Historical Apologetics10 Criticisms of the Bible Code1/1/1997 Definition: The Bible Code (BC) is an alleged detectable code numerically derived from the letters of the Hebrew Old Testament text (especially the Torah). Augustine on Adam’s Fall10/23/2007 Arguably the greatest of the church fathers, Augustine of Hippo (AD 354-430) is widely considered one of the most influential theologians in Christian history. He is especially recognized as having a profound impact on how Christian orthodoxy defined and formulated essential Christian doctrine. Book Review7/1/2002 A History of Apologetics - by Avery Dulles. Eugene, OR: Wipf and Stock Publishers, 1999. Book Review4/1/2002 Engaging Unbelief - A Captivating Strategy from Augustine and Aquinas, By Curtis Chang. Downers Grove, IL. InterVarsity Press, 2000. CRACKING THE CODES1/1/1997 Books claiming to unlock secret codes embedded in the letters or words of the Bible have returned to the limelight. Such books are not new; they've appeared many times through the centuries. But the application of advanced computer technology in the search for these "encoded messages" is new. New, too, are the media's "advertising" capabilities. Historic Age Debate: Dependence on Translations, Part 1 (of 5)6/19/2009 These days there’s a bewildering array of Bible translations to choose from. How do we know which one to choose? What difference does it make anyway? For most purposes, any translation will do. However, in the debate over the age of the Earth, selecting the right translation makes a big difference. The Christmas Star12/1/2002 For centuries scholars and laymen alike have speculated on the nature of the star that led the wise men from the east to seek out the Messiah that had come to the Jews. The only reliable account of this event is found in Matthew 2 of the Bible. The Great Claims of Jesus1/1/1975 The vast majority of the world's people recognize Jesus of Nazareth as a great moral teacher, perhaps even a prophet, but only a small percentage, as yet, accept Him as the Messiah, the "deliverer," Savior, and Lord. Those whom the Bible calls Christians acknowledge Jesus as "the Word," the revelation of God. The Importance of Rowing Together10/30/2007 Watching Ken Burns’s new documentary on PBS about World War II led to, of all things, an apologetics epiphany on my part.
