Apologetics, simply put, is the defense of the Christian faith and message. We find the following instruction in 1 Peter 3:15, "but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect." (1 Peter 3:15, ESV)

"Brothers and fathers, hear the defense that I now make before you." (Acts 22:1, ESV)

And when the governor had nodded to him to speak, Paul replied: "Knowing that for many years you have been a judge over this nation, I cheerfully make my defense." (Acts 24:10)

"It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you kin my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel." (Philippians 1:7, ESV)
