Ancient apologists such as
Justin Martyr, Aristides of Athens, and Athenagoras presented the life of the
church as primary evidence for the truth of the faith. Irenaeus, Augustine of
Hippo, John Calvin, and many others pursued apologetics not as scholarly
specialists but as pastors who were responsible for the spiritual well-being of
ordinary Christians in local churches.
The foregoing excerpt is taken from an article on CT by Timothy Paul Jones titled: Churches Shouldn’t Outsource Apologetics to Slick Conferences. Basically, this article is a book review, although I am not providing the name of the book since I want the reader to find out for themselves by reading the article. Based on the title alone one should get the hint on who the author believes should be handling apologetics, which in part is also based on his own life experience. OK, I think I have already provided too much information, so I will stop here. Blessings, and read the full article at the link below.
