One of the apologetic issues that is closest to my heart is that of what the Bible has to say about the nature of creation history. Over my years of study of the Christian faith and its defense, the reconciliation of science and faith has been one of my primary areas from the very beginning.
In part 1 of this Israel prophecy guide, we looked more deeply into a number of passages that many claim indicate a future restoration of the kingdom of Israel. We were able to conclude that a number of passages were either previously fulfilled or find their fulfilment in the New Testament. But there still remain a number
In my search for answers regarding many passages quoted and cited to me in discussions regarding Israel today, I have often been both over and underwhelmed at the approach many scholars have taken in addressing these topics. It can be very difficult to parse these passages and many resources deal with their explanation in vague
In the first installment in this series, we examined the importance of religious epistemology for the culture at large and for the Christian themselves and their families and communities. We also reviewed the history of Christian thought through the mid-twentieth century. In the second half, we will look at the cutting edge of the field

In discussions amongst Christians of all stripes regarding the doctrine and details of creation, the foremost disagreement is often that of interpretation of the creation days themselves; whether the six days of creation represent solar days or longer lengths of time. But a close second to this for many may very well be the question
A couple of weeks ago, as I was working on launching our brand new YouTube channel (which, by the way, you can find right here!) I was caught by surprise and reminded of a very important point. Oftentimes, when we get very close to and very deep into something, whether it be a new hobby, new
Imagine rifling through a musty attic and stumbling across a box of old pictures and mementos. Perhaps that box contains family records that show the lineage of your ancestors. Or maybe it contains stories of heroism or great courage and perseverance. We may not have pictures or keepsakes like this from the early Biblical patriarchs, but
