Apologetics Reading List

[Mary Beth Jones]

Here is an (always) incomplete list of books that are appropriate for Apologetics Bible credit.

CIAS will give 1 credit for Apologetics upon reading completion of 8-9 book titles (one per month), recorded on this report form:
www.christianinstitute.com/18BibleBookList13-14.pdf
and accompanied by a notebook with response answers/feedback OR write a 150-word paragraph about how the book impacted you and one thing that you learned that will change your life/the way you think/etc.

High school students may choose whichever books that they want from the list. If you have a great book that you think would be appropriate for this genre of reading, please let us know, and we will add it to our list!
