APOLOGETICS PRESS
For more
than twenty years Apologetics Press has published and disseminated materials
for self study, group study, or evangelistic purposes. Topics range from evidences
supporting the Christian Faith to highly controversial areas that challenge
that Faith. Each year we prepare a catalog of our own publications and other
materials. Currently, Dr. Bert Thompson serves as Executive Director, and
is in charge of day-to-day operations. Dr. Brad Harrub is the Director of
Scientific Information. Kyle Butt is the Director of Biblical Research. Eric
Lyons is the Director of Research. They are assisted in the office by a staff
of six.
HISTORY
In the late
1970s, Bert Thompson and Wayne Jackson saw the need to make available scripturally
sound and scientifically accurate materials in apologetics among the churches
of Christ. The idea for Apologetics Press was born—an idea that soon became
a reality. The necessary legal steps then were taken to allow the work to
be recognized as non-profit and tax-exempt by both State and Federal governments.
In 1985, Apologetics Press moved into its own custom-built, 11,000-square-foot
building that was debt free upon completion.
REASON
AND REVELATION
Since 1981,
Apologetics Press has published a monthly journal on Christian evidences.
Dr. Bert Thompson is the editor; Dr. Brad Harrub is the associate editor.
Reason & Revelation is the main teaching medium of Apologetics Press.
In its pages appear articles on such topics as God’s existence, the inspiration
of the Bible, the creation/evolution controversy, the deity of Christ, ethics,
etc. Typically, each issue includes a feature article and one or two shorter
articles. The subject matter deals with current issues and draws on the most
recent sources whenever possible.
DISCOVERY
Since January
1990, Apologetics Press has published Discovery, a monthly paper on Scripture
and science for kids. Articles are aimed primarily at children in the 4th
through 6th grades, although many different age groups enjoy Discovery. Kyle
Butt serves as editor; Eric Lyons serves as associate editor.
Each eight-page issue carries lessons from the Bible and nature. Biblical
articles teach children about God’s Word and His will for them. Articles about
plants, animals, and natural phenomena are intended to build faith in the
Creator. Past issues have covered a wide range of topics such as the design
of trees, Egypt and the Bible, the meaning of covenants, the Flood of Noah,
the difference between the Old and New Testaments, and the importance of apologetics.
Our friendly mole and sleuth, “Digger Doug,” provides answers to kids’ questions.
Puzzles, word searches, and other exercises reinforce the lessons.
Discovery is bursting with colorful pictures, illustrations, and activities.
Professionals design and print the publication so that we can maintain the
highest possible production standards from start to finish.
