A Critique of Bart Ehrman’s Methodology as a ‘Historian’

I was very excited to begin reading How Jesus Became God by Bart Ehrman, having recently read and reviewed another of his books, Misquoting Jesus.

If God is a Person, then Justice is Subjective

Hello, friends. I’ve been thinking a lot about justice. This is because there are certain people in my life that I am annoyed with, because they have been behaving in a way that I find to be really inconsiderate and unkind. But don’t worry, I’m not here to bore you with a sob story, I’m… Continue reading

Should Christians be Judgmental?

The question I’d like to address in this article is whether being a Christian means a person must be judgmental when interacting with others. Continue reading
