William Lane Craig has a newish, 30-page essay online, which you can read in PDF or HTML. He interacts with Richard Dawkins’s The God Delusion. Craig makes five arguments for God’s existence: (1) the cosmological argument (from contingency); (2) the kalam cosmological argument (based on the beginning of the universe); (3) the moral argument (based upon objective moral values and duties); (4) the teleological argument (from fine-tuning); (5) the ontological argument (from the possibility of God’s existence to his actuality). So if you’re looking for a concise introdu...

Question: Can you tell me what double predestination is and if it’s biblical? If predestination means God chooses before the foundation of the earth, who will be his (the elect), those who will go to heaven. If this is true, how can it also be true that the rest are not predestined to go to hell? There are only 2 alternatives.

Answer:  I think we need to come to a definition of...

“We believe neither by our own nor by anyone else’s judgment that Scripture is from God; but above human judgment we affirm with utter certainty (just as if we were gazing upon the majesty of God himself) that it has flowed to us from the very mouth of God by the ministry of men.

Why? Because there is only one Word of God....

Continuing his series on the new atheism, Dr. Douglas Groothuis explains and counters the new atheists’ claim that the New Testament is historically unreliable. The New Testament: Historically Untrustworthy? Part of the new atheism’s attack on religion and Christianity is not new at all — namely, its charge that the Bible is a collection of pre-scientific myths and legends. Beyond this, Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris and others claim that the Bible gives downright immoral advice and should, therefore, be utterly rejected. While a short article cannot adequately...

Truth is so obscured nowadays, and lies so well established, that unless we love the truth, we shall never recognize it. — Blaise Pascal Staring Truth in the Face “Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.” Jesus Christ made this statement after Pontius Pilate had interrogated him prior to the crucifixion (John 18:37 NIV). Pilate then famously replied, “What is truth?” and left the scene. As philosopher Francis Bacon wrote in his essay “On Truth”: “What is truth?” said jesting Pilate; and would not stay for an answer. Although Jesus made ...
