Repost: Aristotle Defeats Aristotle (Long)
(Reposted, with some minor editing, from another blog which no longer exists.) We can use Aristotle’s own logic to show how it is incompatible to Christian faith. The fundamental question here is bound up in that fancy word, “epistemology.” You … Continue reading
This Is Not Our Fight
Hear the burden of the Spirit: This is not our fight. If we embrace the Enlightenment principles of morality, then a rabid involvement in politics is necessary. No one can deny this is the philosophy undergirding modern Western governments as … Continue reading
Ruth — Intro and Chapter 1

Perhaps you understand this instinctively on some level: Christ inherited the prerogatives of His Father. Granted, our language can’t carry the full meaning of it, but so far as we here can grasp and experience, Christ is the Heir of … Continue reading
The Peace of God
It seemed so obvious, it was hardly mentioned until much later when outsiders were pressing in, trying to claim a piece of the action. Those outsiders had virtually none of the foundation, none of the essential background to get vary … Continue reading
