Christmas, Virgin Mary, and the Problem of Child Brides

December 22, 2021 by Randal

There are certain questions that linger in the shadows of Christian faith. Due to their awkward, difficult, disturbing implications, we are reluctant to ask them. And the Christmas story has been a catalyst for many such questions. For an earlier generation under the sway of modernist skepticism about miracles, the doubts often centered on whether […]

When Jesus Exorcised Demons Was He Really Healing Epilepsy?

November 23, 2021 by Randal

In my latest video, I address the fact that some accounts of exorcism within the Gospels are described in a manner suggestive of epilepsy.

Should you have a conversation with your inner atheist?

October 14, 2020 by Randal

This article provides a brief general introduction to my most recent book. I grew up in a church in which the status of your Christian faith was measured by the strength of your conviction. The serious Christian knew all the answers and had no doubts. And so, when I began to have doubts and to […]

August 23, 2020 by Randal

The first review for Conversations with My Inner Atheist is out. Counter Apologist got a copy yesterday and reviewed it this morning. Wowsers, that’s fast. It’s also a very positive review. This is important because the purpose of the book is to steelman objections to my beliefs, so the fact that my exercise passed muster with […]
