Beginning in 1985 at Christian Research Institute, I produced the FYI research bulletin for years. Then I discovered the online universe in the late 1980s and began describing what I learned with the BBS-FYI. A growing conviction that my findings could be of value to many more people encouraged me to leave CRI in 1995 and launch Apologia to begin Apologia Report. AR combines the print focus of the FYI with the digital focus of the BBS-FYI -- and then some.

Trivia
The Apologia Report issue dates (which appear at the beginning of each edition under the volume and number detail) are not consistent in representing the date that an issue was actually released to the public. When they are wrong prior to 2005, the date is usually for the Wednesday or Thursday of the week prior. (This is the date the first draft was to be sent to the co-editor team. Too often its revision to reflect the true publication date was overlooked.)
Soon after we launched Apologia in '95 we started to work on what became (dated March 1996) a 12-page "proof of concept" introductory print edition of Apologia Report <www.bit.ly/2lZLQno> for potential supporters and foundations in order to help them understand what Apologia was all about. We never expected to actually begin publishing a monthly print version of AR. (That much additional work would have been too much for Pam and me.)

The total issue counting for AR above (top right) was just an exercise to demonstrate that the annual issue total really has been at least the 44 editions per year that we have as a target. This column total has intentionally not been updated.
