Apologetics Systematic Theology Lutheran


While contemporary understanding of an apology is that of expressing sorrow over something done wrong, in Christian theology it involves the traditional meaning of a defense, specifically against the attacks of non-believers. The "apology" is normally a rationally constructed, fairly detailed statement.Related in some minds is what is known as Comparative Religion, which involves a side-by-side look at different belief systems. Some think of it as the science of religion, others place it between the history and the philosophy of religion. It is not a traditional part of Lutheran theology, however, since it often tends to be value-neutral in its comparisons, while Apologetics and Polemics are, by nature, biased toward what is believed to be the best or the only true belief.
