and why it’s important. We’ll also briefly cover the various apologetic approaches, and expand on these in the next issue.
