The idea of apologetics as a necessary part of one's faithful walk is new to most Christians.
They understand the need to worship God, to live a set apart life, and even the command to evangelize given by Jesus in the Great Commission.
However, learning apologetics isn't something preached from most pulpits today.
Yet, in the first few centuries, apologetics and evangelism were inter-reliant. In fact, when you look at the writings of the early church fathers, you see how big a role apologetics played in their interaction with the outside world…
Just as the Christians in the second century faces a culture hostile to the teachings of Christ, so Christians today find themselves in a post-Christian (and post-pagan) culture.
Apologetics is therefore necessary to fulfill our faithfulness to The Great Commission.
We see it in the examples of the Church Fathers. We would do well to follow them. — Lenny Esposito (from, You Can No Longer Separate Apologetics and Evangelism)
When Caesar crossed and trod beneath his feet/ The soil of Italy's forbidden fields,/ "Here," spake he, "peace, here broken laws be left;/ Farewell to treaties. Fortune, lead me on;/ War is our judge, and in the fates our trust"... (poem by Marcus Annaeus Lucanus)
