1 Peter 3:15 is the new testament verse which is most commonly associated with Christian apologetics.
The New Testament is where Christian apologetics are first mentioned. Christianity was already in conflict with Judaism and a number of other sects and religions in the Greco-Roman world during the subapostolic age. The True Word, a polemic by the Greek philosopher Celsus that criticized Christians as being unproductive members of society, was one of the first thorough attacks on Christianity.
He "Preaching of Peter" (Gospel of Peter) contains the earliest examples of Christian apologetics, but Quadratus of Athens is the author of the first explicitly apologetic work, in which he defends the Christian faith to the Roman emperor Hadrian. In response, the church father Origen published his apologetic treatise Contra Celsum, or Against Celsus, which methodically addressed Celsus's criticisms and helped elevate Christianity to a level of academic respectability.
