In today’s reading you’ll hear Paul make a speech to a mob, and he starts it by telling them he’s going to make a defense — an apologia, an apologetic. I just point this out, because as Christian casemakers I think it’s useful for us to see how a master apologist handles himself, including the way his reasoning and persuasion evolves depending on who he’s addressing.
