One of the first things which struck me about the Qur’an the first time I read it was how it can suddenly and jarringly jump to a completely different scene,
I’ve often been told that the Torah and the Injil were only for the Jews. However, two problems: The Pickthall translation doesn’t hide it: He hath revealed unto thee (Muhammad)
John Fontain recently debated David Wood on the Islamic Dilemma, which points out that the Qu’ran both affirms the Torah and Gospel while contradicting them. John has a rather different

A couple of nights ago, I was having a conversation about abortion and my friend seemed confused over the meaning of the term “human fetus”.
I explained that “human” denotes that the creature is a member of our species and “fetus” indicates the level of development of the aforementioned human, much in the same way we use the words “infant”, “toddler”, “adolescent” and “adult”…
He seemed to really struggle with the idea that “elephant fetus” simply means an elephant at an early stage of development. So, with that in mind, have you ever wondered what an elephant fetus looks like as it’s growing to maturity?
“How much do you have to hate somebody to not proselytize? How much do you have to hate someone to believe everlasting life is possible and not tell them that?”
Today’s episode will be a little different from usual. This week, I tell Matt about my trip to The Kilns, the home of C.S. Lewis in Oxford. Afterwards, we finish up the episode by responding to some listener questions about God and gender.
The audio quality varies over the course of the episode. We actually recorded this a little while ago and thankfully have improved our recording process quite a bit since then.
I haven’t heard any music from John Waller in quite some time, but just now I did some googling and came across this rather sweet song, a duit with Josee Waller. It’s called “The Marriage Prayer”:
Father, I said till death do us part I want to mean it with all of my heart Help me to love You more than I love her Then I know I can love her more than anyone else
And bring her in Your presence today Make her what You want her to be
I pray to hear her heart I pray she’ll love You more I pray to cherish and serve her And we’ll bring You glory today, I pray I pray
Father, I said till death do us part I want to mean it with all of my heart Help me to love You more than I love him Then I know I can love him more than anyone else
And bring him in Your presence today Make him what You want him to be
I pray to hear his heart I pray he’ll love You more I pray to strengthen and serve him We’ll bring You glory today, I pray
Lord, help me love her As You love the church, Your bride Help me submit to him As I submit to You, my life
I pray to hear her heart I pray he’ll love You more I pray to cherish and serve her We’ll bring You glory today, today
I pray to hear her heart I pray she’ll love You more I pray to cherish and serve her We’ll bring You glory today I pray, I pray
Next week our C.S. Lewis bookclub will be going to see a one man theatre show, retelling the life of C.S. Lewis.
As I was browsing the Internet, I came across a theatre recommendation from C.S. Lewis’ stepson, Douglas Gresham:
The Logos Theatre had put on a production of Prince Caspian earlier this year.
While that play has now ended, I checked their website and saw that they have another play about Lewis and Bonhoeffer running this week and there’ll be a production of The House and His Boy next year. So, if you’re in the South Carolina area, you might want to check it out!
