What is "apologetics" anyway?

According to the American Heritage Dictionary, "apologetics" is the "formal argumentation in defense of something, such as a position or system." A Christian "apologetic" is not an apology as we usually use the term, that is, to say you are sorry for something. An apologetics ministry does just the opposite. We use the word "apology" in the sense that we give a defense of the Christian faith. We answer people's questions about the truth of the Gospel. To the questions of the skeptic and the believer we offer an apologetic - we give an answer - to the counterclaims of secularism and other worldviews. We try to demonstrate that the claims of Jesus are true and make sense intellectually, and offer the best picture of our world and of reality.
