I am convinced that the consistent New Testament witness is that pastoral ministry minimally involves both the engagement with and the refutation of ideas and patterns of thinking that are contrary to the Gospel. While a fully-orbed, New Testament portrait of pastoral ministry involves much more than apologetic ministry, it most certainly involves nothing less.
The defense of the gospel is often reduced to a practice of knowledge deciding the meaning of Christianity However we would do better to let relationship with God provide us a true example of knowledge.
