Nabeel Qureshi, Christian Apologist – and Bridge Between Christians and Muslims?

by

Introduction I am not usually a big fan of apologetics.  As a progressive Christian passionate about interreligious dialogue, far too often I have seen apologists distort other religious traditions, presenting them in an uncharitable light or only discussing their worst manifestations.  So when I picked up ex-Muslim and Christian apologist Nabeel Qureshi’s Seeking Allah, … [Read more...]

If All Religions Are Same, We Would Be Destroyed

by

Evangelism and the notion that all religions are the same are mutually exclusive. Uniqueness is an underlying belief in evangelism and conversion. A religion indulges in evangelism because of its uniqueness. The three major religions, Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism are actively evangelizing religions. The New Age movement, highly eclectic in its structure, converts people … [Read more...]

Quentin Tarantino’s Hateful Eight

by

Quentin Tarantino's latest movie has already won or been nominated for awards centered around script, casting and the soundtrack. In Hateful Eight, he has assembled a stellar cast that delivers sharp dialogue in the midst of yet another homage to a classic genre of film - in this case, the Western. Tarantino has a knack for capturing the bleak depravities of the human heart - … [Read more...]

Christian vs. Secular Ideology: The Power of the Resurrection

by

There is a war on today.  It's not a war of guns or bombs, but a war of ideas.  The war is about worldview.  The war is about the course of human history.  The war is about religion and the eviction of God from modern society. Battles rage on the horizon at this very moment.  We can hear the echoes and thuds in the distance.  We can feel the reverberations.  We can smell the … [Read more...]

Did Jesus Exist? (Part 3: Josephus)

by

Did Jesus exist? While a robust case can be made by appealing to the New Testament (NT) documents (see Evidence Unseen “Part Four,” 2013), in this series, we will only appeal to the hostile witnesses of history from outside of the NT. In previous articles, we considered the works of Cornelius Tacitus, as well as Pliny the Younger and Suetonius. In this article, we will consider … [Read more...]

Should Christians Favor the Death Penalty?

by

  Love and Christianity are apparently synonymous. If love is innate in Christianity, how should Christians view the death penalty? Pew Research Center reports 1 that Judaism and Buddhism oppose the death penalty. Hinduism holds no clear stance. Islam favors the death penalty. American atheists and agnostics are split almost equally on the death penalty. Pew … [Read more...]

Neil Gaiman’s Interworld Trilogy: Heroes And Cautionary Tales

by

I was first introduced to the writings of Neil Gaiman through Neverwhere, a dark, moving, parallel universe fantasy that takes place beneath the streets of London. As I further explored his writing, I found him to be constantly creative, often profound, and entirely capable of writing books for both adult and youth audiences (American Gods and The Ocean at the End of the Lane, … [Read more...]

Unity Statement

In essentials unity, in nonessentials liberty, in all things charity. The Christian Apologetics Alliance (CAA) is united in our Statement of Faith. The CAA does not, as an organization, have positions on many of the doctrinal or theological debates that take place within the church. Our primary concern is to promote the gracious, rational defense of the central claims of Christianity and the critique of opposing systems of thought. The CAA joyfully welcomes Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and diverse Protestant believers, and we are committed to treating all these traditions with respect in our community.
