Lord or Legend?
The Christian apologetic of "Lord, Liar, or Lunatic," made famous by CS Lewis, has gained recent skepticism.

Lord or Legend? puts skeptics' claims to the test against multiple scholarly disciplines — including history, ethnography, anthropology, and folklore — to uncover fascinating truths about the historical Jesus.

The Disciple-Making Pastor
Christ commanded the church to make disciples, to produce people who love and obey God, bear fruit, and live with joy. The crisis at the heart of the church is that we often pay lip service to making disciples, but we seldom put much effort behind doing it.

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed
It's ironic; atheist scientists who have become famous for attacking those who disagree with them are now loudly complaining about supposedly being mistreated. Richard Dawkins is grumbling that producers of a new movie tricked him into doing an interview.

Not Everything in our Bibles is Inspired
