Is love, love?

G'day everyone! In this episode I have a go at answering the question: "Is love, love"? I begin by introducing the phrase as it is used in present public discourse, before contrasting the issue in the following way:

(1) The Cultural Logic of Love, and
(2) The Christian Alternative

There is a way to argue for diversity and inclusion, “love is love” is not it. “God is love” (1 John 4:8f) which means God not only defines “love” for us in a coherent manner, but more profoundly models for us what it looks like in the person of Jesus.

Do you seriously believe people can walk on water?

G'day everyone! In this episode I have a go at answering the question: “Do you seriously believe people can walk on water”? I begin by giving a few examples of what a miracle is not, before defining what a miracle is, and finally unpacking that definition with the help of C.S. Lewis.

Is Christianity the leading cause of violence?

G'day everyone! In this episode I have a go at answering the question: “Is Religion the Leading Cause of Violence”? I begin by introducing some complaints and complexities, and then offer three points for consideration:

1. The problem of causality
2. Religion has played a relatively insignificant role (in the documented history of warfare)
3. The cause of violence is (ultimately) seeded in the human heart

What is the basis for human rights?

G'day everyone! In this episode I have a go at answering the question: “What is the basis of human rights”? I begin by drawing on a short article written by Andy Bannister of Solas, and then offer six different options. The first five do not appeal to God, the sixth appeals to the uniquely Christian doctrine of the image of God (imago Dei) and reflects what is, in my view, the only sure option for securing the absolute and inalienable rights of every human being.

Can we trust God with our suffering?

G'day everyone! In this episode I have a go at answering the question: “Can we trust God with our suffering?” I begin by distinguishing between two main approaches to the problem of suffering: the theoretical and the existential, and then proceed to explore the existential approach, suggesting two points for consideration:

(1) God suffers with us
(2) God suffers for us

What can we learn from Coronavirus?

G'day everyone! In this episode I have a go at answering the question: “What can we learn from Coronavirus?” I focus in on what I think is the primary lesson, namely that Coronavirus reminds us all that we are not in control. Both opposite and extreme reactions – of indifference on the one hand and an irrational fear and anxiety on the other – miss the mark. What is missing? Hope.

What is Christian Apologetics?

G'day everyone! In this episode I have a go at answering the question: “What is Christian apologetics”? I begin by defining apologetics, taking a quick look at 1 Peter 3: 15 — “…in your hearts honour Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defence to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect” — and then offer four brief points for consideration:

1. Apologetics is for all Christians
2. Apologetics is all about Jesus
3. Apologetics is marked by Christian integrity
4. Apologetics is how we say what we say
