Luke- Acts show that Christianity was not an illegal or superstitious religion
Gospel of John- Persuade people that Jesus was the Messiah, the Son of God
Romans- Defend the gospel against the claim that it was contrary to Scripture
1 Corinthians- Refute claims that the gospel was not philosophically reasonable
Galatians- Refute the errors of those who said Gentiles needed to be circumcised
Colossians- Refute the belief that Christ was just one of many divine powers
Hebrews- Defend the gospel’s superiority to the Mosaic covenant
1 Peter- Preparing to live by the gospel and to defend it when challenged
2 Peter- Remembering what Christ and the apostles taught when unbelievers scoff

This is a great list to have on hand when someone claims that apologetics is not necessary!
A special thank you to Mr. Bowman for allowing me to publish this list!
Courage and Godspeed,
