• Resumen

  • Theorists and critics agree that the apologia exists as a rhetorical genre and that apologiae are discourses in which individuals defend their characters. However, no detailed definition exists that allows specification of which materials should be identified as apologiae and which materials should not. This essay attempts to establish the generic boundaries of the apologia so that critics can treat apologetic products more effectively and with greater precision.
