Apologetics of all kinds benefit from summaries of complex work.

Most Marxists haven’t read Das Kapital, and rely on summaries.

New work in apologetics is very rare. Summarizing the old arguments in new ways is how it’s done.

This is something AI is very good at, and getting better.

You can argue that rational summaries don’t produce conversions. And you’re right.

But the purpose of apologetics is to remove rational barriers to conversion, not force someone kicking and screaming.
