Barnabas used positive apologetics. A positive apologist offers his or her testimony to those who are hurting. You exude sympathy, and people in crisis are drawn to you. You are soft-spoken, kind, and your heart for others is a winsome tool for God to use.
To add on to this....
An example of negative apologetics would be Paul. His approach in discussing faith ended up in heated debates, yelling, feeling angry, and will result in failing to introduce the truth of Jesus Christ.
Contextual, or cultural apologetics is probably the best when mixed with positive apologetics to reach those in this world today. Using cultural apologetics you use current issues, crises, events, music, movies, or anything of that nature to get into a discussion of faith in Our Lord and Savior.

This word is not used in the King James Bible.
it isnt used in the bible
It isn't used in the Bible even once.
it is used over 200 times in the bible...
That word is not in the Bible.
The evidence used in evidential apologetics is supposed to be evidence both the believer and nonbeliever share, and does not presuppose God's existence. It seems that the nonbeliever is still expected to believe in the truth of the Bible and that because the Bible is 'true', the 'evidence' in the Bible is valid. As opposed to classical apologetics, there is less reliance on extra-biblical reasoning.
Many times the Bible speaks of certain places, peoples, people, items, and events. Through archeology, apologetics can have evidence to prove the accuracy of the Bible.

Apologetics means to defend something by use of intelligent argument. The Bible uses this word when it talks about when someone had an accusation against them (like court) the person had to defend himself by using intelligent arguments. So, apologetics has to do with defending the beliefs a person has.

There are different schools of thought regarding apologetics. The major types of Christian apologetics include: historical and legal evidential, presuppositional, philosophical, prophetic, doctrinal, biblical, moral, and, scientific apologetics. The general information and arguments contained in the aforementioned are by no means exhaustive. I am only a layperson who continuously studies the Bible. In politics, I do not engage in philosophical opinions. Likewise, with Christianity. However, I believe it is very important to be ready and equipped to proclaim the gospel and defend our faith As such, I refer you to the following link to assist you in formulating your own conclusion:
Yes reading the bible has a very large positive effect on the society as a whole.
