Debate Announcement
On Februrary 5th, I will be debating Roman Catholic Dan Marcum (a Skype debate) on the proposition “Sola Scriptura is an essential Christian doctrine, and necessary for instruction in faith and practice“. My goal is to argue this proposition presuppositionally. I’m planning on a couple of podcasts in the near future to give the audience some preparation, and to ensure my opponent knows where I’m standing, going into the debate, so stay tuned.…

Debate News
Due to issues encountered with resuming the debate, and an inability to resolve the difficulties posed by the inordinate time taken for the first portion; we’re just going to post the completed portion sometime today. If you haven’t heard, the debate clocked in at an astonishing 8 hours – and we had only reached question 10 in my opponent’s *first* cross-examination period. Since he is unwilling to accept time limitations for the remainder, I think it’s best to just end things here, as he didn’t show up this morning (our time) as invited. If he’d like to submit his remaining …

Quick Updates
The site has been noticeably quieter as the contributors have been busy with various responsibilities elsewhere. The brief updates below may therefore be a bit late to some of the readers.
The guys over at Reformed Forum are doing an excellent job and I look forward to seeing what interviews and discussions they will have in the future. If you have not checked it out yet make sure to do so.
Jeff Downs recently pointed AOMin readers to the discussion of Michael Sudduth’s book The Reformed Objection to Natural Theology which aired on Christ the Center.

Regretfully…
Mitch and I have been extremely busy as of late so that we have been prevented from even setting a decent time for debating one another as we had planned to do some time ago. Since I felt like this was unfinished business I approached Mitch about it in private and we discussed several ways we might be able to do the debate despite school and other responsibilities. Mitch has formal education in the same areas as me and took an interest in presuppositional apologetics which resulted in some familiarity with the method and its arguments that most other potential …

Back to the Blogging
Thanks to those who expressed concern over me taking a break! It is important to be faithful in every area of life and not just faithful in some areas at the expense of others. There was a great deal of work on my plate and some very minor health related concerns that I needed to take care of and something had to temporarily go.
Hopefully everyone enjoyed the links that were provided while I was away. Now the break is over and I should be back to blogging. 🙂…
