The Good, The Bad, and The Controversial

If you are reading or thinking of reading or are just curious about the popular best seller The Shack, listen to this panel discussion with Pastors Jeff Miller and Brian Gross, and professor Michael Burer. They present fair, balanced, and cogent arguments for the good, the bad, and the controversial issues raised in the book. It is approximately an 1 hour and 44 minutes but is worth listening to.

Truth Decay

About 5 years ago I was privileged to sit under Christian philosopher, apologist, preacher, writer, Douglas Groothuis who was the interim at my church for 6 months. He was instrumental in introducing me to the life of the mind and a love for apologetics.

"Truth Decay, Defending Christianity Against the Challenges of Postmodernism" was the first book I read from Groothuis. In it he gives a brief history of Modernity to Postmodernity, demonstrates the biblical view of Truth, critiques various postmodernist philosophers, and provides apologetic ammo for facing the challenges of Postmodernism. It will enkindle you to defend Truth both biblically and logically in the "vital areas of theology, apologetics, ethics and the arts."
This is a must read for every Christian serious about engaging the culture for Christ!

To delve even deeper on the subject, you can also listen to a classroom lecture setting on topics included in "Truth Decay." It will take quite a while to listen to every lecture, given that each runs around 10 minutes to 1 hour and 20 minutes, but it is worth the task.
