New forms of apologetic thinking in the context of the challenge of religious and cultural pluralism

Annotation

The article analyzes new approaches and forms of Christian apologetics in a globalized and pluralistic world, on which the famous modern theologians Harold Netland and Paul Griffiths are focusing their attention. As these authors try to prove, apologetics today can play a vital role in building harmonious and constructive relations between religions, despite the fact that in the era of religious pluralism it is often considered counterproductive. The development of updated forms of apologetic thinking, they believe, will allow for more effective solution of spiritual problems and respond to modern challenges.

Keywords
