PWJ: S1E34 – AA – Justin Wiggins

Today will be an “After Hours” episode of The Eagle and Child, a new kind of format which we will occasionally intersperse among our regular programmes. In these episodes I will be talking to C.S. Lewis authors and enthusiasts.

Today I will be interviewing Justin Wiggins, who recently published his book, Surprised By Agape, which chronicles his own journey of faith and describes the role that C.S. Lewis played in that journey…

Please send any objections, comments or questions, either via email through my website or tweet us @pintswithjack or message us via Instagram!

Music Monday: The Stand

Today Hunter Thompson sings “The Stand”…

[Verse]
You stood before creation
Eternity within Your hands
You spoke all life into motion
My soul now to stand
You stood before my failure
And carried the cross for my shame
My sin weighed upon Your shoulders
My soul now to stand

[Chorus]
So what can I say And what could I do
But offer this heart O God Completely to You

[Verse 2]
So I’ll walk upon salvation Your Spirit alive in me
This life to declare Your promise
My soul now to stand

[Chorus]
So what can I say
And what could I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You
So what can I say
And what could I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You

[Bridge]
So I’ll stand With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all
I’ll stand My soul Lord to You surrendered
All I am is Yours

The New Atheism and the Five Ways

One of my challenges this year was to become better acquainted with St. Thomas Aquinas. As a result, I’ve dug more into Thomas’ “Five Ways”, five proofs for the existence of God which appear at the start of the Summa.

I generally haven’t been very impressed with the rebuttals of the Five Ways by the New Atheists. In the article below, Dr. William-Lane Craig reviews the Five Ways and looks at the typical criticisms of them he receives from New Atheists…
