Moore on the Wilson-Hitchens Debate

by

Russell Moore nicely summarizes the Wilson-Hitchens Debate: "Throughout the debate Wilson challenged Hitchens as to the foundational basis of his ongoing moral judgments. Hitchens seemed to misunderstand Wilson's point as being that an atheist couldn't be moral while Wilson, echoing Romans 2, repeatedly reasserted that, no, the issue is that an atheist cannot account rationally for his morality."

by

Mark Dever, in his first post in a series of ten, credits the writings of C.H. Spurgeon as one of the ten big reasons for the rise of Calvinism among Christians born in the 1970s and 1980s. Dever recalls: "At Together for the Gospel, April 2006, at one point I asked people to stand by ages. Out of 3,000 we had a few senior citizens. Some guys in their 50's. A lot in their 40's. A TON in their 30's. And even MORE in their 20's. Now, there could be a lot of reasons for that, but let me simply say that when Collin Hansen came out with his interesting article about "Young, Restless and … [Read more...] about The Ascendancy of Calvinism Among Young Adults
