How often does Bradford attend these functions? No need to answer, I am just feeling a little evil this morning.

"Socrates was not apologizing for his actions," Peterson said. "He was defending and explaining them using reason and logic."

Which is precisely the objective of the religious apologist.

Does this provide room for the Holy Ghost?

The testimony of the Holy Ghost should be the base (IMO) for any LDS apologetics. Elsewise, the LDS apologetic may just become an ex-apologetic and and ex-mormon. This has happened more than once.

It appears you didn't finish reading the article. It specifically states needing a confirmation of the Holy Ghost and about apologetics it states;

You need to have a testimony that stands on its own, regardless of what anyone else says.

You already know the answer, I'm afraid.

Ramadan Kareem to you, as well.

I like what MsJack said here:

They do so in three ways: first, making a rational case for faith to unbelievers; second, defending the gospel against attacks; and third, strengthening the faithful. This is the three-fold nature of Christian apologetics.
