G. K. Chesterton's Heretics was first, published in 1905, with Orthodoxy following in 1908. Chesterton viewed them as companions to one another, as Orthodoxy was, written as a response to criticism he had received for Heretics. For while Heretics presents the negative view of Chesterton's beliefs, Orthodoxy presents the positive; in a sense, Heretics contains the anathemas while Orthodoxy contains the canons. Orthodoxy is therefore an apology, or...

¿Qué fue lo que hizo de Jesús el Mesías?
Lo llamaban el Rebe del Lubavitch, y no era un rabino común. Durante su vida, estableció centros de atención con ayuda humanitaria para todas las personas.
Él mismo saludaba personalmente a todos los visitantes los domingos. Repartía billetes de un dólar para alentar el espíritu caritativo. Previsiblemente, luego de la muerte del rabino en 1994, sus seguidores comenzaron a proclamarlo como el Mesías.
¿Pero...

Christians today live in an increasingly secular world. Jesus isn't relevant to most people, and someone, who admits they are 'born again' may be laughed at like a crazy person who believes in Santa Claus. Whether we are at work, university, or just hanging out with friends, the gospel is effectively off-limits.
How can we be salt and light, when the world is so closed? How can we be effective witnesses, when mentioning Christ raises hackles and...

A scientific look at creationism from a former creationist
A significant number of Americans, especially evangelical Christians, believe Earth and humankind were created in their present form sometime in the last 10,000 years or so-the rationale being that this is (presumably) the story told in the book of Genesis. Within that group, any threatening scientific evidence that suggests otherwise is rejected or, when possible, retrofitted into a creationist...

Moral disagreement is commonly regarded as a threat to objective morality in scholarly circles and in popular culture--perhaps being one of the most significant objections against Christian theistic moral theory. Some skeptics argue that as people divide about what is right and wrong--often inciting moral evil and causing human suffering--the Christian view of an all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-good God behind morality is inconsistent. Accordingly,...

What is the role of the intellect in the life of faith?
Jesus commanded us to love God with our minds-but why? Isn't simply believing enough? Confused on this point, many Christians choose to focus only on the role of their hearts in shaping their faith and consider that adequate. Some Christians go even further, arguing that knowledge exists in opposition to faith-that one must choose either the truth of science or the truth of the Bible.
The reality...

For many people, skeptics and believers alike, the Old Testament is rife with controversial passages and events that make both belief and sharing our beliefs with others difficult. Often our solutions have tended toward the extremes--ignore problem passages and pretend they don't matter or obsess over them and treat them as though they are the only thing that matters. Now with clarity of purpose and fidelity to the message and spirit of Scripture...
