Mining for God

by

--- on TV this Saturday --- Brandon McGuire grew up with a Midwestern American view of Christianity. After college, though, he lived for three months in Africa, where he saw a very different kind of lived-out Christianity. When he came back to America, he started to pay more attention to what people think about Christianity. As he asked questions, both online and on the … [Read more...]

by

I have been quite excited to read Scott Klusendorf's The Case For Life: Equipping Christians to Engage the Culture (paperback, Kindle, GoodReads, Video Trailer, Interview, Life Training Institute).

Convince Me There’s A God – Archaeology 24

We are looking at what archaeological evidence was available in 1971 to support the writings of the Hebrew prophets in the Old Testament of the Bible. That’s when I was conducting an investigation, as an atheist, into the truth claims of theism and Christianity. We’ve seen evidence for the men who prophesied during the years of the kings of Israel and Judah and the evidence … [Read more...]

Who Wrote the Pastoral Letters Of The New Testament? Part 1 of 3

by

Back in the early 1990s while pastoring in a mainline denomination, I attended one of their liberal seminaries. It was there that I first encountered the idea that some of the books of the New Testament were not written by the authors that they said they were written by. At the time, I thought that this idea would never be more than an academic concern--an annoying issue among … [Read more...]

Apologetics is not my Thing

by

Brothers, sisters, and fellow apologists: how many times have we ever heard, "This is really interesting stuff, I'm glad someone is doing it." Or maybe, "I just don't have the brain for remembering all those facts; I haven’t been blessed with that.” Or even, “I don’t really feel called to be intellectual about the Bible, but I'm glad someone is called to talk to college … [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.
