Here is a video by a self-described street apologist who critiques my critique of William Lane Craig on biblical atrocities. It was just uploaded in the last couple of days. I have viewed the first ten or so minutes to this point, and hope to listen to the rest later. Let me know what you […]

Could God command something morally heinous?
This article is excerpted from my 2016 book An Atheist and a Christian Walk into a Bar (Prometheus), coauthored with Justin Schieber. Support the authors and consider buying a copy! You won’t be disappointed. Well, okay, you might be disappointed — life gives no guarantees — but I’m betting you won’t be. Anyway, without further ado, let’s […]
Rauser v. Schieber-The 2017 Debate
On Friday, March 10th I met Justin Bieber Schieber for our second public debate. (The first one unfolded exactly two years ago on the campus of the University of Alberta. You can watch that match-up here.) This second debate occurred at Stencel Hall on the campus of Taylor Seminary in Edmonton. It also differed from […]
An Atheist and a Christian in Church
On March 11th, Justin Schieber and I had the privilege of taking over the Saturday evening service at Sherwood Park Alliance Church (SPAC) in Sherwood Park, Alberta. Some large suburban churches can feel a bit cold, but SPAC had a beautifully welcoming vibe. For an hour Pastor Greg Hochhalter fielded questions from the audience (via […]

Randal talks heaven on The Bob Dutko Show
I’ve been on The Bob Dutko Show several times now. Radio is a fast-paced medium as you gallop to make your points before the next commercial break. At the same time, it is a noble challenge because the medium forces you to state each point in what is little more than a glorified elevator speech. […]
17. Randal asks “Does Heaven Need a Makeover?”
In this episode of The Tentative Apologist Podcast I break with my usual practice of an interview / conversation. Instead, I’m featuring a talk I delivered at the OnWord Conference at Steele Heights Baptist Church in Edmonton, AB on September 28, 2013 titled “Does Heaven Need a Makeover?” In this talk I argue that common objections to heaven […]
Randal’s book on Heaven is now in stock at Amazon.com!
Randal interviews himself on his new book “What on Earth do we Know about Heaven?”
Last fall I interviewed myself upon the release of The Swedish Atheist, the Scuba Diver, and Other Apologetic Rabbit Trails. The interview was such a success that I determined I had to have myself back. It took awhile, but I finally managed to secure an interview with myself upon the release of my new book on […]
Randal interviewed on Apologetics 315
Randal (that’s me!) was interviewed last week by Brian Auten of the outstanding apologetics website Apologetics 315. The podcast is available on my home page, but I’ve included a direct link to the website here: http://www.apologetics315.com/2013/04/apologist-interview-randal-rauser.html Brian and I had a wide-ranging 36 minute conversation over a broad range of issues, so be sure to […]
God or Godless: The Interview
Good news folks. God or Godless is now in stock at Amazon and rapidly arriving at other booksellers around the globe. When my last book, The Swedish Atheist, the Scuba Diver, and Other Apologetic Rabbit Trails arrived in the stores I celebrated by finally caving in to persistent requests from myself to be interviewed by […]
The Swedish Atheist Book is now available! An Interview with Myself
Finally, after an interminable wait my book The Swedish Atheist, the Scuba Diver and Other Apologetic Rabbit Trails (InterVarsity) is now available for purchase. In honor of the book’s release I have been inundated by requests for interviews. But I have passed them all up and decided to accept an interview with Myself instead. So […]
The latest on God or Godless
Baker now has God or Godless up on their website with the following write up: Perhaps the most persistent question in human history is whether or not there is a God. Intelligent people on both sides of the issue have argued, sometimes with deep rancor and bitterness, for generations. The issue can’t be decided by […]
A blogging update
I tend to treat blogging like Olympic sprinting. Lots of activity for short bursts followed by long periods of rest. Except that it is generally reversed: lots of activity for long bursts followed by short periods of rest. We’re presently in one of those short periods of rest and here’s why: Reason 1: On Wednesday […]
