Abstract

This research discusses the importance of relevance logic in Christian apologetics for constructing logical and certain arguments. The background of the study is based on the challenges in the field of Christian apologetics in formulating a logical and certain system of arguments. The purpose of this research is to examine how relevance logic can be applied in Christian apologetics to build strong and effective arguments. The research findings were obtained through a literature review using a qualitative method, covering several related sources such as the Bible, articles, and books. The significant finding (novelty) offered by this research is that relevance logic can serve as an alternative in formulating valid and logical theological arguments in the field of Christian apologetics. Moreover, the presence of relevance logic in Christian apologetics can facilitate others in understanding the principles of the Christian faith presented through apologetic activities. Finally, relevance logic is an essential tool in Christian apologetics that can help Christians (apologists) defend their faith in a more rational and effective manner.
