 " The Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics (OCCA) is unique. It bridges the gap between the ever-evolving questions of our culture and the unchanging answers provided in the Gospel. The programmes of the OCCA are designed for men and women serious about
integrating their commitments to Christ with their professional lives.
Drawing people from the business world, academia and the arts, the OCCA
fosters an engaging and effective style of evangelism, undergirded by a
framework of sound apologetics.
The OCCA faculty is composed of some of
the leading Christian thinkers of our time, including Alister McGrath,
Michael Green, John Lennox, and Michael Ramsden. Students carry out
their academic pursuits with other thoughtful, dedicated Christians who
are eager to carry the message of the Gospel in a persuasive,
articulate and intelligent manner. And all of this takes place in the
beautiful and historic surroundings of Oxford University. I am grateful
to God for an institution such as the Oxford Centre for Christian
Apologetics. I believe that participating in one of the OCCA programmes
is one of the best possible means of equipping Christians to provide
the reason for their hope, in order that they may better extend that
hope to the world. "

 " I am delighted that you would like to learn more about the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics. Under God's grace, we seem to have gone from strength to strength since our founding, and we are looking to the future with eager anticipation. Every year that passes reinforces the need for the church to have leaders who are skilled in the art and science of commending and defending the Christian faith, and passing on those skills to their congregations.
Now, more than ever, we need business leaders, lawyers, academics and other professional laypeople who can exercise a marketplace ministry among their peers. The OCCA has set out to raise up a new generation of Christian leaders, in church and society at large, who can carry on the succession of great apologists of the past and present. Who will carry on the work of C.S.Lewis? Or a Ravi Zacharias? It could be you - and the OCCA could help you to do it. "
