Well la-di-da! Last time I looked apologetics was only one discipline within a seminary curriculum. Apologetics [from "apologia", Greek for "defense"] refers to defending a position. The big guns in most seminary curricula are more proactive disciplines like studying the texts (preferably in their original languages), the cultural and historical context in which they were formed, and the developmental history of and critical analysis of the belief system (commonly called "theology", and of course homiletics [learnin' ta preach]. At one level apologetics can almost be done by rote learning, though of course you probably didn't study at that level. > So you really can't tell me anything I don't know, and I'm equally >sure that there are a lot of things I could tell you that you simply >don't wish to hear. That somehow does come off as just a wee bit arrogant, but of course I've been there myself--that's how I recognize is. > Last I heard, that's called a "Mexican Standoff."

[For the record, I'll see your apologetics and raise you some of the other disciplines. :-)] -- Don Kirkman donsno2(a)charter.net
