The apologetics of C S Lewis: A Reformed theological reflection In this, the first part of a two part study in which the validity of C S Lewis's apologetics is evaluated from a Refonned perspective, the author considers various theological and philosophical criticisms that have been raised against the discipline of apologetics as such, and concludes that apologetics cannot be declared illegitimate in principle.
