The Wandering Heretic

A few years ago, I noted that the Christmas traditionally did not start for my family until we watched Jingle All The Way. Luckily last year we had it on tape as not a single network showed the feature. This year it is all over cable, so Christmas can once again arrive safely in the [...]

Michael Spenser, the Internet Monk, issued a challenge for bloggers to devote a post (and maybe a picture) to a Bible that has a special place in our spiritual journey. I actually did such a post over a year ago when I reviewed the “Christian Community Bible: the Pastoral Edition.” In honor of Spencer, I [...]

I love reading the blogsite relapsed catholic. The author, Kathie Shaidle, is a blunt spokesperson for conservatism and the abiding value of Christianity (usually of the Catholic variety). She does this in a country (Canada) that denigrates both. Since I think where Canada is today, the United States is sure to follow in a decade [...]

Gary DeMar of American Vision made in interesting comment in a speech on American Christianity. I paraphrase, but in effect he said: Say what you will about Mohammedism, at least it presents itself as a faith for adults. That is probably its biggest draw. You won’t see anything like “Veggie Tales” ever in the Muslim [...]

It was wondrous seeing the first 11 chapters of Genesis presented if such a lifelike fashion. My second feeling was a kind [...]

When my family made its visit to the Creation Museum this year, I found the recreation of the Biblical Genesis account very exciting and stimulating. Even if I had some experiences of déjà vu, the accomplishment of Ken Ham in putting his books and ideas all into this arena is nothing short of phenomenal. In [...]

As I mentioned

The centerpiece of our vacation this year was a visit to the newly opened Creation Museum in Northern Kentucky. As I have noted before, I am an agnostic on origins, being neither a six day creationist nor an evolutionist of any ilk. I am not presently a creationist of the six-day fraternity and am therefore [...]

Greg Bahnsen, probably the greatest Apologist of the previous century, once noted that he regarded the emergence of Darwinism as a philosophical issue rather than a scientific one. His reasoning for this assertion was that, previous to The Origin of the Species similar theories of gradual transformation of forms were postulated and in some cases [...]

Introduction: I have lately become very interested in the relationship between Judaism and Christianity. This interest has been sparked somewhat by the historical work of N. T. Wright as well as the work by the Context Group of Scholars. Both maintain that Jesus was a first century Jew and therefore Christianity is misunderstood if taken [...]
