Apologetics is based on 1 Peter 3:15, which tells Christians to always give an apologia, a defence of the Christian faith. Apologetics means to defend, discuss and show what faith is and how it is to be lived out. It is not apologizing nor arguing. It's about Christians knowing what they believe and why, and learning how to share it by everything they say and do.

Apologetics is not a new trend but a Christian tradition. It has been a basic task of Christians for millennia. But it is even more important today, in what R.C. Sproul has called the most anti-intellectual period in the history of the church.

In The Weight of Glory, C.S. Lewis writes, “Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered.”
