Now that Faith and Philosophy is open-access, I've collated some links to a number of papers on topics that interest me. I may add more topics over time. Hopefully somebody else will find this useful! There's no better place to start than Alvin Plantinga's "Advice to Christian Philosophers." Navigate to: Aquinas · Classical Theism · Incarnation · Trinity… Continue reading Some Faith and Philosophy Papers by Topic
Damyon, There's a song that makes me think of you every time I hear it. As you go through this period of transition in your life, I hope that you'll listen to it. And I hope that you will experience the transformation in your life that it talks about. Ever since I left when I… Continue reading A Letter to My Brother
Two gentlemen who call themselves "The One Dollar Apologists" recently interviewed David K. Bernard about the Oneness Pentecostal view of church history and of the Scriptures.

Bernard has been a monumental writer in the Oneness movement, and just a couple of years ago earned his doctorate.

For some reason I couldn't log in to WordPress to comment on Dr. James Anderson's post, "An Observation About the Tuggy-Brown Debate." So instead I'm going to post my disagreement with something he said. I hope Dr. Anderson might find the time to respond, as I enjoy reading whatever he blogs about.
