Apologetics – the What and the Why

February 17, 2014 by Michael J. Stell, MATS 4 Comments

In my last post, I said that as an academic teaching religion, I should not consider that my role as a teacher is apologetic in its nature.

A Jigsaw Guide to Making Sense of the World II

January 31, 2013 by Tom Grosh IV No Comments

“The challenge [to seeing the big picture and living in light of the truth] is that every religion claims to grant such heavenly insight, and many peer groups will pull together to defend what is common sense at least to them. They may even point to a few pieces of the puzzle that seem to […]
