My friend thought I had slightly missed the point, or at least missed a point that should be made. In today’s “On the Square” column, The Apologetic Substitute , I relay my friend’s insights into the danger of replacing culture and with argument, and respond with some thoughts on the Pharisaical temptations of apologetics.
A note to young writers: find bright, interesting friends who’ll read you and respond. That will make your life much easier.
