Here I share some thoughts on the dangers of being an apologist, and how Anselm can help us fight against them.   

Here is my commentary on Anselm's Proslogion: https://www.amazon.com/Anselms-Pursuit-Joy-Commentary-Proslogion/dp/0813232759/

This video starts are series of videos on theological triage, focusing on why it matters that we should rank different doctrines in the church.
