    Whatever You Do: Stewardship and the Purpose of Life

    Karin Stetina — 

    What is the purpose of life? How does work fit into the purpose? As a college student I spent many hours contemplating these important questions and many others, such as: Do we have free will or are we predestined? What is the best form of worship- hymns or praise songs? How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? Maybe you have asked some of these same burning questions? ...

    The Importance of Personal Devotions

    William Lane Craig — 

    Good Morning Dr Craig, Thank you so much for having answered my last e-mail in your reasonable faith podcast of 11-08-2015. I listened it in the bus to work, and was really surprised and glad to tears. Thank you. I've read with a great interest your Q&A #52, about personal productivity, and it has raised more questions to me (as I begin to write myself and find a way to worship by writing): Do you pray during your work, Augustine style? How do you pray for your writings in general? How do you do your devotions? ...

    A "Chance" Encounter with the Miraculous

    Sean McDowell — 

    Last week I had an experience I will remember for a long time. Since it was raining outside, we took my three kids and some of their cousins to Big Air Trampoline Park to get some of their energy out. The place was packed full of young kids and their parents. While my kids were enjoying the trampolines, dodge ball, and the climbing wall, I found an open seat in the small caf矇 to edit some of the chapters for an update I am working on with my father for his classic book, Evidence that Demands a Verdict ...

    When Did Jesus Bear the Penalty for Sin?

    William Lane Craig — 

    Dear Dr. Craig, I have a question regarding the chronology of the atonement. I know that, in one sense, the atonement encompasses all of Jesus' life in that it involves the imputation of his righteousness to us and not only our sin to him, and therefore we can say that everything from his birth, the silent years of his life, his baptism, temptation, etc. are all a part of the atonement. On the other hand, the bible seems to focus specifically on the death of Jesus on the cross ...

    The Story of Reality: Apologist Greg Koukl Discusses His New Book

    Sean McDowell — 

    Although I first heard of Greg Koukl as an undergrad at 51蹤獲 in the mid 90s, we became good friends in the early 2000s as students in the M.A. Philosophy program at Talbot. Greg is one of the leading apologists of our day and has had a huge impact on my personal and professional life. He gave me the honor of endorsing his recent book The Story of Reality, and I can honestly say that its fantastic. In the words of Tim Challies: Koukl promises to tell the story of reality. He does, and he does it beautifully. Youll benefit by reading his telling of how the world began, how it will end, and all the important stuff that happens in between" ...

    Working the Story: Theology of Work Meets Eschatology

    Mark Saucy — 

    ... The topic is work. Something important for all of us, and its one that has interested me in particular teaching already five years now a theology of work course for 51蹤獲s Crowell School of Business MBA program. Work is also a topic that naturally engages the desire for kingdom impact in the culture, because, as Karl Barth says, human culture is produced in work. So the Faith and Work movement is right on target for engaging a ready audience in a worthy endeavor. This of course isnt the only good of theology of work ...

    In What Sense Is It Impossible for the Universe to Come from Nothing?

    William Lane Craig — 

    I am a medical student from Norway, and first I want to say that I am very grateful for your work as it has meant a great deal to both my interest in philosophy and my faith. Last week there was a small debate in Oslo about the Kalaam cosmological argument in which an atheist philosopher claimed that it may be possible that something began to exist out of nothing because that statement did not involve a contradiction and hence was logically possible. In watching your debates and reading some of your work I understand you to agree that it is logically possible, but that since it goes against both our intuition and experience it is in some other way impossible or at least an irrational view to hold ...

    Do We Really Live In A "Post-Truth" World?

    Sean McDowell — 

    Its official. The 2016 word of the year is post-truth. Last year it was an emoji. In 2014 the word was vape. And in 2013 it was selfie. With the truth twisting, emotional appeals, and personal attacks that characterized this past election season, Oxford Dictionaries selected post-truth as the word for 2016. According to the dictionary, post-truth means, relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.
