APOLOGETICS DEFINED

'Apologetics is in the business of trying to create for the reader of goodwill a kind of temporary, virtual body for faith; one they can borrow and try out, so that they may have a concrete inkling of what it might be like to assent, long before they do.'
Francis Spufford, 'C.S.Lewis as apologist' in True Stories & Other Essays, p.165.
