Is Apologetics Necessary?
Posted by RazorsKissJan 9
Every Thought Captive has an interesting topic – and, it seems to be right up my alley.
My basic thesis is that the first reason is an important cultural observation which should help us understand what kind of role apologetics will play in our world today, but that the second reason is, well, basically hogwash. In a short series of posts I want to argue that apologetics are still necessary, and will always be a necessary part of the life of the Christian disciple but that the cultural observation made above will guide us in our understanding about what is important about apologetics today. In short, apologetics are still a necessary and important part of the Church, but it may take on a slightly different face that it has in the past century.
Head on over, and take a look.

Its great that there are those talking about and defending the notion of solid apologetic work out there. Thanks for the link and the kind words!

I agree wholeheartedly. Apologetics is even more important today when schools have begun to deify Darwin, et al. There are some whose minds are initially opened or re-opened because their intellectual obstacles to Christianity are overcome. As The proohet Isaiah said, “let us reason together” Isaiah 1:18
