Read more: The Case For ChristAfter I came out as an atheist decades ago, a good and well-meaning friend of mine suggested that I read Lee Strobel’s The Case For Christl.

Read more: The ABC’s Of The Old Testament Part II: It’s In The Verses EditionThere is simply too much content in the Old Testament for one ABCs. Therefore, the honest and respectful analysis of the most violent and unhinged Testament of the Bible must continue.
