Tim McGrew’s Library of Historical Apologetics: Rediscovering Forgotten Defenders of the Faith
August 19th, 2010 15 Comments
Last year Timothy McGrew, Professor of Philosophy at Western Michigan University (and reader of and occasional commenter on this blog) was kind enough to ship us a hard-drive from the US filled with thousands of old theological works on the historical argument for the truth of Christianity. It is truly a gold-mine of information, which Matt gets himself [...]

This appears to have come on the back of the Richard Dawkins inspired bus advertising that made headlines earlier this year. It [...]

Contra Mundum: Richard Dawkins and Open Mindedness
May 6th, 2010 140 Comments

Sunday Study: Two Forms of Inerrancy
February 8th, 2010 6 Comments
The discussion arising in response to my recent post Inerrancy and Biblical Authority, both on this blog and on some of the blogs that linked to it, got me thinking a bit more about this topic.

April 26th, 2009 3 Comments
