I just finished writing a post for another blog about reasons evangelical profs and theologians refuse to consider the possibility God has used evolution as means or method of creation. I think sometimes (because I was guilty of such thinking myself, once upon a time) they resist evolution because they fear condemnation or retribution from [...]

I’ve taken the communion bread and wine (or more commonly, cracker and grape juice) hundreds of times at a dozen or more churches in several denominations. Invariably the communion ceremony is introduced by the Pastor, or some other leader, with a brief explanation of its meaning and the symbolism of the elements – the bread [...]

Most Churches, and certainly all I’ve ever attended, preach a lot about the importance of forgiving – forgiving anyone and everyone who has aroused our ire or resentment. Considering the number of times we are told, through the New Testament, one wonders why we should even need to be told about it again from the [...]

I had to laugh at the light-hearted humor the sighnboard debate evoked (well, for the Catholics, at least), but I also saw serious pathos there that I wanted to [...]

The Bible tells a tale of two wicked cities, Sodom and Gomorrah. They’d become so rank and evil God decided to destroy them. But before He did – and this is one of the most remarkable aspects of the whole story – God elected to tell Abraham about His decision, and then allows Abraham [...]

I wrote a book, some years ago, about the Rapture. Not to explain it, or sell it as doctrine, or advocate for it, but to search out every bit of evidence for it that one might find in Scripture. I never got around to publishing it, but the manuscript has reached many hands. Most [...]

My first book was little more than analysis and some small amount of original interpretation of scripture. My second, a major work of interpretation and reinterpretation, made much use of science. Not surprisingly so, since it’s purpose was to understand, evaluate, and reconcile if possible, the multitude of apparent contradictions between the Biblical and [...]
