Resources
Below are links to other web sites that I have found
to be useful, and they may be of interest to you as well. The internet is a
very rich resource of information, but it is sometimes not easy to find what
you may be looking for. See especially the last category where there are a number
of links to free electronic books. I will be updating this page as I discover
new resources, so you may want to check back from time to time.

important philosopher/theologian ever produced by the United States.
The Center not only has the greatest collection of Edwards' writings, but has
the ability to search those writings for words, phrases, titles, Scripture,
etc.

Monergism
Monergism is a great online resource of articles and information. On their
"About Us" page, the first goal listed is "To equip Christians in the truth by
making available the finest classic articles and resources of historic
orthodoxy. This is done in the hope that the church will embrace, and
recover the true Biblical doctrines of the historic faith." In case you
are interested, from Wikipedia (February 7, 2012): Monergism
describes the position in Christian theology of those who believe that God,
through the Holy Spirit, works to bring about effectually the salvation of
individuals through spiritual regeneration without cooperation from the
individual. Monergism is most often associated with Calvinism (like
Presbyterians and Dutch Reformed) and its doctrine of irresistible grace
and in particular with historic doctrinal differences between Calvinism on
the one hand and Arminianism on the other.
Scientific Evidence for the Existence of God
This is a vimeo/Veritas video lecture by astrophysicist Michael Strauss, given apparently in 2002
at Stanford University. While it does include evidence for the existence of God,
it also includes evidence for intelligent design. He makes the case that the
big bang theory for the origin of the universe is supported by the evidence,
and that developments now support that time itself began at the big bang, not just
space, matter, and energy. That means that we cannot speak about before
the big bang, because there wasn't any before, at least not in this
dimension. Sounds like Genesis 1:1 doesn't it! He stresses in his talk that he
is basing his conclusions on true science and not speculations. He quotes from
agnostic and atheistic scientists almost exclusively to establish his
conclusions. He claims that the results are not only reasonable but unavoidable.
The video lecture itself is some 38 minutes long, followed by another 38
minutes or so of questions and answers.
The
Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics
As the name implies, this center for Christian apologetics is located at
Oxford University in England. As part of a university, it offers
educational opportunities in Christian apologetics. It offers weekend
training programs, an MTh program
(Masters in Applied Theology), etc. Also, for those who qualify, it offers
doctoral fellowships in the area of philosophy. Scholars in the center include
Alister McGrath, Ravi Zacharias, John Lennox, and Os Guinness. Unfortunately,
there are no apologetics articles, etc. directly on this web site. However,
one can find articles, etc. for individuals, such as John Lennox, for example,
by clicking on his web link from the center web site.
Together for the Gospel
This web site is a resource of presentations made at the biennial conference,
Together for the Gospel. The conference is intended for pastors and church leaders,
but the presentations may well be of much wider interest. This conference began
in 2006, and has met in 2008, 2010, 2012, and in 2014 since. Most of the main
presentations are in high quality video, and include speakers such as Ligon
Duncan, Al Mohler, Mark Dever, John MacArthur, John Piper, Kevin DeYoung, etc.

Web Sites Critical of Evolution:
David Berlinski
Berlinski is probably an agnostic, but he wishes not to be labeled. He is of
Jewish heritage, but does not practice that faith. His web site is included here
because he is one of the most outspoken, and entertaining, critics of Darwinian
evolution, and of atheistism, that I know of.
Dissent From Darwinism
This web site primarily gives a list of scientists, mathematicians, and engineers
who hold a doctorate in their field who have signed the following statement:
"We are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural
selection to account for the complexity of life. Careful examination of the
evidence for Darwinian theory should be encouraged." The list includes Michael
Behe, David Berlinski, Jonathan Wells, William Dembski, and, I'm told (I haven't
actually counted), over 800 others.
Intelligent Design
This web site is a great resource for all things "intelligent design." It
includes basic information about intelligent design, videos, a list of
recommended books, articles about ID, organizations, blogs, etc.
