If you want to know why christians believe some normative principle x - then you don't even need christian apologetics. The christians didn't - they borrowed those explanations in every single case.
Also fair. I suppose, after thinking about it, I'm not entirely sure what it is I'm looking for. I already know what christians believe - I was one for decades. I suppose I'm still holding onto the thread that there's something convincing that I am missing - perhaps to clear my conscience a little for holding on so long to something that has no basis in evidence.
