The Department of Christian Defense is a Christian apologetic ministry based in Los Angeles, CA.  The purpose of the Department of Christian Defense is to proclaim and defend the gospel of Jesus Christ and provide information to educate and equip Christians to reasonably, confidently, and accurately proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.

From an apologetic stand point, all heresies, in some way, shape, or form, redefine the Person of the Son, Jesus Christ. The first Christological heresy that the church had to deal with was a denial of His humanity (e.g., Docetic Gnosticism; cf. Col. 2:9; 1 John 4:1-3; 2 John 7). But shortly thereafter and presently virtually all Christological heresies deny the full deity of Christ and/or His distinction from God the Father and God the Holy Spirit--namely, denying the triune nature of God. Thus, the Department of Christian Defense provides  literature, seminars, and other material in order to better educate Christians to accurately communicate essential Christian doctrine to the unsaved and effectively evangelize those involved in non-Christian cults.
