| − | The word "apology" comes from a Greek word meaning essentially "give a defense." Christian apologetics, then, is the science of giving a defense of the Christian faith. There are many skeptics who doubt the existence of God and / or attack a belief in the God of the Bible. There are many critics who attack the inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible. There are many false teachers who promote false doctrine and deny the key truths of the Christian faith. The mission of Christian apologetics is to combat these movements, and instead, promote the Christian God and Christian truth.

| − | Probably the key verse in the Bible for Christian apologetics is 1 Peter 3:15, "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer and reverence to everyone who asks you a reason of the hope that is in you ... "There is no excuse for a Christian to be completely unable to defend their faith. Every Christian should be able to give a fair presentation of their faith in Christ. No, not every Christian needs to be skilled in apologetics. Every Christian, however, you must know what you believe, why you believe it, how to share it with others, and how to defend against lies and attacks.

| − | The second aspect of Christian apologetics, which is often avoided, is the second half of 1 Peter 3:15, "with gentleness and respect." Defending the Christian faith apologetics should never involve being rude, angry, or disrespectful. While practicing Christian apologetics, we should strive to be strong in our defense, and at the same time, like Christ in our presentation. If we win a debate, but further away the person of Christ by our attitude, we have lost the true purpose of Christian apologetics.

| − | There are two primary ways / methods of Christian apologetics. The first, commonly known as classical apologetics, involves the sharing of evidence and evidence to show that the Christian message is true. The second, commonly known as presuppositional apologetics, involves confronting the assumptions (preconceptions, assumptions) behind anti-Christian positions. Proponents of the two methods of Christian apologetics often discuss what is the most effective method. It seems more productive to use both methods, depending on the person and the situation.

| − | Christian apologetics is mainly the presentation of a reasoned defense of the Christian faith and truth to those who disagree with them. Christian apologetics is a necessary aspect of the Christian life. We are all commanded to be prepared and equipped to proclaim the gospel and defend our faith (Matthew 28:18-20, 1 Peter 3:15). This is the essence of Christian apologetics.
