"Newbigin is interested in how we can talk to others about Jesus in a way that is understood by those becoming further and further removed from Christianity’s language and worldview." - Christianity Today
"I’d lodge my objections, and I would do it in a very conversational, friendly way, but along the way, some people actually knew what they were talking about. Christians actually knew why they believed what they believed began to encounter me and offer me some things that got me thinking maybe this isn’t as silly as I once thought it was" - Fox
"The Bible says men love darkness and hate the light, neither will they come to the light lest their deeds be exposed,” Comfort said, noting that this love for darkness clouds human judgment. “So, everybody loves their sins.” - Christian Post
"AiG was officially incorporated as an organization in Kentucky on December 27, 1993. A little later that winter, Mike Zovath and I spent some time in this area to determine if this is where we would begin the organization called Answers in Genesis." - AiG
The rhythm of my life in recent years is such that I have little time for paper and ink reading but lots of time for listening. In 2018, I read about sixty books that way. Though nearly all of them edified me in one way or another, most would fall into the category of relatively frivolous fiction. My thinking was that listening, especially while driving, exercising, or doing chores, wouldn’t permit enough concentration to do any thoughtful non-fiction reading—so why bother?
I was wrong. Though the good is often the enemy of the best, the reverse is often true: passing up on the merely good in hopes of gaining the best often gains neither.
Last summer, a discussion here at SharperIron raised the topic of Nancy Pearcey’s Finding Truth, and we later posted Don Johnson’s Proclaim and Defend review of the book. I felt drawn to the book and decided to give it a whirl in audio. The audiobook amply rewarded the effort—enough to compel me to write my own review.
The Audible version of Finding Truth clocks in at 8:44:19 and is read by Pamela Klein. I normally listen at 1.10x or faster and found that Klein’s pace was about right for me at 1.10x. Klein’s reading is not at all robotic, as is sometimes the case with nonfiction audiobooks. Though Klein seems to lose Pearcy’s flow of thought at times, the reading is clear and alive enough to not be a distraction.
"[T]here is no shortage of fables circulating out there. Here are a few, easily-debunked myths concerning Christianity that may invite themselves to this season’s holiday feasting." - Cripplegate
"What follows is a short list of some popular logical fallacies that both believers and unbelievers tend to use in support of or opposition to the Christian faith." - Mark Farnham
