How to Talk About God in a Skeptical Age: An Interview with Joshua Chatraw

 

Why is it that people don't just believe Christianity is false; they assume it isn't good? How can followers of Jesus effectively communicate the biblical story of his grace and redemption in today's skeptical, divisive, and technologically saturated world? How should Christians be respectful of unbelievers, all the while remaining focused on Jesus? Bible Gateway interviewed Joshua Chatraw about his book, Telling a Better Story: How to Talk About God in a Skeptical Age (Zondervan, 2020).


 

The Biblical Method for Soothing Rage: An Interview with Scott Sauls

 

In a defensive and divided era, how can followers of Jesus reveal a better way of living, one that loves others as God loves us?

Bible Gateway interviewed Scott Sauls about his book, A Gentle Answer: Our "Secret Weapon" in an Age of Us Against Them (Thomas Nelson, 2020).
