I've been a Christian for about a year and my weird personality defects and radical scepticism have left me with an obsession to uncover the truth of things. I am writing this as someone who believes in a Classical approach to apologetics but is sympathetic to the pre-suppostional. I have no formal education in philosophy or theology. I work full time and am doing a part time degree in software engineering - all study is done in personal time.
From there, theologically, one might want to consider slowly reading through other systematic books each year:
this will ensure a good doctrinal grounding - In terms of apologetics I would first approach the subject at the popular level :
I would recommend the following for dealing with popular Biblical complaints :
For an introduction to philosophy I recommend:
For more advanced Philosophy:
For defence of core Christian tenets:
Science and Religion:
Theres so much more I could recommend but I feel like thats a good start to get underway.On YouTube I recommend ReasonableFaith (they have playlists of their defenders class for multiple topics), InspiringPhilosophy and Capturing Christianity.
There's a guy called Bruce Gore on YouTube who has a playlist called something like "Philosophy of Christian thought" - this is aimed at a group of 18 year olds he taught and is very accessible and a great introduction to the history of Christian philosophy.
Gordon Conwell Theological seminary have a free online course called "Dimensions of the Faith" with hundreds of hours of audio lectures from a Masters course in theology - worth taking a look at!
It's important to stay close to God whilst studying, cleave to His word and pray diligently.
If you figure out a way to go to university and study this stuff let me know as I can't afford it!
EDIT: I forgot to say I also highly recommend reading conversion testimonies:
Additionally don't get discouraged by other peoples education, to quote John Locke:
>"The Commonwealth of Learning is not at this time without Master-Builders, whose mighty Designs, in advancing the Sciences, will leave lasting Monuments to the Admiration of Posterity; But every one must not hope to be a Boyle, or a Sydenham; and in an Age that produces such Masters, as the Great-Huygenius, and the incomparable Mr. Newton, with some other of that Strain; βtis Ambition enough to be employed as an Under-Labourer in clearing Ground a little, and removing some of the Rubbish, that lies in the way to Knowledge."
Craig, Plantinga et al are old and Christianity needs a new generation to take hold of the mantle!
