Christian apologetics (Greek: ἀπολογία, "verbal defence, speech in defence")[1] is a field of Christian theology which aims to present a rational basis for the Christian faith, defending the faith against objections.
Apologists have based their defense of Christianity on historical evidence, philosophical arguments, and arguments from other disciplines. Christian polemic is a branch of apologetics aimed at criticizing or attacking other belief systems.[2][3] Terminology and origin[edit] Christian polemics[edit] In its strictest sense, an apologia is a defense against a prior attack, whether actual or merely perceived: Christian apologetics would arise from anti-Christian polemic. In the forced Disputation of Barcelona (1263) at the royal palace of King James I of Aragon, the Dominican friar Pablo Christiani, a convert from Judaism to Christianity, failed to prove the truth of Christianity from the Torah, Talmud and other rabbinical writings.
