The 5th Annual African Apologetics Conference

Our 5th annual conference 2024 theme is entitled Contextualizing the gospel in Africa. This theme seeks to challenge the upcoming apologists to think deeply about their own contexts and how apologetics can be practically useful for Africans. How do we begin meaningfully engaging the ideas that are challenging the gospel in Africa. In addition, how does the gospel address the African struggle for truth and meaning? We seek to challenge the budding pseudo-intellectualism which focuses on the non-local issues (European and American) and invite them to think critically about their local spaces.
