The Founding Location of Ratio Christi. The first apologetics club was formed at ASU and it continues to this day. Ken Grano is the current campus director. RC provides a safe and charitable venue for atheists, agnostics, skeptics, and adherents to any religion to investigate the claims of Christianity, discuss religious beliefs, and seek truth without fearing reprisal. While this is a distinctly Christian organization, any student is able to become a member and learn, debate, and explore the connection of faith and reason.

Ratio Christi comes to Christopher Newport University amid an already thriving Christian movement on campus. Rather than encroach on the territory of other campus ministries, however, Ratio Christi CNU has developed a strong relationship with other Christian groups on campus such as InterVarsity, Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Baptist Campus Ministries, providing a unique service that has been previously absent at CNU. The arrival of Ratio Christi at CNU has brought an infusion of rational thinking to the Christian community on campus and has sparked important dialogue between believing, skeptical, and seeking members of our student body. We are proud of the relationships we have forged with several skilled members of our faculty and we plan to continue to bring a strong defense of the Christian faith to our university through a variety of mediums.

Blind faith is lame… so here at Ratio Christi we focus on discussing the tough questions you may be asking concerning Christianity. It's time to take off the blindfold and explore the relevancy of Christian truth claims for the academy, discuss other belief systems, and seek truth in a non-threatening atmosphere. Come to discuss and investigate the rationality of a Christian worldview.

Lenoir-Rhyne University in Hickory, North Carolina is our newest chapter to receive official status from the host university. The Chapter Director is Chris Van Allsburg. Welcome Lenoir-Rhyne! Ratio Christi, a Christian apologetics ministry at Lenoir-Rhyne, has as its primary goal to offer Christian students a chance to learn how to think through intellectual issues that seem to subvert the classic, orthodox, Christian message. Students thinking through these issues are confronted with such questions as rationality and the existence of God, the exclusivity of the gospel message, the problem of evil, the authority of Scripture, human sexuality, faith and works, and so on. Our additional attempt is to provide a setting where those of non-Christian beliefs may engage Christian students and Ratio Christi staff in honest, thoughtful, open forum discussions. We'd also love to host debates between big-name scholars. Ratio Christi also has a broader vision of community involvement, reaching beyond the boundaries of the campus by means of similar activities of open, rational dialogue regarding the thorny questions of the Christian religion. Ratio Christi currently meets at "The Cave," which is in the basement of the "Bears Lair" at 7:30 am every Friday (as of June 3). This summer, students will be led through Greg Koukl's "Tactics: Directions for Defending the Faith," a fun, interactive, and stimulating DVD on how to engage others in conversations that are non-threatening, and yet challenge the positions of non-Christian worldviews. So far, we have studied the biblical case for apologetics (what the Bible itself says about apologetics), including Jesus' use of logic. It has been a lot of fun, so come join us every Friday morning at 7:30 am in "The Cave"!

Ratio Christi Potchefstroom was started in 2009 by a group of guys appropriately enough living together in Veritas Men's Residence. In the same year they introduced the campus to apologetics by organizing a team of apologists from Southern Evangelical Seminary to lecture all over campus, most notably Dr. Richard Howe. In 2010 they had RZIM speaker John Njoroge training students and in 2010 and 2011 Dr. Michael Licona was their guest, lecturing at various venues across campus and debating Muslim Apologist Yusuf Ismail. Dr. Licona's popularity became evident when the theological faculty offered him the position of external research collaborator, which he accepted. They host regular events with local apologists and have monthly meetings. They currently operate under the leadership of Johannes Stoker and Danie Malan and any contact details and event information can be attained through their Facebook group Ratio Christi - PUK

At a Campus Crusade for Christ retreat in spring of 2009, a group of Ohio University students decided to form a community to respond to intellectual attacks on the Christian faith. The resulting group, Christian Engineers and Scientists, discusses topics related to apologetics at weekly meetings. Past studies have covered the material presented in The Case for Faith, The Truth Project, The Case for a Creator, On Guard, and Expelled. In fall of 2009, Christian Engineers and Scientists hosted a guest lecture by David Berlinski, world-renowned mathematician, philosopher, and skeptic; more than 200 people attended. The leaders of CES joined forces with Ratio Christi in fall of 2010, hoping to gain additional assistance in carrying out our vision of teaching Christians how to defend the faith. In winter of 2011, the OSU and OU chapters of Ratio Christi co-sponsored Frank Turek's visit to their campuses, where he presented the lecture, "I don't have enough faith to be an atheist."

We launched Ratio Christi at Rutgers in October 2011! Our President is Isaac Woodward and our Vice President is Lydia Eck, both philosophy students. Our faculty advisor is Dr. Dean Zimmerman, Dean of Philosophy at Rutgers. We welcome all Rutgers students and faculty to meet weekly to discuss the big questions of life that often go unanswered and unchallenged in the university and the culture. Here are a few of the issues we will be investigating: Can Truth be known? What is tolerance? Is there an objective standard of morality? Does God exist? Which God exists? Are the New Testament documents reliable? Did Jesus claim to be God? Is there evidence for the resurrection of Jesus? Is Jesus the only way to God? If God exists, why is there so much evil? In addition to our weekly meetings, in the Spring of 2012 we will be participating in five Interfaith Panel Discussions featuring Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. At the end of these five forums, we will host a campus wide event featuring a dialogue/debate between Christian scholar Nabeel Quereshi and a TBA Muslim Scholar. In the fall of 2012 we plan to bring a Christian thinker/apologist/philosopher to interact with the students and faculty in the form of a lecture/public discussion in a campus wide event.
