The Shield & Sword Of Apologetics

What two horns of apologetics does Oliphint want Christians to consider – the shield & sword of apologetics. That is one that is negative apologetics and the other of apologetics. Obviously, we are not viewing these types as good and bad, but in regard as to what they do. We look at the problem of evil and see how a consistent Christian does not feign neutrality but also keeps the type of critique in focus consistently.
