About

Public discourse today is all too often entirely uncivil.

Christians in the Anglosphere, and apologists in the evidential tradition, should feel at home conversing in the public square. Historically, this arena developed as a result of the Reformation, and one of its key shapers, seventeenth century philosopher John Locke, wrote as a Christian apologist himself!

But today, many people assume that religious beliefs are private, and have no business being invoked in public policy discussion. This is just at odds with the classical liberal tradition, which tolerates all comers, and emphasizes the virtue of charity to achieve mutual understanding. When Christians excel in this endeavor, we demonstrate diligence, reasonableness, and a careful regard for truth. This, too, is our witness to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
