On What Apologetics Is

After Tim Keller, after Stephen Tong, here's my definition:

The art of persuasion against (active)/for (passive) those in bondage. Not by evidence but by God's revelation.

Tong: 护教这个字原先的意思是被控诉的时候进行申辨。护教学的意思就是对那些反对我们信仰,不了解我们信仰的人,给我们基督徒攻击的时候,我们为所信的做出申辨。这样护教学就具有积极性和消极性两方面的作用。积极作用是护教学和宣教学配合起来,积极的向世人介绍信仰。消极作用是去消除世人对基督教的疑惑,释放人的心灵。
