N.T. Wright on Resurrection Theories
By Rick Hogaboam On April 4, 2012 · 2 Comments · In Apologetics, Christology, Resurrection, Theology
I’m loving my new N.T. Wright acquisitions via the Logos March Madness 75% sale and have hit the road reading. Here is an extended passage from Surprised by Hope, where Wright responds to the more popular resurrection theories:
There are many smaller arguments which might be brought in at this point, [...]
Adam, Eve, and Creation
By Rick Hogaboam On June 7, 2011 · Leave a Comment · In Apologetics, Biblical Studies, Creation/Evolution, Genesis, Questions & Answers
Very brief post here. I have been asked my thoughts on the modern debate concerning creation and whether Adam and Even were literal beings who literally sinned in the way the narrative of Genesis records.
First off, I am aware that recent scientific data has led some to suggest that there needed to be at [...]
The Role of Culture in Gospel Communication
By Dave Jenkins On October 29, 2010 · Leave a Comment · In Apologetics, Christ & Culture, Discipleship/Sanctification, Missional Thought
Introduction
One of the most controversially discussed topics in the Church today is the issue of contextualization. A brief sampling of what various Professors and Pastors teach on contextualizing the Gospel will suffice to demonstrate that this issue is controversial. Dr. David Sills Professor of Christian Missions and Cultural Anthropology at The Southern Baptist Theological [...]
I read a piece on the BBC News website today titled “Space is the final frontier for evolution, study claims” and I thought I’d point something out here. I do not really intend to open up the “evolution vs. intelligent design vs. young earth creationism” debates, I just [...]
Hope Under Tyrrany

I finally read Animal Farm recently. I had read 1984 about 15 years ago and enjoyed it, but had never followed it up with Orwell’s other famous work. I was struck by the way that both novels end it such a bleak place, with the terrible system triumphing over [...]

Jennifer Knapp, Larry King, Ted Haggard, and Bob Botsford = Painful Television
By Rick Hogaboam On April 26, 2010 · 9 Comments · In Apologetics, Debates, Ethics, Homosexuality, Uncategorized
I watched Larry King Live on Friday night and was pretty disappointed with just about everything I was hearing, even from “Evangelicals” Ted Haggard and Bob Botsford. Here’s a summary of what disappointed me:
Jen Knapp – She is obviously still conflicted from her body language. It was unclear if she actually viewed her [...]
I have recently had the opportunity to discuss spiritual matters while carpooling to work with a co-worker who is Mormon. We do not always carpool but from time to time her normal ride is not available. At some time during our commute, the conversation usually turns to spiritual things. We have discussed matters such as, [...]
“Who Can Change the Leopard’s Spots?” – Phillip W. Mansfield.
I enjoyed this read. Thought you might too.
What a mighty God we serve…
In the introduction to The Modern Middle East: A History (my new textbook for Middle Eastern history this coming semester), James Gelvin argues that al-Qaeda differs from other Islamist groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Taliban in that it does not have a political program other than rejecting the two most [...]
On Fox News Sunday, Brit Hume made mention of Tiger Woods’ Buddhist faith and offered a suggestion,
“I don’t think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith. So my message to Tiger would be…turn to the Christian faith [...]
Mark Horne has a helpful post on why he is not a Roman Catholic. An excerpt:
Idolatry is a huge sin and praying through icons (whether 3d or 2d) is idolatry. I cannot possibly engage in such a practice, allow anyone in my guardianship to do so, or excuse such a thing, [...]
