Apologetics for a New Generation
January 14th, 2009 by Dale Fincher
As you know, I’m a member of the “new apologetics” fan club. Nobody has coined that term yet, from what I can tell, but I’m a card-carrying member anyway. And while my view may go in directions not yet popularized by evangelical apologetic celebrities, I am excited about a new volume released this winter, edited [...]

Was Jesus’ Sacrifice a Sacrifice for Him?
July 15th, 2008 by Dale Fincher
I received this question last week: Would you say that Jesus dying on the cross was not a huge sacrifice for Him? How would you answer this? If Jesus knew he’d get his life back, does that lessen the sacrifice? I’ll give you how I responded in the next post. What are your thoughts?

Heaven is Not Our Home
March 24th, 2008 by Dale Fincher
I grew up in a conservative evangelical home and church. Then I went off to a fundamentalist college. In all my theological training as a youth and college student, I was always told that heaven is my home. But the more I read the Scripture and pieced together the grand story, the more I saw [...]

March 20th, 2008 by Dale Fincher

"Americans Hostile to Knowledge"
February 15th, 2008 by Dale Fincher
Susan Jacoby wrote a book I’m ordering today: The Age of American Unreason American anti-intellectualism and anti-rationalism is on a roll…. and many, if not most, Americans don’t even think it matters. Her thesis isn’t new… but I’m hoping it will be accessible enough to recommend to those caught with the disease. Read todays article: [...]
