I have never heard of the german rationalists but I have studied apologetics and I have found the orthodox apologists wanting in terms of what satisfies my rational process and world view. On what basis can you simply say their truths are half-truths? Just like Photon said people can come from the same background, look at the same information and come to vastly different conclusions. Nobody is attacking anyone, defensive posturing or critcizing beliefs by lumping them into schools of thought that you disagree with is not a valid argument. I could say the same for you. Are you so ingrained in your beliefs that you lack the ability to measure the assertions of your faith against those who would question your beliefs etc? I think you are perfectly able to do so, you have just come to a different conclusion that satisfies your beliefs.
