To a Thousand Generations: The Triumph of the Covenant
I was born and raised a Catholic which was my religious life until I went away to college at 18 and was born-again into an Evangelical and Protestant faith bearing little resemblance to Catholicism. The primary reason I embraced this new version of Christianity was...
Evil and the Death of Secularism
In a comment on Facebook recently I said, “Secularism is dead,” and I got this not unreasonable response: Not sure why secularism is dead, but post-modern thinking and critical theory are alive and well. Looked at as a snapshot of the current historical moment, of...
The Rise and Fall of Dispensational Premillennialism in American Christianity
When I embraced postmillennialism in August 2022, I knew next to nothing about where the most popular Evangelical eschatology, dispensational premillennialism, came from or how it developed. The reason this is important is because eschatology matters. What we think...

Why I Am A Paedobaptist, or Why We Baptize Children
Whenever I have put the word paedobaptist in Google, the first article linked is "Why I Am Not a Paedobaptist" by Tim Challies. One day maybe my little post here will come up high on such a search so people interested in the subject can get a competing argument,...

FX’s The Americans: Everyone Lives by Faith
The FX show The Americans is set in the Reagan era Cold War 80s. Two Soviet intelligence agents, Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys, pose as a married couple to spy on the American government. They didn't know each other prior to meeting in America, and are tasked with...
Are Millennials The Most Narcissistic Generation Ever?
In my previous post I wrote about the word of the year, "post-truth," and how the triumph of the subjective makes assertions of Christianity as true, or anything as true for that matter (outside of scientific claims), problematic for many of our neighbors. The...
The 4 Horsemen of the Philosophical Apocalypse
I saw this title at the Intellectual Takeout website, and was instantly curious. Two of the first three chapters of my book are on truth and epistemology, so I'm a big believer that philosophy is not exactly tangential to keeping our kids Christian. Most Americans,...
