“If apologetics becomes a fight over a system ... it becomes something
very different from the 'giving an answer' for faith that the New
Testament asks for. The struggle may not be waged for the sake of a
fight, but only for the sake of the truth. There must, therefore, never
be lust for victory in confrontation. Confrontations can easily be waged
in a manner that alienates faith from science without the believing
disputants even understanding the problems of science; quick
counterarguments are then not even taken seriously by the other side.
Apologetics may then celebrate some sort of victory, while in reality it
has only exposed its poverty.” — G. C. Berkouwer
