What I am reading now

Over to the right side of the screen there is a "what I am reading now" list. Some of you may notice from time to time heretical works or works from questionable authors. Like any apologist seeking to keep up on the latest heresies and doctrinal errors attacking the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the fundamental doctrines of Scripture, I actively seek out these heresies and attempt to read them from their original sources.

You may also see books that contradict each other. For example, you may see both Normal Geisler's Chosen But Free as well as James White's The Potter's Freedom (a response to Chosen But Free). Our first step in evaluating the truthfulness of any theological claim is in light of Scripture. However, when theological divisions cut very close to each other (and to Scripture) it is also very helpful to evaluate these claims in light of their opposition. This can help expose and flaws or gaps in either side of the argument as we seek to discover the truth as revealed in God's Holy Word.

So please don't be alarmed at the titles you may see from time to time in that list. If you have any specific questions about a book you see in that list, please feel free to ask them in the comments of any post on this blog.
