Whenever I hear a phrase or sentence that has become something of a cliché, my first thought is whether or not it’s true.

Troy Anderson, writing in Christianity Today, notes a renewed interest in apologetics (the defense of Christianity and the Christian worldview), especially among younger people. He’s right!
