It is based on the Greek word for defense, ἀπολογία (apologia). The word is used in 1 Peter 3:15, %22But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer (defense or %22apologia%22) to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect...%22 (NIV). Their logo, a triquetra, is an ancient symbol which has gained Christian use for the Holy Trinity.
