the best defense of the Christian faith is . . .
. . . sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence. . . (1 Peter 3:15)
Not, “Be ready to out-debate those who disagree with you.”
But, “Give an gentle account for what drives you, for why you do what you do.”
A faith that acts fearlessly well toward the other–regardless of who that other is–is the best apologetic.
