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
Those who attempt to say that the Qur’an teaches the corruption of the earlier scriptures, often appeal to Qur’an 5:48, but this argument turns on the translation of the word
I’m reading through the Qu’ran one last time this year and wanted to follow along with a Tafsir. I discovered Quran Garden which was just the sort of thing I
The Qur’an claims that if it were not from God, there would be many contradictions in it. However, there is one Qur’anic verse which presents an inherent contradiction! In chapter

The Qur’an speaks about Allah helping the followers of Jesus and keeping them “uppermost”, but this presents a dilemma since, historically, this has to refer to Trinitarian Christians… which is
I often meet people who think that C.S. Lewis was English. He wasn’t, he was actually born and raised in Belfast. However, if anyone has heard one of the few remaining recordings of Lewis, they could easily be forgiven for this mistake since he has a remarkably “plummy” English accent.
Below you’ll find YouTube videos containing all the remaining audio of Lewis which I can find…
In my recent appearance on The Catholic Man Show, I mentioned that C.S. Lewis went to weekly confession to an Anglican priest. I thought I’d share one of his letters today where he points out the value of confessing our sins out loud:
…there is the gain in self-knowledge: most of [us] have never really faced the facts about ourselves until we uttered them aloud in plain words, calling a spade a spade. I certainly feel I have profited enormously by the practice.

This past week we had our first “Inkling Meeting” in San Diego, so I sat down with Matt and chatted about what happened and read some of the poetry of the night…

The group “Shane & Shane” do a fantastic job on this song, “I will wait for you”, which is based on one of my favourite Psalms, Psalm 130…
Out of the depths I cry to You In darkest places I will call Incline Your ear to me anew And hear my cry for mercy Lord
Were You to count my sinful ways How could I come before Your throne Yet full forgiveness meets my gaze I stand redeemed by grace alone
I will wait for You, I will wait for You On Your word I will rely I will wait for You, surely wait for You Till my soul is satisfied
So put Your hope in God alone Take courage in His power to save Completely and forever won By Christ emerging from the grave
Now He has come to make a way And God Himself has paid the price That all who trust in Him today Find healing in His sacrifice That all who trust in Him today Find healing in His sacrifice
Oh I will wait for You, I will wait for You Through the storm and through the night I will wait for You, surely wait for You For Your love is my delight
