International Society of Christian Apologetics (ISCA)
Founder and First President: Dr. Norman L. Geisler
"Never has there been a greater need for evangelical scholars to band together to give a scholarly defense against the relentless and increasingly sophisticated attacks being leveled against the Christian Faith. God had called ISCA into existence for just that purpose. I am excited to be a part of it."
The ISCA fulfills a longfelt need to have an academically-oriented society that brings together conservative Christian scholars from a variety of fields engaged in the task of apologetics.
The purpose of the Society is stated in the bylaws as:
"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."
Full membership requires a minimum of an M.A. in a field related to apologetics (including, but not limited to: Apologetics, Philosophy, Bible, Theology, History, Science, or Comparative Religion) or its equivalent. Students who are pursuing at least an M.A. in one of those fields are eligible for student membership. Exceptions will be considered by the executive committee.
The ISCA will hold an annual meeting during the month of April, publish a printed journal, as well as maintain an on-line journal on this website. The Society also provides encouragement and fellowship for scholars across the disciplines working to underscore the truth of Bible-based Christian belief, as they seek to strengthen the Church in its task of upholding the Saviorhood and Lordship of Jesus Christ.
