The Hebrew Scriptures were recognized as authoritative at their inception, and were immediately accepted as such by the Jewish people. The acceptance of the Pentateuch, for example, is recorded in Deuteronomy 32:46-47, and in Joshua 1:7,8. As a matter of course, the Church of the first century regar...

At the time of the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species, most scientists were creationists. In 1973, Harvard, Cambridge, and Oxford jointly published a book, Darwin and His Critics, containing reprints of sixteen reviews by scientists of Darwin's Origin of Species which came out shortly after i...

Many theologians suggest that whatever truth may be found in the Bible is relative to the world view of the culture in which it was written. According to them, God has accommodated himself to the mistaken notions of the ancient Near East in His communication to us through the Bible. This viewpoint w...

The Scopes Trial of 1925 has made an almost indelible impression upon the consciousness of modern Americans as an indication of the hopelessly anti-intellectual, obscurantist, and bigoted nature of "Fundamentalism," or the literal belief in the Bible. However, the image that most of us have of the t...

During the course of the history of Israel, the authors of the Old Testament made constant references to the portions of the Hebrew Scriptures that had already been written.

They all lead to the same place. On the other hand, it is also sometimes argued that there cannot be any...

Many people believe that the data obtained from the radiometric dating of rocks indicates (1) that the earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old, (2) that the ages of the earth's geologic strata have been positively determined, indicating that fossils within these strata are in the sequence one w...

How are we to evaluate the secular humanism which is quickly bringing about the death of our culture? One of the tenets of secular humanism is that Christian believers are credulous and sentimental, and that one must be a materialist, a scientist, and a humanist to have a skeptical mind. Yet the ver...

It should be evident from the foregoing study of God's judgement upon sin in history that Biblical principles have been in effect, not just during the time that the Bible was written, but at all times. Further evidence of this is available in any study of the providence of God in history. Some of th...

If Satan exists, then we have powerful evidence for the validity of the Scriptural claims concerning supernatural activity. The demonic activity that has taken place in all ages is a testimony to the existence of a powerful spiritual force opposed to God. There are references to Satanic activity in ...

In both, there was an unquestioning acceptance of the atheistic anthropocentric views of the Enlightenment, and these views were carried through to their logical conclusions. On both sides of the iron cur...
