CHRISTIANITY IS AN INTELLIGENT FAITH
Christianity is no “emotional crutch”, as some cynics protest. We have an intelligent faith.
Great (short) article about an MIT trained physicist who recently spoke at my daughter’s school in Nashville, TN.
“NOT GOD’S TYPE: AN ATHEIST ACADEMIC LAYS DOWN HER ARMS”
Dr. Holly Ordway is my advisor at HBU, and the Chairman of the HBU Apologetics Dept. Above is the title of her newly released book.
Dr. Ordway is the director of the MA in Cultural Apologetics at Houston Baptist University. She holds a Ph.D. in English literature from the University of Massachusetts Amherst; her academic work focuses on imagination and literature in apologetics, with special attention to the work of CS Lewis and Charles Williams.
FROM ATHEISM TO CHRISTIANITY: A PERSONAL JOURNEY
This is the powerful story of one atheist’s journey to faith in Christ. Knowing (from his story) how C.S. Lewis played a role in his journey to faith was especially encouraging to me since books by Lewis occupy a sizable load of my reading assignments at HBU. This story is somewhat lengthy, but well worth the time to read.
