  Racism: A Christian’s Response by Dr. Richard Land In light of the recent societal and cultural upheavals related to racism and social justice, it is vitally important for Evangelicals to be explicit and forthright about how their spiritual convictions guide them on these issues. As an Evangelical institution called to equip students to proclaim the Gospel, engage the culture, and defend the truth (including the inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible), Southern Evangelical Seminary (SES) stands for the inherent value of all human life (Gen. 1:27) and against racism in all its insidious ..read more

How the Corona Virus Ought to Redirect Our Hope

  How the Corona Virus Ought to Redirect Our Hope by J Warner Wallace I remember when COVID-19 was first being discussed in the news. The idea that a pandemic was on the horizon was totally foreign to most of us; we simply had not experienced such an event in our lifetime. Early reactions seemed extreme and inconsistent. Some of us rushed to buy copious amounts of toilet paper at the supermarket while others were convinced it would all blow over. When the “safer at home” orders began, it seemed like they might last for only a few weeks. Now, as summer winds to a close, it is clear that th ..read more

  The Multiverse Theory Contradicts Occam’s Razor By Eric Cicero One explanation for the existence of the universe is the multiverse theory. But further examination reveals that it contradicts the Occam’s razor principle. Before we begin, we must first define our terms. What is “Occam’s razor” and how does it apply to the multiverse theory? Do these two concepts contradict one another? What is the Occam’s Razor Principle? Occam’s razor (Ockham’s razor, Ocham’s razor or law of parsimony) is a problem solving principle coined by the English Franciscan friar William of Ockham. William of Ock ..read more

  Do Many Potential Options Compromise the One Truth? by Arthur Khachatryan ‘There are thousands of religions. How can you be so egotistical as to think that your religion is the right one?‘ Do people who ask this have a legitimate gripe? Many people believe that since there are many potential options, that, therefore, there is no right answer – with people holding to this notion in numerous contexts. It seems to be a dominant view especially in conversations about religion. The first thing we must come to terms with is that Christianity, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Thorism, or any other re ..read more

  Bart Ehrman’s Smoke Screen by Billy Dyer For those of you who don’t know, Bart Ehrman is a New Testament Scholar and an Agnostic. An agnostic is basically an uncommitted fence-rider. That is, they claim that they don’t know whether there is a god(s) or not. Bart Ehrman grew up in a Christian environment, went to seminary and even got his PHD from Princenton by studying under Bruce Metzger. For those of you who don’t know Bruce suffice it to say that he is one of the leading New Testament manuscript scholars in America and probably in the world.

One Way to Tell the New Testament Is True
The Poached Egg

  One Way to Tell the New Testament Is True by Tim Barnett Tim shows how some details in the Gospel of Luke—that we may be inclined to skip over—actually help point to the truthfulness of the New Testament. Now, there’s lots of skeptics out there. And they would say something like, “No, no, you read the New Testament? That’s just all mythological. It’s just—they’re making up stories. It’s kind of like, ‘A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away,’ or, ‘Once upon a time,’ or that kind of thing.” You know when you hear “once upon a time,” someone’s telling you a story. But that’s not what yo ..read more

Why Science and Atheism Don’t Mix

  Why Science and Atheism Don’t Mix by John Lennox Editor’s note: This article is an excerpt from John Lennox’s new book, 2084: Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humanity. Dr. Lennox is Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford. Science proceeds on the basis of the assumption that the universe is, at least to a certain extent, accessible to the human mind. No science can be done without the scientist believing this, so it is important to ask for grounds for this belief. Atheism gives us none, since it posits a mindless, unguided origin of the universe’s life and conscio ..read more
