Does anyone know of any good Christian apologists who specialize with Biblical issues that I could contact online?

telling from wikipedia only as a normal christian, i.e. non-professional without a degree, I found out.. there is so much material there, a complete science..

if I had to ask someone from the political domaine, just to have a sort of any contemporary filter of a modern society for a comparison that might be rational, about European christendom mainly - I would probably spot the Party of the Bible-loyal christians (in Germany the PBC) that is on international level called "EPCM" and highlight, what they are up to, as they are known for wanting the Jews on top for world regime.. this can't be too shallow work, or could it..

but most certain I would go out and begin to study really about religious history to get the gist of the interreligious discussion.. just because it is so much, that I don't know, that I don't know.. so to get further to what I know, what I don't know.. or something like that.. so to be able to ask questions in an intelligent way.. just to get to grips at least with the matter itself..

for example - how to understand just this as follows, without having studied theology nor philosophy yet.. ?
Christian apologetics is the field of study concerned with the systematic defense of Christianity. The term "apologetic" comes from the Greek word apologia (απολογία), which means in defense of. Therefore, a skilled person involved in Christian or Bible Apologetics is a defender of Christianity. Those who engage in Christian apologetics are called "Christian apologists". Christian apologetics have taken many forms over the centuries, starting with Paul of Tarsus, including writers such as Augustine of Hippo and Thomas Aquinas, and continuing currently with the modern Christian community, through the efforts of many authors in various Christian traditions such as C.S. Lewis. Apologists have based their defense of Christianity on favoring interpretations of historical evidence, philosophical arguments, scientific investigation, and other disciplines.

This Classical Greek term appears in the Koine (that is, common) Greek of the New Testament. The apostle Paul employed the term "apologia" in his trial speech to Festus and Agrippa when he said, "I make my defense" (Acts 26:2). In the English language, the word apology, derived from the Greek word "apologia", usually refers to asking for forgiveness for an action that is open to blame. Christian apologetics are meant, however, to argue that Christianity is reasonable and in accordance with the evidence that can be examined, analogous to the use of the term in the Apology of Socrates, written by Plato.

I mean, I made the effort to read for example Karl-Heinz Deschner - a major persecutor of the roman catholic church in his work about "crimestory of the Vatikan" - just so to be able to "understand" what a former Jesuit is criticising and in the latter to "understand" what probable enemies of "my" faith would have to argue, if I had to prepare for being myself some kind of apologist.. that was my motivation, honestly.. and because "false friends" in Germany have the most fancyful allegations on me, being a naive idiot who is a roman catholic and that on a wannabe-academic level, because those are just trolling about (because in contrary I have also some friends who are also theologists, also protestant theologian or friends who have studied philosphy, literature, law.. so I am to be able to differentiate them from those) so I know, but those opposing me from a state of being rather militant atheists.. or let me say red-socks from a generation called the 68ers enthusiastics, highly politically motivated to destroy anything that could interfering with their inauthenticity being pacefistic/non-pacefistic revolutionists, who of course can not accept anything of values brought about from society through history or evolution ( ;) ), laughing about religion just as it would be only folklore, talking about church's power and abuse of their sheeps.. so, I guess it is important to know, who throws the stone on whom - is it about defending christianity, or the roman catholic religion or the theism itself.. or even refering to the dialog between all religions..

there is so much written about.. :confused:
