"The church before Christendom wasn't propped up by cultural Christianity, and Christians in many parts of the world today walk with God just fine with no need for cultural crutches. Yes, Christendom may be an asset to Christianity in terms of plausibility structures, making it a live wire in a sociological sense. But theologically we must never assume cultural Christianity supplies the electricity." (Trevin Wax)

"...it is evident by surveying three prominent apologists within the history of the discipline that what this volume has labeled cultural apologetics should be seen as an apologetic retrieval rather than a novel invention." (Joshua Chatraw)
Great chapter surveying the similarities between Augustine, Pascal and C. S. Lewis's apologetic impulses and "cultural apologetics."

"...the Bible itself is the apologetic. It's the shape of the biblical story, expressed most simply and sparsely in the four moments of creation, fall, redemption, and consummation, and also a rich, multi-layered, and exceedingly complex story as we delve into its details. It's the story of reality, the story of the universe in which we actually happen to live, that does the apologetic heavy lifting." (Chris Watkin)
