"Here is the sum of the matter: We must earnestly endeavor to know the truth of the biblical worldview and to make it known with integrity to as many people as possible with the best arguments available. To know God in Christ means that we desire to make Christian truth available to others in the most compelling form possible. To be created in God’s rational, moral and relational image means that our entire being should be aimed at the glorification of God in Christian witness. A significant part of that witness is Christian apologetics." - Douglas Groothuis

I received this from a writer, editor friend of mine

FYI, I've gotten approval to include Christian Apologetics in the Bible/worldview portion of an upper-level high school curriculum I'm working on for Sonlight Curriculum (homeschool). If all goes as planned this will be out in spring 2013. In addition to scheduling the book over 36 weeks, I'll be writing detailed notes and commentary on it for students.
