Alisa Childers: ‘Reading Through Your Book Was … Exciting’
Alisa Childers, gifted speaker, former ZOEgirl singer, and author of the outstanding book Another Gospel?: A Lifelong Christian Seeks Truth in Response to Progressive Christianity, graciously invited me on her podcast to talk about my own book Too Good to Be False: How Jesus’ Incomparable Character Reveals His Reality. I...
‘It’s The Best Book on Jesus’ Character in Generations, Second Only to G. K. Chesterton’
(Image: G. K. Chesterton in 1931) That headline’s a paraphrase. What author and columnist John Zmirak actually said about my book Too Good to be False (just out on Kindle!) was this: For months I’ve been telling anyone who’d listen that one of the best books on Jesus’ character...

A Conversation with Gay/Progressive Leader Brandan Robertson
I had a most interesting conversation on Thursday with Brandan Robertson, who’s a leading spokesman for gay and progressive Christianity, on everything from the character of Jesus, to the nature of the Bible, to Christianity’s connection to slavery.

This Week! Presenting a Strictly Bible-Centered Case for the Truth of the Resurrection (Without Circular Fallacies)

Refutation Fail: Benjamin Cain Utterly Destroys an Argument I Didn’t Make
Benjamin Cain is an atheist who “did a doctorate in philosophy.” If I can tell his books by their covers, he spends much of his time now writing dark fiction. He’s also done me the favor of reading and responding to Too Good to be False, which I certainly...
A Different Kind of Giving Tuesday Opportunity
You Can Give, Just By Spreading the Word on Social Media! The song goes, “All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth.” It’s not your normal Christmas gift request, is it? Today on Giving Tuesday I’ve got a different kind of request myself. You won’t need to...
Episode 17: ‘The Other Worldview,’ and How Jesus is So Much Greater Than You Knew
The Thinking Christian podcast is back! I’m returning with thoughts on Peter Jones’s excellent 2015 book The Other Worldview: Exposing Christianity’s Greatest Threat. There are just two worldviews, says Jones: Oneism and Twoism. Of course these two have different manifestations. “Twoism” is Jones’ term for the view that reality...
