An Apology for Apologetics

The book emphasizes the importance of a robust apologetics in fostering effective interreligious dialogue. Griffiths argues that individuals must passionately defend their own religious beliefs while remaining receptive to critiques from other faiths. He introduces the "NOIA principle," highlighting how acknowledging the need for interreligious apologetics challenges the assumptions held by many advocates of interfaith discussions. This work advocates for a balanced approach that respects both commitment to one's own faith and openness to others.
