Charles Darwin’s Letter to Billy Graham
Science cannot explain the fullness of our humanity. We should be skeptical of claims that it can.
This year marks the 160th anniversary of the publication of Darwin’s Origin of the Species. Darwin’s theories wield massive historic and contemporary influence. Yet, there is much about the human experience that a Darwinian view of life cannot explain. Nonetheless, many see this scientific outlook as offering a total worldview. That’s why Graham described such... Continue Reading
Christianity Today Editor Reveals The Point Trump ‘Crossed The Line’ For Him
Mark Galli says it’s strange that people who “take the teachings of Jesus Christ seriously” can’t see that Trump’s character is “deeply concerning.”
Galli, who also called for Trump to be removed from office, faced backlash from multiple evangelical leaders, including Franklin Graham ― the son of American evangelist Billy Graham who founded Christianity Today ― but he doubled down on his opinion in a “Face The Nation” appearance on Sunday. Christianity Today editor-in-chief Mark Galli said... Continue Reading
Lord’s Day Meditation: “Behold, I Have Graven Thee upon the Palms of My Hands”
Heaven and earth may well be astonished that rebels should obtain so great a nearness to the heart of infinite love as to be written upon the palms of his hands.
O unbelief, how strange a marvel thou art! We know not which most to wonder at, the faithfulness of God or the unbelief of his people. He keeps his promise a thousand times, and yet the next trial makes us doubt him. He never faileth; he is never a dry well; he is never as... Continue Reading
Hilary of Poitiers and the Wonder of the Triune God
Hilary’s convictions about Christ’s incarnation developed through a long study and investigation of Scriptures.
In 356, the Synod of Béziers, composed mostly of Arians, sentenced Hilary to exile in Phrygia (in present-day Turkey). It was there that Hilary wrote his best-known work, On the Trinity, where he supported his stand with Scriptures from both Old and New Testament. For Hilary, the doctrine of the Trinity is not only biblical,... Continue Reading

Dr. James Everett Urish, 72, died peacefully on Saturday, December 7, 2019 in Rangely, Colorado after battling cancer for over three years.

Why C.S. Lewis Wouldn’t Write for Christianity Today
From wartime talks to talking fauns, his excellent life was committed to the advancement of the gospel.
It would be easy for a young apologist to miss the brilliance of Lewis’s creativity. Our day is marked by both war and peace, calling for a multifaceted and flexible line of attack. Herein Lewis’s life and witness provide many examples for evangelists today. While Lewis’s articulation of the gospel took different paths, they all... Continue Reading
It is for Professors to Teach and Students to Learn
My antediluvian notion is that professors should teach because students need to learn.
“Welcome to History 101, Western Civilization. This is not high school. You will be here on time and in your seats before I begin lecturing which will be promptly at eight o’clock. Unendurable pain and distress are the only acceptable reasons for leaving class during my lectures. My hours are on my office door located... Continue Reading
Apologetics: Answering Alan Alda – The Evidence for God Is Overwhelming But Sinners Suppress It
“I haven’t come across any evidence for God.”
I wonder what Alda would consider to be admissible and adequate evidence for God? Perhaps first-hand sight of a miracle or a personal experience of hearing God’s audible voice? The reality, however, is that Alda has come across multiple evidence for God in the course of his life. The problem is not a lack of... Continue Reading

Mikael Agricola and the Reformation in Finland
Agricola is mostly remembered as the father of Finnish orthography and literature.
In introducing the Reformation to Finland, Agricola followed Luther’s example of moderation, aiming at explaining the changes rather than forcing them on the population. For example, he included in his Prayer Book the Ave Maria, but only as angelic salutation and song of praise about what God had done. He emphasized this with a strong... Continue Reading
