Abstract

Generation z has grown up in a mature digital ecosystem, exposed to a constant flow of information that often contradicts the claims of the Christian faith. This situation calls for a renewal of apologetics teaching strategies so that they remain relevant to the psychological, social, and spiritual character of this generation. This article aims to examine and formulate effective strategies for teaching apologetics to Generation z through a qualitative method using a library research approach. Data were gathered from books and scholarly journals in theology and Christian education, then analyzed using content analysis techniques. The findings indicate that strategies for teaching apologetics to Generation z should be built upon four main principles: a relational and narrative approach, the integration of digital media, experience- and testimony-based apologetics, and a contextual, dialogical approach. The success of these strategies depends greatly on the readiness and competence of Christian Religious Education teachers as facilitators rather than mere transmitters of doctrine. This article is expected to offer practical contributions for teachers, theology lecturers, and church workers in nurturing the faith of young people amid the challenges of the digital age.
