It can take many forms: philosophical, polemical, scientific, and Scriptural along with others forms as well. It has existed since New Testament times and grew as a discipline in both the Patristic and Medieval periods of the Christian Church.
When apologetics were done in early Lutheranism, polemics were often intertwined. In the days of the Reformation, it usually wasn’t enough to defeat your opponent with cool, reasoned logic; the conventions of that day often required you to swing at your opponent with a ‘brick bat’ as well.
Lutheranism, from its inception has been an apologetically active Church. Martin Luther's speech at the Diet of Worms, The Augsburg Confession, it's Apology and the Smalcald Articles, Chemnitz's Examination of the Council of Trent and Chemnitz and Andreae’s Catalog of Testimonies defended the pure Gospel against the errors of Calvin, Islam, Judaism, Rome, various sectarians and superstition.
As the Reformation progressed, Lutheranism continued to face various challenges. It persevered in responding to Roman Catholicism, Calvinism and fanatical groups such as the Anabaptists on one hand and non-Christian groups such as Judaism and Islam on the other. Luther himself responded to all of these, some to a lesser degree, others to a greater degree.
