Apologia

Apologia (from Greek ἀπολογία, "speaking in defense") is a formal defense of a position or action. The term's current religious currency derives from J.H. Newman's Book Apologia pro Vita Sua (Latin: A defense of one's own life), which presented a formal defense of the history of his Christian life leading to his acceptance by the Catholic Church in 1845. In modern usage, apologia describes a formal defense and should not be confused with the sense of the word 'apology' as the expression of regret.
