New Approach to an Ancient Foundation
While the Belief Types model is new, the categories come from centuries of Christian apologetic tradition. After studying 28 apologetic methodologies, the same seven patterns kept emerging, with six pairing naturally into three groups that map to your head, your heart, and your hands.
Each Belief Type maps directly to an established tradition within Christian apologetics: the centuries-old field of explaining and defending the Christian faith. Every type has specific scholarly roots developed by serious Christian thinkers over centuries. The Profile simply asks: which of these reflects how you came to believe?
