What do you think about Apologetics?
It is supposed to be the work of convincing people to change their views. In this, it is similar to preaching because its goal is ultimately the defense and presentation of the validity and necessity of the gospel. It is an attempt to persuade the listener to change his beliefs and life to conform to biblical truth and to come to a saving relationship in Christ. Is it Christian based?

The way I think it should be understood is that it is NOT to persuade anyone or make anyone conform to any belief system but actually to share a reasonable answer as to why we believe that. If anything it should make the person think about the reasonable testimony of Christianity, it does not mean that they have to conform to it, that's all on the person's choice whether to believe in it. The person should actually think for him or herself.

I think masters_losey has it right on, Apologetics is simply a organized well thought out defense of why we believe what we believe. I also think that all christians should be involved in learning apologetics, to many don't know why they believe what they believe. I have meet to many christians who just retell what they have been told and when pressed to explain themselves, can't.
