Senior Research Scholar
I believe deeply that “all truth is God’s truth.” That historic affirmation means that when we discover and grasp truth in the world and in life we move closer to its divine Author. This approach relies on the Christian idea of God’s two revelatory books - the metaphorical book of nature and the literal book of Scripture.
As an RTB scholar I have a great passion to help people understand and see the truth and relevance of Christianity’s truth-claims. My writings and lectures at RTB focus on showing how the great doctrinal truths of the faith (the Trinity, the Incarnation, the Atonement, creation ex nihilo, salvation by grace, etc.) are uniquely compatible with reason. This approach reflects the historic Christian apologetics statement - “faith seeking understanding.”
I work to help myself and others fulfill Peter’s words in 2 Peter 3:18: “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.”

The Bible teaches true Christianity is being made a new Creation in Christ. Galatians 2:20. When we are made new, we have a new heart and desires that motivates us to live out what God has worked in. There are many people who are moral and do good but do not have Life. Jesus did not die to make bad people good, but to make dead people alive.
Thank you for sharing. I love CS Lewis in the sense that he has helped me to see things in a special way and has helped me to think more deeply. I agree how Christian apologists need to truly understand the Gospel. I have been so heartbroken after having invested in schooling from a very prominent late apologist who I now believe did not know the Gospel. It is tragic and sad for so many. Without the Gospel we have nothing, no matter how learned and eloquent someone may be. God chose the foolishness of preaching and His ways confound the wise. Jesus is all in all.
