A new on-line resource for key university debates

"Jesus of Nazareth: How Historians Can Know Him and Why It Matters" is my newly posted article on the website created by the Christ on Campus Initiative of the Carl F. H.

Antony Flew, N. T. Wright, and the Resurrection of Jesus

In my previous two posts, I referred to internationally renowned atheist philosopher Antony Flew and his recent conversion to theism.  In his recent autobiography, There is A God: How the World’s Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind (Doubleday, 2007), Flew describes not only his reasons for believing in God but why, if any of the established religions is true, Christianity is the one, in his words, to beat.  He does not claim to have become a Christian, but he prints in Appendix B responses he has received from Anglican Bishop of Durham, N.

Infamous Atheist Antony Flew Publishes the Story of His Coming to Believe in God

In 2004, academics around the world were abuzz with the news that famed British atheist philosopher and professor Dr. Antony Flew had converted to theism.  An article in Philosophia Christi definitively broke the story, after a couple of premature announcements in other places.  Evangelical philosopher and apologist, Dr. Gary Habermas, had interviewed Flew and had himself played an influential role as friend and conversation partner over the years in bringing Flew to this dramatic change of mind.
