"But in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give a defense to everyone who asks you the reason for the hope that is in you. But respond with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who slander you may be put to shame by your good behavior in Christ."
— 1 Pet. 3:15-16
ISCA is the International Society of Christian Apologetics, founded with the following purpose:
“The purpose of the Society is to foster scholarly discussion of ideas among evangelical scholars relevant to the defense of the historic Christian Faith in accordance with the Doctrinal Statement of the Society.”
~ The Bylaws of the International Society of Christian Apologetics
ISCA is a community of Christian scholars, whose research, writing, and speaking is commensurate with evangelical Protestant theology, as expressed in our statement of faith. To that end we hold conferences and publish peer-reviewed articles in our journal. Furthermore, in the process we establish networks among evangelical academicians and trust that our results will strengthen the faith of all Christian believers.
