[First]A General View in The Use of Apologetics            
It was diffecult to find references to the Apologetics as a sience without the help of Trinity school , although the old history of the Apologetics , the real scientific bases and rules , were not common 6*, in the old Systematic Theology of "C.Hodge" ,who was fond and interested in the Apologetic style , that he published his book in a leading questions forms ,that the modern Apologetics uses today , but he did not reveal the rules and the bases , which must be followed to establish this kind of Christian proclamation , to the facts of our Gosple . Apologetics is a branch of Theology , which study How to face the Criticism , Rationalism and the Unbelievers , to stop their attacks , and help them to take a positive attitude , towards the Christianity 2*. The word "Apologetics" comes from The Greek word "apolgia" which means " making defense" therefore the "Apologetics" means " a formal defense " . We must observe many principles or bases :- (1) The Holy Bible and The Holy Spirit are sufficient to lead us to the real faith which shall not move . (2) The message of the apologetics is to help the sincere unbelievers .        (3)Its message is to stop the attacks of the enemies and the wicked unbelievers , The apologetics is qualified to do that because :- (a) The attackers opinions are wrong because it is built upon wrong bases , they used usually a scientific expressions about a scientific conclusion which was built upon a wrong principles we observe that while we were studying the opinions of the Critics in concern of the "Torah " they built their conclusion on an idea that , the written Hebrew language were known in a later times . (b) some attackers built their opinion on a false  receivable bases , with a false assumptions , that leads to a false theory like " The evolution Theory " of " Darwin" .
[Second]The Use of The Apologetics to face The Unbelievers attacks. 
 3*It is very helpful to use the wisdom of Dr., J.C.Philp and Dr., Saneesh Charian , in order to have the right attitude , by setting apart Christ as a Lord in our hearts , to answer for the reason concerning the hope , that is in us , by placing  Christ on the throne of one's mind , but with meekness and fear , which means the humility and fear of God , not for competition or to establish superiority , nor to defeat and silence people , or thinking that our answers is the end of our defense , or trying to prove " the Bible " or "The Existence of God "rationally . We have many ways to reach to our goal ,4* the leading questions helped us , but it may definitely lead every one to the ultimate goal , to conserve time , lead into a definite direction , reach to the root of the problem and convince the respondent . The experience and insight , will help the Apologetic to compose his leading questions .                                                                                           The bibliography,
