French term or phrase: apologète
Voici la phrase :

La confiance dans la présence de l’Esprit et du Lógos en dehors des limites d’Israël, sur toute la terre, a conduit l’apologète Justin, au IIe siècle après Jésus Christ, à parler de lógos spermatikós, c’est-à-dire du Verbe en forme de semence, de graines de révélation disséminées dans les cultures, les recherches de Dieu et les religions des peuples.
