The Danger of the Secular Ideologue

February 2, 2022 by Randal

Over the last twenty years, we have heard a lot about the danger of religious ideology. What is often missing in the conversation is the fact that secularist ideology is equally dangerous. In 1997, secularist Nicholas Humphrey delivered the Oxford Amnesty Lecture which he titled “What shall we tell the children?” (Published in Social Research, […]

Reflecting on the Nature of Hell in a Bathroom Warning Sign

January 25, 2022 by Randal

The other day, I noticed this sign on the bathroom wall at work. Theologians can find theology in just about anything and this sign is a great example. I’m going to talk about the sign in a minute, but first I want to talk about sin and punishment. There are two popular basic views when […]

Why It is OK for a Christian Apologist to have Doubts: A Response to James White

January 23, 2022 by Randal

James White recently criticized apologist Mike Licona for saying he was 80% certain that Christianity was true. White went on to suggest that you shouldn’t be an apologist unless you are certain. In this video, I offer a reply. ?

Hell: A Christian and Atheist Discuss the Doctrine of Divine Judgment

January 21, 2022 by Randal

In this video, Ben Watkins of Real Atheology presents some of his thoughts on the problem of hell and I offer a response as a Christian theologian. We agree about some things, disagree about others. But through it all we seek to model irenic and rigorous conversation and a search for mutual understanding.

Your Moral Character Resides Not Simply In What You’ve Done But In Who You Are

January 21, 2022 by Randal

As the saying goes, “there but for the grace of God go I.” People typically evaluate their moral standing based on what they’ve done. But that is a faulty measure because your standing rests ultimately not only on what you’ve done but on who you are. For example, you may never have betrayed a friend, […]

William Lane Craig’s Homophobia

January 13, 2022 by Randal

In this article, I’m going to respond to an article by William Lane Craig titled “A Christian Perspective on Homosexuality.” The article uses a range of terms that are generally rejected in current discourse including “homosexual,” “practicing homosexual,” and “homosexual lifestyle.” Any good apologist should know that good apologetics begins by avoiding causing unnecessary offense […]
