  • While life should not be taken too seriously, this doesn’t mean we should live with absolute frivolity.

This does not mean that actual religion — the sincere attempt to understand the unknowable.
  • Apologetics (ἀπολογία, "speaking in defense") describes the practice of defending ideas or persons from accusations that they are culpable. This often involves denying or minimizing harm and responsibility for harm.
  • Christian apologetics is a field of Christian theology that aims to present a rational basis for the Christian faith, defend the faith against objections, and expose the perceived flaws of other world views. Christian apologetics have taken many forms over the centuries, starting with Paul of Tarsus, including writers such as Augustine of Hippo and Thomas Aquinas, and continuing currently with the modern Christian community, through the efforts of many authors in various Christian traditions such as C.S. Lewis. Apologists have based their defence of Christianity on historical evidence, philosophical arguments, scientific investigation, and other disciplines.
  • To do apologetics is to defend one's faith. Therefore, the study of apologetics is the study of how to defend one's faith. There are many different ways to approach apologetics, most of which are outlined below.
