Joe Carter, from Evangelical Outpost is starting a new deal – “The Evangelical Directory” – the intent is to get all of the Evangelical blogs all networked together. Good idea (although I don’t see how this isn’t another Evangelical Aggregator… maybe he has another idea for it.), and I signed up. By the by – if you haven’t read Joe Carter at EO – do so 😀

Are Apologetics Still Necessary?
Author: RazorsKissJan 10
Phil from Every Thought Captive is back, with Part #2: The Turn to Community.
In navigating the transition between a Modern culture influenced by the Enlightenment and the Postmodern culture influenced by a deconstruction of the Enlightenment, the topic of Christian apologetics has come up in some circles as something which is up for grabs. It should not be too hard to find an Emergent or pomo writer who asks whether apologetics are still necessary, and more often than not the answer is that apologetics, as they are traditionally understood, are dead and outdated.
Excellent, excellent series. I suggest you go read it.
Is Apologetics Necessary?
Author: 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.

However, some quotes can be interesting thought provokers. Don’t you think?

Show yourself sharp, go to the right; set yourself; go to the left, wherever your edge is appointed. – Ez. 21:16
Debating, and applied Apologetics.
An Apologist is never an apologist, unless he does actual apologetics, with people. That’s the whole idea.
