“Good apologetics is a blessing to the church and to the world; the early church proved this. A valid apologetic, however, follows faith and does not attempt to argue the truth of revelation in an a priori fashion. Christians need not hide from their opponents in embarrassed silence; the Christian faith is the only worldview that fits the reality of life. Apologetic intellectual labor should not lead to exaggerated expectations nor deny the genuine subjectivity of Christian truth. Relying on reason to convert or ground the faith on intellectual grounds alone will always disappoint.” ReasonTruthChristianApologetics Book:Reformed Dogmatics Source: Reformed Dogmatics
“Wherever the revelation that is foundational to Christianity is to be found, the Christian dogmatician has to take his stance there. This is where he stands as a Christian, and this is where he must still take his stand as a dogmatician, for with it his dogmatics will stand or fall.” CultureTheologyTheology Proper Author:Herman Bavinck; John Bolt
