Evangelism and Apologetics

Dr. Greg Bahnsen / Answers in Genesis:
The very reason why Christians are put in the position of giving a reasoned account of the hope that is in them is that not all men have faith. Because there is a world to be evangelized (men who are unconverted), there is the need for the believer to defend his faith: Evangelism naturally brings one into apologetics. This indicates that apologetics is no mere matter of "intellectual jousting"; it is a serious matter of life and death-eternal life and death. The apologist who fails to take account of the evangelistic nature of his argumentation is both cruel and proud.
