Augustine spoke of the “book of nature” which powerfully testifies to all of the Creator. In the book Sermons: 51-94 (New City Press, 1991) on p. 225-226, Augustine is recorded as saying, Some read a book to find God. But there is a great book: the spectacle of what has…

R. Lucas Stamps has a timely warning here on AI (artificial intelligence) and how it will potentially “stamp” out our humanity. He cautions that “If we allow AI to organize and develop our ideas, we’ll lose the ability to be thinking human beings.” Stamos warns of an emerging, real problem…

Is math discovered or invented? Does mathematical truth precede the universe? Where does mathematical truth reside? Math is a powerful apology that philosophically destroys materialism.

Lactantius was a Christian and an eyewitness to the Great Persecution of Diocletian and Galerius just prior to Constantine and the Edict of Milan in 313 which ended the persecution. His graphic description of the persecution of Christians is sobering, as well as his detailed account of the horrific end…

It is a work of great antiquity, lost for centuries until its discovery in a 17th century convent library in Moissac, France. In the 4th century, Jerome…

This scene where an unbelieving atheist psychiatrist encounters the demonic, is from the 2023 movie Nefarious – a powerful story about evil from the Christian worldview. There is much transcendent truth in this movie . . . truth that an unbelieving culture mocks and rejects. As our culture freefalls into…

C. S. Lewis, in The Weight Of Glory, was reflecting on the imago dei (image of God) and wrote, “There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations—these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat.…

The resurrection of Christ is the center of my apologetics. While I incorporate multiple other areas into my apologetics (i.e., classical, evidential, cultural, ecclesial, expository apologetics; the reliability of the NT manuscripts, the problem of evil, ethics, transcendent arguments from beauty, morality, etc.), those are all peripheral issues that I…

I view the moral argument for God as the most powerful apologetic argument. William Lane Craig agrees although his favorite argument is the Kalam Cosmological Argument. Soon, I will soon post my version of the moral argument, asserting that an objective, transcendent source for morality must exist or moral chaos…

I was asked to comment on this somewhat bizarre video wrestling with whether Jesus was “given an honorable burial.” The skeptic in this debate is apparently Ricky Brock (also known as CaptainDadPool), who also happens to be the volunteer Pennsylvania state director (?!) for American Atheists. (I did not know…
