Why I Still Believe: A Journey into Christian Apologetics

Apologetics has often been treated as a tool in the service of evangelism one that can be picked up or put down as the occasion requires. I believe this characterization is mistaken. Asking when should I use apologetics? is often depicted as a question akin to when should I use a hammer? I believe a better analogy is when should I use my hands? For most of us hammering is rarely required but we use our hands almost every minute of every day. My goal is not to provide an apologetics toolbox of talking points pre-wrapped answers or polished formulas for you to memorize; I am interested in communicating a fundamental way of thinking about the world and all of our activities in it and exploring apologetics as the vindication of a Christian vision for living in Gods created order.
