 The Marks of a Christian Scholar: A Vocational Description (Part Three)[1] Mark Eckel, ThM PhD, Professor of Leadership, Education & Discipleship Capital Seminary & Graduate School, Washington, D.C. By guiding attention we take in our hands the key to the formation and the development of personality and character. -- Lev Semyonovich Vygotsky[2] My first stint as an educator was chosen by a four letter word: time.

The Mechanism of Creation – The View from Science, Pt. 3

February 19, 2014 by Tom Ingebritsen 5 Comments

This is the last part of a series of three posts dealing with the mechanism of creation from the point of view of science (Part 1, Part 2). These will be followed by a series of posts addressing questions and concerns that Christians might have about this scientific view. In this post we are going to continue looking at the theory of evolution which is the dominant scientific view of the mechanism of creation. Previously I pointed out that evolution is a loaded word that has multiple meanings for people and that part … [Read more...] about The Mechanism of Creation – The View from Science, Pt. 3

The Best Christian Book of All Time: One Year Later

February 13, 2014 by Micheal Hickerson 4 Comments

About a year ago, we announced our call for nominations for the Best Christian Book of All Time, and you —our readers —responded with great enthusiasm. From a nomination pool of over 140 worthies, we first narrowed the bracket to 64 contenders, voted out lesser lights (such as Luther, Calvin, Chesterton, Aquinas —I hope they make something of themselves some day!), and crowned our winner: Augustine's Confessions, the Best Christian Book of All Time.[1] You may have heard of the runner-up, a short tract by C.S. Lewis … [Read more...] about The Best Christian Book of All Time: One Year Later

The Mechanism of Creation – The View from Science, Pt. 2

February 12, 2014 by Tom Ingebritsen 11 Comments

This is the second part of a series of three posts dealing with the mechanism of creation from the point of view of science. These will be followed by a series of posts addressing questions and concerns that Christians might have about this scientific view. In my previous post, I pointed out that evolution is a loaded word that has multiple meanings for people and that part of the conflict between Christianity and science in this area is due to misunderstandings about the meanings of the word. There are four … [Read more...] about The Mechanism of Creation – The View from Science, Pt. 2

The Mechanism of Creation – The View from Science, Pt. 1

February 5, 2014 by Tom Ingebritsen Leave a Comment

There are two main points of tension between the scientific account of natural history and the creation account in Genesis 1. In my last two posts I discussed the tension around the timing of creation events. In the next three posts I'm going to discuss the scientific view of the mechanism of creation. Then in several following posts I will talk about questions and tensions that Christians may have concerning the scientific view. The theory of evolution is the dominant scientific explanation for the history of life … [Read more...] about The Mechanism of Creation – The View from Science, Pt. 1
