Before we move to a sample dialog, one more biblical and theological point is necessary to remember. It is useful to think about the task of defending the faith as a task of “premeditated evangelism.” It is evangelism in that our goal is a defense of, and thus a communication of, the Christian faith. That point should be clear by now. It is also premeditated in that our defense includes our own thinking and analysis of the implications of our Christian faith to situations, problems, attacks, and objections that might come our way.
