In the Christian religion, Apologetics is a wide discipline that intersects with everything from archeology to zoology, and subjects as diverse as epistemology to quantum mechanics.

The Jewish Messiah) who would be slain and rise from the dead after three days. (Tablet Ignites Debate on Messiah and Resurrection”, July 6, 2008) |
