In an enlightening and well-crafted article “Fake Love, Fake War: Why So Many Men Are Addicted to Internet Porn and Video Games,” Russell Moore writes: “If you’re addicted to sugar or tequila or heroin you want more and more of that substance.

On this day—May 26—in the year 1700, Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf und Pottendorf was born. While still in his twenties, Nikolaus became part of a prayer meeting that—through hundreds of men and women who took turns praying—continued twenty-four hours every day for more than one hundred years.

Why No Baptized Lions Or Talking Crosses Made It Into Your Bible

14th May 2012

From the first century forward, Christians viewed testimony that could be connected to eyewitnesses of Jesus as uniquely authoritative. The logic of this standard was simple: The people most likely to know the truth about Jesus were either eyewitnesses who had encountered Jesus personally or close associates of these witnesses. So, although Christians wrangled for […]

An Expression of Gratitude for the Trustees and Administration of Southern Seminary

17th April 2012

I am humbled every day by the still-unbelievable fact that I have been given the opportunity to teach and to lead at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Even after five years as a professor here, there are days when I make my way across the parking lots and amble around the seminary lawn not because […]

G.K. Chesterton on the Historical Case for the Resurrection

8th April 2012

The historical case for the Resurrection is that everybody else, except the Apostles, had every possible motive to declare what they had done with the body, if anything had been done with it. The Apostles might have hidden it in order to announce a sham miracle, but it is very difficult to imagine men being […]

N.T. Wright on Why Resurrection Makes the Best Sense of the Historical Evidence

8th April 2012

It will not do … to say that Jesus’ disciples were so stunned and shocked by his death, so unable to come to terms with it, that they projected their shattered hopes onto the screen of fantasy and invented the idea of Jesus’ ‘resurrection’ as a way of coping with a cruelly broken dream. That […]

Apologetics: Gospel-Centered Apologetics

6th April 2012

So much can depend on the answer to a single question. “Will you marry me?” “Did he get the job?” “Was I accepted into the program?” “Did she survive?” “Will you forgive me?” Sometimes, everything comes together—or falls apart—in the shadow of a single question. The Christian faith is that way. In the case of […]

Apologetics: Is It Possible that Jesus’ Body Was Left on the Cross?

6th April 2012

The Obscenity of the Cross in the Ancient World With few exceptions, even the most skeptical scholars admit that Jesus was crucified—and with good reason. Not only Christian authors but also the Roman historian Tacitus mention the crucifixion of Jesus. It’s highly unlikely that first-century Christians would have fabricated such a shameful fate for […]

The Value of a Life in Panem: A Review of The Hunger Games

3rd April 2012

“The future shape of the world,” Baptist theologian R. Albert Mohler has noted, “appears to be a worldview competition between Christianity, Islam, and Western secularism.” The Hunger Games film and books present us with a world where the worldview competition is over in North America, and Western secularism has won. Centuries in the future, the […]
