Collision Movie: Douglas Wilson & Christopher Hitchens
A few years ago I edited a book on which I was privileged to have Douglas Wilson as a contributor. Pastor Wilson is a smart, quick-witted fellow who really knows how to have a good, clean, honest debate. That is one reason why I so enjoyed following the dialogue he carried out with atheist intellectual Christopher Hitchens over their rival books, God Is Not Great and Letter from a Christian Citizen(although the letter was directly in response to Sam Harris). It turns out that a movie called Collision has been made about the series of joint appearances & debates that Wilson and Hitchens have … [Read more...] about Collision Movie: Douglas Wilson & Christopher Hitchens
Mike Huckabee Interviews Pro-Life Advocate Kathy Ireland
Speaking of a compelling, pro-life case, author Kathy Ireland, a former super-model and adult convert to Christianity, recently gave an outstandingly winsome pro-life apologetic on the Mike Huckabee show. One key quote: "If the unborn is not a human being, have as many abortions as you want, whenever you want, no justification is necessary. If, on the other hand, the unborn is a human being, then no justification is adequate unless another human life is at risk, that being the mother's. But then you are not acting to kill you are acting to save another life." Watch the video for the … [Read more...] about Mike Huckabee Interviews Pro-Life Advocate Kathy Ireland
Albert Mohler’s New Book: The Disappearance of God
Dr. Albert Mohler's latest book, The Disappearance of God: Dangerous Beliefs in the New Spiritual Openness, was just released yesterday by Multnomah. The publisher's description of this 208 page hard cover book: For centuries the church has taught and guarded the core Christian beliefs that make up the essential foundations of the faith. But in our postmodern age, sloppy teaching and outright lies create rampant confusion, and many Christians are free-falling for 'feel-good' theology. We need to know the truth to save ourselves from errors that will derail our faith. As biblical scholar, … [Read more...] about Albert Mohler’s New Book: The Disappearance of God
Notre Dame Out of Step With Public on Obama Honorary Degree
Rasmussen Reports, an outstandingly reliable, unbiased poling agency, conducted a recent survey to determine public opinion on Notre Dame's decision to award an honorary Doctor of Law degree to President Barack Obama during this spring's Commencement service. Their finding: Fifty-two percent (52%) of Americans nationwide say the University of Notre Dame should have followed guidelines set by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and refrained from awarding an honorary degree to President Obama. By a 60% to 25% margin, U.S. Catholics say the university should not award an honorary degree to … [Read more...] about Notre Dame Out of Step With Public on Obama Honorary Degree
Mark Dever Interviews Ken Myers on Christians and Culture
For years now I have enjoyed Ken Myers' cultural commentary. His Mars Hill Audio Journal is in many ways a thoughtfully Christian version of NPR's All Things Considered. Myers is consistently clear-headed, erudite and relevant. In this hour-long interview, Mark Dever covers a wide variety of topics with Mr. Myers. Most interestingly, they discuss the impact of culture on Christians, our fascination with culture, and whether cultural accommodation by the church is healthy for Christians (and, in turn, the communities in which they live). Check it out. HT: JT … [Read more...] about Mark Dever Interviews Ken Myers on Christians and Culture
