It’s called The Greatest Story Ever Told, which is nearly right. Nearer to the truth is: He is the greatest story ever told. Or as He himself put it: “I AM.” Jesus Christ is the single greatest reason to believe. In the end we’ll find He’s the only reason to believe, because all our reasons find their place in him—as they do from the beginning: ”I am the beginning and the end.” Apologetics begins with Jesus Christ for the quite good and simple reason that everything begins with Jesus Christ.

And it is precisely because apologetics begins with Jesus is apologetics is intellectually dishonest. It starts from a presumption, instead of starting from nothing and building itself towards what it wants to prove. Apologetics begins with Jesus being God’s sons and builds pseudo arguments around it to make the premise stand.
