Christian Apologetics

Dr. Jonathan Corrado briefly introduces NationsUniversity’s Christian apologetics resources and why apologetics is important to a Christian’s witness and testimony. Dr. Corrado earned a Ph.D. in Systems Engineering from Colorado State University and an M.Div. from NationsUniversity. He is a member of the NationsUniverstiy faculty and freelance contributor to the NationsUniversity Blog and the Institute for Creation Research’s Creation Science Update. He works in the nuclear industry and is a senior officer in the U.S. Naval Reserve.

NationsU students and alumni interested in Christian apologetics are encouraged to explore the work of John N. Clayton.  Apologetics is the study and practice of presenting the reasonableness and truth of God’s existence and the Christian faith.  John’s journey toward belief began during his university experience as an atheist.

Over several years, his questions of other atheists and his own thought process and study led him to become a devout believer in the God who created the universe.  He has spent his lifetime helping others understand that belief in God is credible based on sound reasoning and principles of scientific and academic study.

If you are interested in a more serious and rigorous exploration of apologetics, consider taking his free intermediate Online Christian Evidence Course.  The thirteen modules in this course and its supplemental materials offer a good foundation in Christian apologetics:  (Students should note that this non-accredited course does not earn course credit hours or lead toward a degree.)

WHO IS JOHN CLAYTON?

A devout atheist until his early twenties, Clayton was part of the same organized atheist group that made Madeline Murray O’Hair famous. He decided to write a book called All the Stupidity of the Bible, but instead found himself slowly becoming convinced about Christianity.

Today, he travels the U.S. giving some 40 lectures per year on the subject “Does God Exist?” Professionally, John is now a retired teacher and geologist by profession. He holds a B.S. degree from Indiana University in education with a concentration in physics and mathematics and an M.S. degree from Indiana University in education with a concentration in chemistry and psychometry. Furthermore, he also holds an M.S. degree from the University of Notre Dame in geology and earth science.

Clyaton’s honors include: Distinguished Physics Teacher for the State of Indiana —1985 by the American Association of Physics Teachers; S.T.A.R Instructor for Indiana Department of Public Instruction —1990; South Bend Community School Corporation High School Teacher of the Year and School Corporation Teacher of the Year —1991.
