Apologetics

Jump to: navigation, search

Christian Apologetics, or simply, Apologetics is the field of philosophy and theology devoted to a systematic and supposedly rational defense of Christian beliefs. This defense does not extend to the actions of Christians--it focuses solely on finding "rational" reasons to believe in the tenets of Christianity.

There are many different branches of apologetics, some focusing on evidence, some on ontology, but all share the purpose of removing "faith" from Faith.

Most arguments focus on the tenets of Christian faith being inherently true, but some change the nature of knowledge itself, redefining reason, and falling back on such circular ideas as biblical inerrancy.
