When the world of sin and darkness turns in upon itself producing horrific results, Christians should neither rejoice nor participate in such evil. Rather, they should call both those attacking and those being attacked to repentance.

Apologetics and theology should be the closest of disciplines. One might even argue, given that theology is the “queen of the sciences,” apologetics should rightly serve under that theological rule. For this reason, scholarship has given much attention to the relationship between these two disciplines. A plethora of books have been written on apologetic methodology, […] The post Is Inerrancy Important to Apologetics? appeared first on Helwys Society Forum.| Helwys Society Forum

One of the benefits of studying the history of early Christianity is that we quickly realize that what we are facing in the modern day is far from new. Each challenge to the faith might seem new—sometimes leading to an unnecessary panic among some—but the early church faced similar (and often much worse) things before. […]| Canon Fodder

In the first century, we learn of one of the most remarkable men that has ever lived. Before he was born, his mother was told he would not be like other men, but would be divine.

Well, we are coming up on Easter. And while Christians will be celebrating the resurrection, others will doubt it. Our world’s skepticism over miracles is nothing new.

This paper provides a philosophical critique of natural theology as it is commonly understood in the West. Since natural theology is said to be what the human mind by the “light of natural reason alone” can know about God apart from revelation, this critique will focus on epistemological issues in an attempt to establish a proper foundation for knowledge that doesn’t rely on unjustified or arbitrary assumptions by showing that the natural theology is a philosophical project committed to...| Patristic Faith
