the transformative, theological, or moral and ethical doctrines of biblical exposition, there must be fixed parameters. Here are some of those parameters.

For Scriptural Apologetics, one must first begin with a sound theodicy (truth of God’s goodness and sovereignty in view of the existence of evil and human suffering) for who God is. Secondly, one would then need to utilize a reliable process for interpreting and defending the ancient text of Scripture or to competently represent the biblical worldview on theological topics such as the Existence of Evil, the Fact of Human Suffering and Pain, the Existence of God or Revelation of Himself in Christ, the Death and Resurrection of Christ, Sin, Eternal Salvation, Heaven and Hell, etc.

Thirdly, to more accurately form an apologetics for weighty moral topics and biblical theologies such as those listed, one’s apologetic process must include a sound inductive (evidential and objective) interpretation of those Scriptures addressing the laws, covenants and commands, principles and precepts, expectations, and all the theology and doctrine that comes with them. To inductively interpret any text or Scripture one must come to understand the context for the text of the author of origin (biblical, historical, language, and linguistic contexts).

Finally, one must grasp and embrace the original intent and meaning of the author to accurately re-contextualize the text back into the relevancy of present-day apologetics and worldview debate. There is no right way to defend or represent Scripture, its theology and doctrines, and the Biblical worldview without some sincere attempt and accomplishment of this type of hermeneutical process or one similar to it. These are just a few essential parameters for the right context for Scriptural Apologetics.”
