Some people say that the resurrection is myth. Unfortunately for them, scholars report that the earliest testimony for the resurrection goes back to the very year it supposedly occurred– far too early for mythological development. New Testament Scholar Craig Blomberg reports that one such scholar is even an atheist. This is from Blomberg’s blog (HT: Melinda Penner at STR.org): At the […]
McCain or Obama? What principles should Christians use to make their decision? What issues comprise the “weighter matters of the law” (Mt. 23:23-34)?

On Tuesday night, I debated atheist Christopher Hitchens, author of God is not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, at Virginia Commonwealth University. The topic was, “Does God Exist?” Thanks be to God (and to you for your prayers) because I don’t think the debate could have gone much better. There were several atheists who approached […]
