Christian Living

At Work and Play

The responsibility of the Christian intellectual is to integrate faith and knowledge. The data, insights, facts and discoveries must not be dealt with as though they belonged to a world other than that in which faith exists.

Orthodoxy and Orthopraxis

With the exception of the first introductory essay on polarization, the essays in this volume were presented at a conference on “Orthodoxy and Orthopraxis,” held at Redeemer College, Hamilton, Ontario on May 30-June 1, 1985.

The Certainty of Faith

The centuries preceding the French Revolution (1789) are in many ways different from the epoch that followed. The radical change of direction introduced into the life and thought of the nations by this tremendous event shattered the continuity of history and impacted the matter of our faith.

Harry Antonides finds fault with both these perspectives.
