Summary

There are several main types of apologetics, including classical, evidential and presuppositional. While presuppositional apologetics can be good, there are many bad examples as well. A good example of a presuppositional apologetic would be one in which there is internal consistency, where one matches his or her conclusions with the presupposition, and where one can show inconsistency between non-Christian assumptions and desired conclusions. If this occurs, we can show friends the need for a different starting point, a different underlying and foundational belief. As we examine bad examples alongside the good, we can better use this type of apologetic in our own lives.
