Top 5 Christian Apologetics Apps for Android

 

Smartphones are rapidly replacing computers and tablets as the number one digital device for news, entertainment, gaming, music, video and audio resources; and the Android is one of the most popular smartphone platforms in the United States. 

While most folks are spending their time playing Candy Crush, the on-the-go, in-the-know Christian who is looking to educate themselves on their faith, answer nagging doubts about their beliefs, or stay on top of Christian-related news, may just turn to their smartphone as their primary resource for answers and information. 

Likewise, the skeptic and critic of religion looking to debunk the various evidences Christian Apologists purport to offer may be looking for a single resource that collects the best that Christian defenders can produce. 

Either way, these applications are a wealth of multi-media; providing a vast spectrum of knowledge, news, and philosophy aimed defending Christian beliefs and engaging a skeptical world.
