A Little Primer on Humble Apologetics

James W. Sire

We've all felt the tension. An opportunity to speak for Christ comes up, and either we jump in with both barrels blasting or we cower in the corner and say nothing. Is there a better way? Can we learn to speak boldly, yet humbly, about our faith in Christ? Jim Sire offers a little primer on understanding the nature and limits of apologetics.
