Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 4:42 pm By Tony Jones

This week’s Question That Haunts Christianity came from Davidson, a 15-year-old high school student: I’m not quite sure if this is how your readers present their questions to you, but if it is, I have one for you. I am a scholar at heart. I love to learn just about anything. I plan to study theology, English, and philosophy at Liberty University. The latter is, well, part of my question. I have always thought that philosophers have been God-gifted men who have... Read more

Various Thoughts — and a Request — from an Enneagram 8

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 4:42 pm By Tony Jones

I failed to respond to last week’s Question That Haunts. It didn’t capture my attention. I don’t have anything interesting to say about baptismal regeneration.
