Does he mean that a rational approach to *belief* is nonsensical because faith is non-rational? Thus, why do apologetics because people aren't saved by rational assent. This makes more sense.
Anyways, I would respond that
I. We are commanded to do apologetics
II. Proof (and hence apologetics) is not about persuasion.
III. There are many aspects of apologetics, and I think evangelism is one of them.
IV. With respect to III, we have no idea who the elect are, so we should use apologetics on any given person.
V. Apologetics is not just for non-Christians; it is for Christians as well. It can strengthen faith.
