%X Avec ses r¨¦ussites et ses ¨¦checs, le XIXe si¨¨cle fut assur¨¦ment le si¨¨cle de l¡¯apolog¨¦tique. Face aux grands d¨¦fis du d¨¦veloppement de l¡¯ex¨¦g¨¨se historico-critique et du progr¨¨s des sciences, les chr¨¦tiens ¨¦taient convaincus que l¡¯existence m¨ºme du christianisme, voire de la religion en g¨¦n¨¦ral, ¨¦tait en jeu, et ses d¨¦fenseurs se firent l¨¦gions. Chaque option apolog¨¦tique, chaque lieu de combat choisi par les apologistes est un r¨¦v¨¦lateur pour l¡¯historien : l¡¯apolog¨¦tique offre un point de vue int¨¦ressant pour appr¨¦hender les rapports entre le christianisme et la culture, elle est une interface qui a pour horizon la conversion. Car la conversion individuelle est assur¨¦ment au centre de toute m¨¦thode apolog¨¦tique.   C¡¯est mon affaire que ta conversion  , pourrait r¨¦p¨¦ter l¡¯apolog¨¨te. Mais la conversion est-elle le but de l¡¯apolog¨¦tique ? Poser la question, c¡¯est d¨¦j¨¤ laisser entendre que cette ¨¦vidence peut ¨ºtre discut¨¦e ¨C comme le montre cet article ¨¤ travers l¡¯apolog¨¦tique chr¨¦tienne de la seconde moiti¨¦ du XIXe si¨¨cle. With its success and its failures, the XIXth century was undoubtedly the century of apologetics. In front of challenges of the development of historico-critical exegesis and the progress of science, Christians were convinced that the existence of the Christianity, even the religion generally, was at stake, and its defenders were made legions. Each option apologetic, each place of combat chosen by the apologists is an indicator for the historian: apologetics provides a useful perspective for understanding the relationship between Christianity and culture, it is an interface that has for horizon the conversion. Individual conversion is certainly central to any apologetic method.   It is my affair that your conversion  , could repeat the apologist. But is the conversion the purpose of apologetics ? To ask the question is already suggesting that this evidence can be discussed ¨C as shown in this article through Christian apologetics in the second half of the XIXth century
