On guard william lane craig5/28/2023 The Bible actually commands us to have such a case ready to give to any unbeliever who wants to know why we believe what we do. Christian apologetics involves making a case for the truth of the Christian faith. The reason for her misunderstanding is obvious: “Apologetics” sounds like “apologize.” But apologetics is not the art of telling somebody you’re sorry that you’re a Christian! Rather apologetics comes from the Greek word apologia, which means a defense, as in a court of law. One fine Southern lady, upon hearing that I teach Christian apologetics, remarked indignantly, “I’ll never apologize for my faith!” Sometimes people who aren’t in our class don’t understand what we do. We talk about what the Bible teaches (Christian doctrine) and about how to defend it (Christian apologetics). I teach a Sunday school class called “Defenders” to about one hundred people, from high schoolers to senior adults, at our home church in Atlanta. Always be prepared to make a defense to any one who calls you to account for the hope that is in you.
