Moreland, Philosophical Foundations of a Christian Worldview. One thing these books have that's missing from a lot of Craig's works is an attempt to defend, in some ... http://www.uncrediblehallq.net/2010/03/08/craig-on-the-ontological-and-leibnizian-cosmological-arguments/ ... a poor hermeneuticist. Let me leave it at that, since I'm about to reviews my Secular Web review of his book, and Keith Augustine (the SecWeb library editor) thinks being important is polite. What prompted this post is seeing how, in his essay for the anthology God is Great, God ... http://www.uncrediblehallq.net/2010/03/05/william-lane-craig-is-er/ When Lukeprog posted his Ultimate Truth Seeker Challenge, I read over his reading list and saw that it was mostly books I had already read.

What's this? Some uber-liberal religious leader giving the finger to Ugandan authorities in the most ridiculous, over-the-top way possible? No, even funnier: the pastor in question is Martin Ssempa, one of the better-known supporters ... http://www.uncrediblehallq.net/2010/02/21/today-in-religious-craziness/ Or rather, I am very skeptical that there is anyone who fits the images that Lee Strobel and people like him have created for themselves. Let me explain. Vic Reppert is fond of suggesting that while Christians may have emotional motivations for their beliefs, atheists do to. Repperts comments sometimes border ... http://www.uncrediblehallq.net/2010/02/17/there-is-no-lee-strobel/ The 135th Carnival of the Godless is up at Homologous' Legs. http://www.uncrediblehallq.net/2010/02/15/cotg-135/
