Slavery in the Bible: Articles & Audio - Apologetics 315

Brian Auten has posted a summary of several helpful article and an audio answering objections and giving discussion about the topic of slavery in the Bible. I don't agree with everything but it's important to see how people look at these issues. For me, being a descendant of slaves, make the topic more than just pedantic. It is emotional for a lot of people and sober discussion is a good thing. Follow the link to see Brian's post.

Arrogant Christianity? MP3 Audio by Tom Gilson - Apologetics 315

Brian Auten posted another gem recently. Here is a lecture by Tom Gilson discussing Christian arrogance. Brian wrote the following in his introduction:

Are Christians arrogant when we say we know the truth? Is it morally acceptable for us to say we have access to truth that applies to every person? Or are we being offensive and rude, trying to impose our version of truth on everyone else?

This addresses one of popular objections to Christianity. I've heard it a lot from comedian Bill Maher. This is definitely a lecture worth listening to. It intrigues me because the objection presupposes that morality and truth are relative. If they are relative how can you condemn anyone for being arrogant? Calling someone "arrogant" is making a negative claim about a person and they know it.
