Amy Orr-Ewing on the Goal of Apologetics

"Apologetics seeks to present the Gospel to people that are not believers in a way that really connects with their questions and their issues about the Christian faith—and to do that in a way that hopefully brings them to be able to see Jesus and come to know Him for themselves."

—Amy Orr-Ewing
