As 2011 comes to a close, it’s a good time to reflect on the last year’s worth of blogging. I began to consciouly write more better theological essays for Veritas Domain beginning in 2010. This year, I’ve attempted to continue in the vein begun in 2010 of writing essays concerning the inter-relationship of various theological [...]

Book Review: The Consequences of Ideas by R.C. Sproul
Posted in Book Review, christian apologetics, RC Sproul, The Consequences of Ideas, Theology on December 29, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Good work that presents a historical survey of western philosophy beginning with the Pre-Socratic Greek philosophers all the way up to the Deconstructionists of the 20th Century. R.C. Sproul does a good job overall. This work is largely an exposition of the various philosophies rather than a Christian refutation of them per se. The author’s [...]
THE USE OF PSALM 118:22 AND ISAIAH 8:14 AS MESSIANIC STONE PROPHECIES IN LUKE 20 IN LIGHT OF GENESIS 39 AS ANTECEDENT THEOLOGY
Posted in antecedent theology, Bible, bible difficulties, bible interpretation, biblical prophecy, hermeneutics, historical grammatical hermeneutics, Isaiah, Isaiah 8, messianic prophecies, psalm 118, Theology, Walter Kaiser on December 28, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Introduction Perhaps there is no topic about the Bible that fascinates the curious as fulfilled Bible prophecies. There is something glorious about seeing what has been written down in the pages of Scripture that finds its fulfillment hundreds or even thousands of years later. At the same time, questions do arise concerning the mechanics of [...]
Paul Manata reviews “God is Not Great”
Posted in christian apologetics, Cornelius Van Til, Presuppositional Apologetics, presuppositionalism, Reformed, Van Til on December 27, 2011 | 3 Comments »
This is back in 2008, for the Podcast and Radio Show “The Narrow Mind” in which the host Gene Cook interviews Paul Manata in their review of the late Hitchen’s work “God is Not Great.” It is a 8 part series. A treat for those who are Presuppositionalists and/or appreciate VanTillian approach to apologetics. Part [...]
Book Review: Think by John Piper
Posted in biblical worldview, Book Review, Christian book, christian culture, Christian Education, Christian intellect, John Piper, Theology on December 26, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
The topic of this book is the relationship of thinking and the Christian life. As the beginning of the book admits, there have been other Christian works on the topic of the relationship of the intellect and the faith, with each having it’s different emphasis (such as the cultural aspect, role of faith and science, [...]

Wow, apparently the whole documentary that I saw on DVD of Doug Wilson debating Christopher Hitchens is now online on youtube for free.

Presentation by Dr. James White from the original setting during a debate with a Muslim. I cannot wait till Dr. White’s book on Islam comes out.
Book Review: Heavenly Man
Posted in Book Review, Brother Yun on December 21, 2011 | 3 Comments »
It is incredible to think that this book is the autobiography of a Christian who began evangelizing and preaching at the age of 16 under the rule and persecution of communist China. It is a heart-wrenching read as Brother Yun describe living the Christian life–from the serious famine of Bibles, illegal Church meetings, and evangelizing [...]

Book Recommendation: Godliness Through Discipline by Jay E. Adams
Posted in biblical counseling, Book Review, Christianity, jay adams, Presuppositional Apologetics, presuppositionalism, Sanctification, Sin on December 19, 2011 | 2 Comments »
I know Veritas Domain talks a lot about worldview, theology and apologetics. But I also believe that the Christian apologist in helping someone through doubt and intelluctual issues must also not be divorced from considering issues pertaining to the individual’s spiritual life. In the ministry, I find that at times, those who struggle in [...]
BIBLICAL GENRE HERMENEUTICS COURSE: SESSION SIX: POETRY I: WHAT IS HEBREW POETRY?

GO TO PART V I. Definition of Hebrew poetry a. It is a more picturesque way of saying things.[1] b. Sometimes it is best understood in contrast to its opposite: Prose. i. Prose is not always easy to define either ii. Prose is saying things with as little as possible.[2] c. Hebrew poetry can also [...]
Pakistani Taliban chain students to be future jihadist–this breaks my heart
Posted in Uncategorized on December 14, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
This picture is a reminder of what is wrong with radical Islam. Some might find Christian sunday school boring, but in this one Pakistani “seminary” for boys who are detained and chained to be raised as future jihadist, it takes everything to a whole new level. I find this picture to be incredibly sad–a young [...]

As we shared earlier, this year’s recommended Christmas Christian Book List on Christian Worldview and Apologetics Discipleship also includes a book on Biblical evangelism by Ray Comfort. Be sure to check out other books we suggested. Below is my review of “God Has A Wonderful Plan for Your Life: The Myth of the Modern Message” [...]
Book Review: The Lamb and the Fuhrer
Posted in biblical worldview, Book Review, christian apologetics, Christianity, Ravi Zacharias on December 12, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
This is another work by Ravi Zacharias where he writes of an imaginary dialogue between famous people in history. In this book, it centers on the conversation between Hitler and Jesus. I’ve enjoyed other works by the author in the similar vein as this book, but I thought this particular book in the Great Conversations [...]
