How Then Should We Do Apologetics?

(1) You can believe in God without any evidence. (2) Without God, you can’t know anything at all. These are perhaps the most controversial Christian claims of the 20th century.

This Is My Body: Part One

(Note: The following post was adapted from a paper I wrote for a Theology class. As such, much of its descriptions of different theological viewpoints are painted with very broad strokes. Still, I tried to keep them as accurate as possible)

Skinning Cats With The “New” Theology

Being at GodBlogCon this year, it’s ironic that I have nothing to blog about.
