Outline : War Herman Bavinck orthodox, modern, or both? In Orthodox yet Modern, Cory C.

By exploring the relation between Bavinck and Schleiermacher, Orthodo…

Outline : Must we be free to truly love? When responding to objections that both evil and God can exist, many resort to a "free will defense," in which God is not the creator of evil but of human freedom, by which evil is possible.

Outline : The gospel message is simple but not simplistic. Learning the gospel and its implications is a lifelong process, but modern evangelicals are often too focused on the moment of conversion while ignoring the ongoing work of sanctification.

Outline : How Modernity Creates Atheists - and what the Church must do about it. Millions of people in the West identify as atheists.
