Back in the summer of 2008 I first read William Paul Young’s The Shack (a publishing phenomenon that has gone on to sell more than ten million copies). Shortly thereafter I presented a couple seminars on the book which were so warmly received that I decided to write a companion to the book. I got […]
Randal Rauser
Patrick Chan of Triablogue defends Randal Rauser with biting satire
As you probably know, the folks at Triablogue are not my biggest fans.

The book was intended as a dictionary/handbook for those interested not in philosophy of religion per se, but rather in specifically Christian philosophy. As such, it fills a rather unique niche in the marketplace. Here is a link to a […]
Caption contest
James Tracy kindly drew a cartoon Randal Rauser. The glasses and schnoz are about right, and the hairline is pretty close (especially since my wife found her barber kit in the basement last week) though the chin is a little too wide and the forearms are rather beefy. But what am I complaining about? You get […]
