    The Trinity Solves the First Philosophical Question about Reality

    Sean McDowell — 

    How is there both unity and diversity in reality? Why is there both change and sameness over time? According to Frederick Copleston, in his massive ten-volume A History of Philosophy, these questions relate to the first philosophical issue people wrestled with, which is often called the problem of the one and the many. In the 5th and 6th centuries B.C., Greek philosophers wanted to know what accounted for both the unity and diversity within nature and so they began to offer various theories for ultimate reality ...

    Must We Prove God鈥檚 Superlative Attributes?

    Weekly Q & A with Dr. William Lane Craig

    William Lane Craig — 

    ... I take your question, Joe, because it embodies what seems to be a common confusion. Success in natural theology (i.e., arguments for God鈥檚 existence) is not determined by whether one鈥檚 argument proves all of the attributes of God (much less His omni- attributes!). The argument needs to raise the plausibility or probability that God exists to count as successful ...

    #MeToo, #WeToo

    Octavio Esqueda — 

    The phrase or hashtag #MeToo became viral in social media in recent days. 鈥淢e Too鈥 is not a new phrase; the African-American social activist Tarana Burke started using it ten years ago, but it became a media trending topic recently. This phrase represents a public acknowledgement that a person (although women are sadly the vast majority) has been sexually harassed or assaulted. It has been heartbreaking to read the countless testimonies of people who had the courage to share their abuse stories鈥攎any of them for the first time鈥攚ith openness and frankness ...

    #YoTambi茅n, #NosotrosTambi茅n

    Octavio Esqueda — 

    La frase o 鈥渉ashtag鈥 #metoo (yo tambi茅n) se ha hecho viral en las redes sociales en los 煤ltimos d铆as. No es una frase nueva porque desde hace 10 a帽os la activista afroamericana Tarana Burke intent贸 hacerla p煤blica, pero no ha sido sino hasta estos d铆as que su uso se ha convertido en una tendencia social. La frase indica un reconocimiento p煤blico que una mujer, principalmente y en su gran mayor铆a aunque tambi茅n incluye hombres, ha sido v铆ctima de cualquier tipo de acoso sexual o incluso violaci贸n. Ha sido desgarrador leer los innumerables testimonios de personas que han tenido la valent铆a de contar sus historias y hablar de frente, en muchas ocasiones por primera vez, sobre el abuso que sufrieron ...

    Unbelievable? Interview with Justin Brierley about His New Book

    Sean McDowell — 

    Justin Brierley is the host of " Unbelievable?" the UK-based apologetics radio/podcast show (which is one of my personal favorites!). I have had the privilege of being on the program twice to discuss the martyrdom of the apostles and talk about why I am a Christian with Ryan Bell, the pastor-turned-atheist. For over ten years, Justin has been leading discussions between Christians and atheists, and yet he still believes in God. This Thursday he releases a new book Unbelievable? which I had the privilege to endorse. In the UK, it is available here: www.unbelievablebook.co.uk. Brierley offers some lessons from his conversations as well as the evidence he finds most compelling. Check out this interview and consider ordering a copy of his excellent book ...

    Is an All-Loving God Better?

    Weekly Q & A with Dr. William Lane Craig

    William Lane Craig — 

    ... Thanks for your question, Raef! I don鈥檛 think I鈥檝e ever taken a question from Jordan before! In determining what sort of being a morally perfect being would be, we must consult our moral intuitions. Is it better to be fair rather than prejudiced? Is it better to be a caring person rather than indifferent? Is it better to regard other persons as ends in themselves rather than as mere means to be used for one鈥檚 own ends? Usually, we can answer such questions by thinking about how people ought to treat one another or how we think others ought to treat us ...

    Was Jesus An Apologist?

    Sean McDowell — 

    A few years ago, I had a discussion with an influential theologian who claimed that Jesus was not an apologist. He pointed out that, except for 1 Peter 3:15, the New Testament appearances of apologia (鈥渄efense鈥) all come from the writing or ministry of Paul. Does this mean Jesus was not an apologist? Was Jesus more interested in proclaiming and illustrating the faith than defending it? ...

    How to Cure Slow Thinking

    Weekly Q & A with Dr. William Lane Craig

    William Lane Craig — 

    ... I can really sympathize with your plight, Daniel! I鈥檓 sure that everyone one of us has come away from a conversation with an unbeliever feeling defeated and discouraged and thinking, 鈥淲hy didn鈥檛 I say this?鈥 We admire people who have a mind like a steel trap, ready to spring instantly. I well remember as a young philosopher the awe I felt of George Mavrodes, a professor at the University of Michigan, who, sitting in some session at a philosophy conference and hearing a paper read for the first time, would ask the most penetrating questions from the floor. How I wished to have a mind like his! Well, there is hope. Such a mind is the product of training and development. It need not come naturally, nor is God apt to heal your slow thinking with prayer apart from diligent study and exercise. But my experience has been that with practice one can improve one鈥檚 ability to think acutely and quickly ...

    People: the Cause of Cyclical Poverty or the Source of Prosperity?

    Dave Keehn — 

    A brief look back over the history over the world or turning on the nightly news will reveal the pain of people caused by the actions of others. It can be simply stated: People have caused the impoverished lifestyle experienced by so many in the world through harmful acts. Some cyclical poverty is the result of well-meaning assistance that has perpetuated dependency, unintentionally making things worse. Other people are trapped in communities of poverty through corrupt policies and a lack of rule of law. Worse, history is full of the evil of some to oppress, steal from and enslave people resulting in deadly poverty ...
