what's the point of apologetics

Know you know:

"If one were to describe the whole orthodox apologetic effort in one single sentence, but also with categorical precision, one might say that it has the intent to make Christianity plausible.  To this one might add that, if it were to succeed, then this effort would have the ironical fate that precisely upon the day of triumph it would have lost everything and entirely quashed Christianity ...  To make Christianity plausible is the same as to misinterpret it" (Soren Kierkegaard, Book on Adler).
