The Christian Atheist

John's interview with Michael Wiseman of THE BIBLE SAYS WHAT?!? podcast.   Michael represents an atheist worldview that has not yet thought deeply enough about the issues to find the dependence of human reason on divine reason, and who rejects, as I did, the notion that atheism represents a faith position. I truly enjoyed chatting with him. He was warm and human, and my interactions with him both...

Lewis's The Silver Chair (Part 3) and some of the lessons and themes we can draw from this edition of the Chronicles of Narnia.   Qu'ils sont beaux les pieds!   If you enjoy our content, consider donating through PayPal via https://ko-fi.com/thechristianatheist   https://www.youtube.com/c/TheChristianAtheist/featured https://www.facebook.com/JnJWiseWords https://wisewords...

Jenny and I discuss an article by "ultra-leftie" Debbie Lerman, "The Catastrophic Covid Convergence," one of the articles we suggest in The Christian Atheist episode #65, "Update: 'On the Closing of Our Churches.'" We have learned SO MUCH since I published my commentary on March 20, 2020 ... well, at least some of us have. Half our population seems to be wearing blinders. "We are led to believe a...

In one of our first appearances as the Christian Atheist on March 20th, 2020, we made comments on the emergent and uncertain Covid response. It is time to revisit that issue with the perspective gained by time and research. It is time for the Church, for each of us, to stand up for the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The following links are all vital to understanding this issue. At a bare minimum, e...

In this episode Jenny and I discuss our series on the Evident, Evidence and Faith with a view to clarifying the complexities.   No Compromise is designed to make the themes and ideas of The Christian Atheist more accessible through conversation. It is our prayer that you find our discussions on No Compromise enlightening, entertaining and, more importantly, valuable in your walk with our Great God...

In this episode Jenny and I discuss C. S. Lewis's THE HORSE AND HIS BOY, discovering that it is the most personal account of finding Christ in the Chronicles of Narnia. Shasta, the main character, mirrors Lewis's own conversion, and the Christian Atheist's return to Christ from atheism, showing how encountering God happens in our everyday experience.   No Compromise is designed to make the themes...

In this episode Jenny and I conclude our discussion on C. S. Lewis's THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE.   No Compromise is designed to make the themes and ideas of The Christian Atheist more accessible through conversation. As usual, Jenny's instincts are dead on - my dry didacticism requires a more popular appeal. It is our prayer that you find our discussions on No Compromise enlightening, e...

Jenny and I are taking the week off to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The success of our No Compromise conversations, in which I always say, "Qu'ils sont beaux, lex pieds" to introduce my Jenny, is here explained. Jenny was God's gift of grace to me, my path back to His arms. On Valentine's Day 2022, we posted my original poem to Jenny on our Simple Gifts podcast. We repost that episode here o...

Uncle Andrew in The Magician's Nephew exemplifies in one brief vignette ALL that I have been attempting to say in our series, "The Evident, Evidence and Faith." Here is presented in a pellucid literary picture the nature of faith, of the evident, and evidence. William Blake wrote: “We are led to believe a lie/When we see not thro’ the eye.” This couplet exemplifies how contemporary thinking (espec...

This, our concluding episode to this series, will constitute two-weeks' worth of episodes. I did not have the heart to divide this episode into two, as it was written as an organic unit. Sorry for the length, but I could not wrap up the points more succinctly. What is faith? From where does it originate? What does it mean to have evidence for what you believe? Is faith the foundation for knowledge...

No Compromise is an experimental new feature on The Christian Atheist. If you are a regular listener, you know my voice, AND you know our story, or as much of it as we’ve told on the Christian Atheist. My wife Jenny was the “looking-glass” through which I returned to Christ. I tell the story in episodes 2-8, “The Machinery of the Looking-Glass.” Qu’ils sont beaux les pieds! Isaiah 52:7. (If you'd...

We resume our series examining the concepts of the evident, evidence and faith. What is faith? From where does it originate? What does it mean to have evidence for what you believe? Is faith the foundation for knowledge, or knowledge the foundation for faith? Most atheists and theists have never thought systematically about these questions, but they are foundational for any rational conclusions we...
