This project explores the effectiveness of expository preaching as a tool for biblical apologetics. After discussing the biblical and theological mandates for apologetics as well as the development of the current postmodern worldview, a case is made that the church needs to respond with a well-reasoned worldview/philosophical argument for the authority and inspiration of the Bible. A description of the project is given, describing the process from promotion to evaluation. The primary content of the project was a sermons series which was supplemented by an apologetics class. This work contains a brief description of the sermons and a synopsis of the major apologetic arguments of each. The final chapter provides a description of the empirical data derived from the evaluation of a focus group, and the conclusions were clear. Expository preaching is a valid tool for apologetics, and supplementary materials are helpful to increase the effectiveness of the arguments.
