apologetics.pro is a free, searchable library of the evidence for the Christian faith: the historical case for Jesus and the resurrection, the reliability of the Bible, the classic arguments of philosophy and science, and honest examinations of atheism, relativism, Islam, Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, Scientology, Buddhism and Hinduism. It is the companion app to apologetics.pro and carries the site's complete evidence repository. HOW IT IS ORGANIZED The evidence is arranged in 15 cases. An apologetic case argues for Christianity. A polemic case examines another belief system, and opens with "What it is": a fair description of that system, in terms its own adherents would recognise, before any critique. Every case makes a set of claims. Every claim is backed by numbered exhibits: ancient historians, manuscripts, archaeology, philosophy, science and Scripture, each with the citations and links to check the source yourself. Under each exhibit, the most common objections are stated fairly and answered directly, conceding what should be conceded. WORKS OFFLINE The whole repository downloads to your phone the first time you open the app and refreshes quietly whenever you have a connection. Read it on a plane, in a study group, or anywhere the signal is poor. Search works offline too, and tolerates typos. FEATURES - 15 cases: Historical Jesus, Resurrection of Christ, Reliability of Scripture, The Trinity, Relativism, Problem of Evil, Philosophy, Science, Atheism, Islam, Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, Scientology, Buddhism, Hinduism - Search cases, claims, evidence and objections instantly, with no connection - Shuffle to a random claim - Save any exhibit to come back to later - Share a claim, an exhibit or an objection as a link to its full write-up on the website, or copy it as text with its sources - Suggest an addition or a correction from inside the app, no account needed - Large text and screen readers supported WHO IT IS FOR Christians who want to know why they believe, skeptics who want the strongest version of the case rather than a caricature, students, pastors, teachers, and anyone in a conversation about faith who wants the sources at hand. No account. No ads. No tracking. Free. Found a mistake? Every claim, exhibit, source and objection has a link to suggest a correction. A reviewer reads every suggestion and emails you what happened to it.
