Take Two Turns Four!

Bust out the party hats because today Take Two celebrates its fourth birthday. In celebration of our big day, we’ve compiled some of your favorite posts—consider it a“regifting” of sorts.

Sandra’s Top 5:

Sifting Fact from Fiction in Biblical Archaeology – Hold on to your dusty fedora and trusty bullwhip! Theologian and RTB’s Dean of Online Learning Krista Bontrager offers tips for sifting genuine biblical archaeological discoveries from tabloid fodder.

The Inconceivable Misuse of Science Words – Imagine the impact the church could have if Christians tossed out bad arguments for the faith and took the time to understand and respect scientists’ positions, even if we disagree with them.
