A movement where Christ is named
Ratio Christi
Campus & students · Founded 2008
Ratio Christi, Latin for the reason of Christ, is a global apologetics ministry that launched in 2008 and places apologetics clubs at colleges and universities. It equips students and faculty to give historical, philosophical, and scientific reasons for following Jesus Christ, defending the truth of Christianity through reasoned discussion, guest lectures, and open dialogue that engages skeptics and strengthens the faith of believers on campus.
What they do
Ratio Christi establishes apologetics chapters at colleges and universities, where a chapter director and student leaders host regular meetings, lectures, and open forums that examine the evidence for God, the reliability of the Bible, and the resurrection of Jesus.
The ministry trains students to answer hard questions about faith, science, history, and morality, and to engage skeptics with respect and confidence rather than fear.
Through debates, guest speakers, and reading groups, Ratio Christi aims to establish an intellectual voice for Christ on the secular campus and to help doubting believers hold their faith with both heart and mind.
The Scripture behind the work
Where the door leads
Ratio Christi points students to Jesus Christ by clearing away intellectual obstacles and presenting the reasoned case for His life, death, and resurrection. It invites seekers to weigh the evidence honestly and to trust Christ. A natural next step is to visit a chapter meeting or ask a chapter director your hardest question about the faith.
Connect to the real thing
The Living Bread is a door, not the destination. The life is with Christ and his people.
