Di kalangan [[Kristen]], Apologetika dimengerti sebagai ilmu mengenai pembelaan [[iman]] [[Kristen]]. <ref name="a"/> Ilmu ini berusaha menjawab pernyataan sikap kaum [[skeptisisme]] yang meragukan keberadaan Allah atau menyerang kepercayaan kepada Allah yang terdapat dalam [[Alkitab]]. <ref name="a"/> Pembelaan ini dapat ditunjukkan kepada pemeluk agama yang lain, aliran Kristen yang lain, warga komunitas sendiri yang ragu-ragu atau kepada orang beriman biasa yang ingin mengerti bahwa iman mereka dapat dipertanggungjawabkan. <ref name="b">{{Cite web|url=http://www.carmelia.net/index.php/artikel/tanya-jawab-iman/535-teologi-apologetikas|title= Teologi Apologetika}} </ref>
 
Christian [[apologetics]] have taken many forms over the centuries, starting with [[Paul the Apostle]] in the [[Early Christianity|early church]] and [[Patristic]] writers such as [[Origen]], [[Augustine of Hippo]], [[Justin Martyr]] and [[Tertullian]], then continuing with writers such as [[Thomas Aquinas]] and [[Anselm of Canterbury]] during [[Scholasticism]]. [[Blaise Pascal]] was an active Christian apologist before the [[Age of Enlightenment]], and in the modern period, Christianity was defended through the efforts of many authors such as [[G. K. Chesterton]] and [[C. S. Lewis]]. In contemporary times Christianity is defended through the work of figures such as [[Richard Swinburne]], [[J. P. Moreland]], [[Ravi Zacharias]], [[Robert Hutchinson (author)|Robert Hutchinson]], [[John Lennox]], [[Douglas Wilson (theologian)|Doug Wilson]], [[Lee Strobel]], [[Francis Collins]], [[Hugh Ross (astrophysicist)|Hugh Ross]], [[Henry M. Morris]], [[Alister McGrath]], [[Ken Ham]], [[Alvin Plantinga]], [[Frank Turek]] and [[William Lane Craig]]. Beyond Europe and North America, Christian apologetics is less popular and not so widely publicized.
 
== Etimologi ==
Kata ''apologetika'' sendiri berasal dari bahasa Yunani kuno ''apologia'' (ἀπολογία) yang secara umum berarti "pembelaan" <ref name="a"/> Bentuk kata kerjanya yaitu ''apologoumai'' (ἀπολογέομαι) memiliki arti "melakukan suatu pembelaan; berbicara untuk membantah", baik untuk merespon tuduhan maupun tuntutan dalam sidang pengadilan.<ref name="a"/>
 
Penggunaan 'apologia' mengambil bentuk sastra pada tulisan Kristen mula-mula sebagai contoh integrasi orang Kristen berpendidikan ke dalam kehidupan budaya [[Kekaisaran Romawi]], terutama selama [[:en:Little Peace of the Church|"masa tenang sesaat" pada abad ke-3]],<ref>Kevin Butcher, ''Roman Syria and the Near East'' (Getty Publications, 2003) p. 378.</ref> dan partisipasi mereka pada gerakan intelektual Yunani yang dikenal luas sebagai [[:en:Second Sophistic|Sofistik Kedua]].<ref>Graham Anderson, ''The Second Sophistic: A Cultural Phenomenon in the Roman Empire'' (Routledge, 1993, 2003), p. 203.</ref> Apologet Kristen pada Gereja mula-mula tidak menolak [[filsafat Yunani]], tetapi berupaya untuk menunjukkan nilai positif Kekristenan dalam kaitan dinamis dengan tradisi rationalis Yunani.<ref>Jacobsen, "Apologetics and Apologies,'' p. 6.</ref>
<!--
In the 2nd century, apologetics was a defense or explanation of Christianity,<ref>Jacobsen, "Apologetics and Apologies,'' p. 8.</ref> addressed to those standing in opposition and those yet to form an opinion, such as [[Roman emperor|emperors]] and other authority figures, or potential converts.<ref name="Jacobsen p. 14">Jacobsen, "Apologetics and Apologies,'' p. 14.</ref> The earliest [[Acts of the Martyrs|martyr narrative]] has the spokesman for the persecuted present a defense in the apologetic mode: Christianity was a rational religion that worshiped only God, and although Christians were law-abiding citizens willing to honor the emperor, their belief in a single divinity prevented them from taking the loyalty oaths that acknowledged the [[Imperial cult (ancient Rome)|emperor's divinity]].<ref>Maureen A. Tillby, "North Africa", in ''Cambridge History of Christianity: Origins to Constantine'' (Cambridge University Press, 2006), vol. 1, p. 388, citing the ''[[Scillitan Martyrs|Martyrum Scillitanorum Acta]]''.</ref>
 
The apologetic [[historiography]] in the ''[[Acts of the Apostles]]'' presented Christianity as a religious movement at home within the Roman Empire and no threat to it and was a model for the first major [[church history|historian of the Church]], [[Eusebius]].<ref>Margaret M. Mitchell, "Gentile Christianity," p. 107, and "Emergence of the Written Record" p. 193, in ''Cambridge History of Christianity'', vol. 1.</ref> Apologetics might also be directed to Christians already within the community explain their beliefs and justify positions.<ref name="Jacobsen p. 14"/> [[Origen]]'s apologetic ''[[Celsus|Contra Celsum]]'', for instance, provided a defense against the arguments of a critic dead for decades to provide answers to doubting Christians lacking immediate answers to the questions raised. Apologetic literature was an important medium for the formation of early Christian identity.<ref>Jacobsen, "Apologetics and Apologies,'' p. 14 ''et passim''.</ref>

Selain [[Origenes]] dan [[Tertullian]], apologet Kristen mula-mula termasuk [[Yustinus Martir]], [[Klemens dari Alexandria]], dan pengarang [[:en:Epistle to Diognetus|Surat kepada Diognetus]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Dulles|first=Avery Robert Cardinal|title=A History of Apologetics|year=2005|publisher=Ignatius Press|location=San Francisco|isbn=0898709334|pages=31–42}}</ref> [[Augustinus dari Hippo]] adalah seorang apologet penting pada zaman [[:en:Patristics|Patristik]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Dulles|first=Avery Robert Cardinal|title=A History of Apologetics|year=2005|publisher=Ignatius Press|location=San Francisco|isbn=0898709334}}</ref>
 
Sejumlah sarjana menganggap apologetika adalah suatu [[:en:literary genre|genre sastra]] tersendiri yang mempunyai keunikan gaya dan bentuk, isi, dan strategi [[argumentasi]]. Yang lain memandangnya sebagai suatu bentuk [[:en:discourse|pengajaran]] dengan ciri khas [[:en:Tone (literature)|nada]] dan guna.<ref name="Jacobsen pp. 19">Jacobsen, "Apologetics and Apologies,'' pp. 19–20.</ref>
