What is apologetics? I realize that a lot of people are not familiar with what apologetics is, or what an apologist does. So, let\u2019s start with the basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The word apologetics <\/em>derives from the Greek work apologia, <\/em>which means to give a legal defense, much like a lawyer does in court by using evidence and practical arguments. Apologetics is not the art of saying sorry for something you did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is the art of defending that which you believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cHe must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.\u201d <\/em>~ Titus 1:9<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
In a way, apologetics is the act of defending our faith unapologetically to the world, and then explaining the \u2018why\u2019 in a way that the average person would understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
