The Christian Atheist

by Dr. John D. Wise

The Christian Atheist is devoted to exploring all of life as it relates to faith in Christ. Philosophy, psychology, science, art and literature all contribute to our pursuit of Truth and the life that we are called to live, to the adventure of discovering the world and our place within it. The Author of the universe speaks to us through many means, and we try to attune our minds to all of them here, to discover and live the Way to Life through the Word, spoken, written and experienced. It IS possible to have respect for science, a fully rational outlook, a 21st century worldview AND be Christian.If you enjoy our content, consider donating through PayPal via https://ko-fi.com/thechristianatheisthttps://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLS9AH1236qO_UWA6dSXWf2BLxJWJP48yZhttps://wisewordsforyouroccasion.wordpress.comhttps://www.facebook.com/JnJWiseWords
