Christian Apologetics Alliance

answering seekers, equipping Christians, and demonstrating the truth of the Christian worldview

Environmentalism, Creation Care, & Christianity

by

Today is Thanksgiving here in Canada and one thing I am especially thankful for is this beautiful world God has gifted us. (1) But Christianity has a questionable history when it comes to how we should care for our home, at least in common perception today. It is a topic, which sadly, is too often neglected by Christian apologists. … [Read more...]

Politics from a Christian Perspective

by

I am typically not a political writer. I write on Christian apologetics and do my best to assist people in their understanding of their Christian faith and how to best defend it. However, since the political scene is rather active with the Presidential debates and the Presidential election taking place within one month, I thought it might be a good idea to touch on how … [Read more...]

A Brief Word on Atheism, Pineapples, and Shunned Messages

by

The Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science tweeted a story this morning that caught my attention. I follow them for informational purposes, and occasionally something interesting comes to my feed from them. This particular story was about an atheist society getting kicked out of a freshman club fair for displaying a pineapple and naming it "Mohammed". Yes. A … [Read more...]

Christ: Perfect Divine, Perfect Human

by

In Tertullian's (c. 160 – c. 225 AD) De carne Christi, we read “Was not God really crucified? And, been really crucified, did He not really die? And, having indeed really died, did He not really rise again?” How is this possible? We seldom ponder in depth the splendid and scandalous oxymoron of a born, died and risen God when we proclaim that Jesus died for us. Early Christians … [Read more...]

Convince Me There’s a God

by

So, you don't believe there's a God. I understand. I didn't believe in God either, until May of 1971. Most atheists I've talked with about the existence of God during the last 40 years have expressed their concern for me in one way or another. Some have asked if I was ill and on heavy medication at the time of my conversion. Others said I must have been a very poor atheist … [Read more...]

Rejecting Claims Because They Have Inconvenient Implications

by

Often peo­ple rea­son as follows: (1) If claim C is true, X is the case. (2) I find X dif­fi­cult, incon­ve­nient, repul­sive, or unde­sir­able in some other way. (3) (So) claim C is false. Of course, this isn’t a valid argu­ment. It’s miss­ing a premise: (4) If I find X dif­fi­cult, incon­ve­nient, repul­sive, or unde­sir­able in some other way, X is not the case. Premise … [Read more...]

The Evolution of Adam: Was He Real? (A Book Review)

by

  I have waited for this book for a long time. Peter Enns has recently written a very controversial book entitled The Evolution of Adam: What the Bible Does and Doesn’t Say About Human Origins. As one might already guess, for a Christian to put the term “evolution” and “Adam” together in an implied affirmative manner will, no doubt, churn heated discussion, especially … [Read more...]

How to Respond to the Gospel of Jesus' Wife

by

Did Jesus Have a Wife? So your skeptical friend just heard about something called, "The Gospel of Jesus’ Wife." But unlike the fiction Dan Brown created in the Da Vinci Code, this wasn't in a movie or a novel. She just caught another sensational segment on the evening news talking about how controversial this new find is. And the media is jumping all over it. But this really … [Read more...]

The "False Gods" of Evangelicalism

by

On September 12, 2012, Rob Asghar wrote a blog post for the Huffington Post accusing evangelical Christianity of pledging allegiance to an unholy Trinity which he calls the idols of Mars, mammon and sexual purity. The idol of Mars refers to our allegedly bloodthirsty desire to resort to warfare when we should love our enemies instead. Our worship of mammon is illustrated … [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.
