Apologetics phobia

Dear en,

I enjoyed the article by Chris Sinkinson in the November issue. I tend to be ‘apologetics phobic’, as I find the argument sometimes too clever and too difficult to get a grip on. Also I resent the assumption that everything in arguing for the faith is about issues directed against belief in Jesus. To be honest I get grieved that so much of this apologetics is done at universities around the world. Chris Sinkinson’s final paragraph sums it up well and nicely links up the intellectual side of faith and the daily living it out part.
