Winger addresses the claim that Paul's 'not with words of eloquent wisdom' (1 Cor 1:17) condemns the use of apologetics. He argues this is a misreading: Paul is saying his persuasion was not merely rhetorical — the gospel itself had power in Corinth. Acts shows Paul regularly reasoning and persuading. Apologetics serves as a 'crowbar' to open doors, but the gospel message itself is what saves.

Here's Me Using the Bible to Prove the Bible

Winger's illustration: apologetics is like the jaws of life — it opens the door for someone to receive help, but it is not the thing that actually saves. Salvation comes through the gospel (Christ crucified, sin resolved through Christ). This keeps apologetics in its proper place without dismissing it.
