The Swedish Atheist the Scuba Diver and Other Apologetics Rabbit Trails

A new radio interview on “Swedish Atheist”

May 1, 2013 by Randal

Here’s a new radio interview I did with Ted and PK of “Faith Radio Mornings” in Minneapolis: Randal on Faith Radio Mornings It was an enjoyable interview despite the fact that I had to get up at 6 am to record it! As I was waiting for the interview to begin I was heartened to […]

A review of “Swedish Atheist” and the unique autonomy of literary characters

January 31, 2013 by Randal

A few weeks ago my recent apologetics book The Swedish Atheist, the Scuba Diver and Other Apologetic Rabbit Trails was reviewed by Randy Hardman at The Bara Initiative (barainitiative.com). You can read the review here. I think the best part of the review is when Hardman rates the “Enjoyment Level” as “Oh yes!” Hardman concludes the review: “There are […]

The latest review of “Swedish Atheist”

January 17, 2013 by Randal

Here’s the latest review of Swedish Atheist from one of my former students, Bryce Ashlin-Mayo. Just consider the opening paragraph: There is a select group of people in my life that, with a conversation over a cup of java, make me feel smarter and wiser.  Randal Rauser is one of those people.  I have had […]

Two interviews, two book reviews, and three banners (Oh my!)

December 3, 2012 by Randal

Let’s start off with the interviews In the last few weeks I did a couple radio interviews on The Swedish Atheist. One of them, with The Drew Marshall Show in Toronto, is available to listen to on my home page. To be honest, it wasn’t a great interview as I flubbed a couple questions, perhaps due to the […]

A well written review of The Swedish Atheist and more prattling from J.P. Holding

October 29, 2012 by Randal

Another review of Swedish Atheist was published yesterday, this one by matichuk. It can be read here: http://matichuk.wordpress.com/2012/10/28/beyond-the-battle-another-approach-to-apologetics-a-book-review/ This is a good review in two ways. First off, it’s a review that liked the book (and that counts as pretty good in my book). In particular I’d like to note one point that matichuk makes: […]

Swedish Atheist now in Kindle

October 16, 2012 by Randal

When I announced that The Swedish Atheist… was now available my readers said That’s not good enough. They pointed out that This is the twenty-first century chum. And they asked incredulously, Where’s the Kindle? Well now you need ask no longer.

The new books are on their way (however slowly)

June 13, 2012 by Randal

I just received the proofs for my new apologetics book (The Swedish Atheist) back from copy-editing today. This can sure get to be a tedious process (writing, reading, re-reading, tweaking, correcting and perfecting a 280 page manuscript) but at least the end is in sight and the work will be worth it. (It’s no fun publishing a […]

The Swedish Atheist, the Scuba Diver, and Other Apologetics Rabbit Trails

August 3, 2011 by Randal

Asking an author about their new book is like asking parents about their new baby, if you get my drift. A polite question (How’s the new baby?) is met with a wallet full of photos and a seemingly endless parade of anecdotes about nocturnal sleeping patterns, dirty diapers at inopportune times, unforgettable smiles, blah blah blah. All that […]
