Bjorn Andreas Bull-Hansen is a novelist and youtuber specializing in Viking culture, bush craft and even some political topics. I’ve enjoyed several of his outdoor videos and appreciated his generally conservative and moral outlook on life. Recently, however, Bull-Hansen turned from carving sticks and politics to religion – specifically Paganism. Now if he were just…
In this article I wish to offer some clarification on different categories of arguments for the existence of God. I am not weighing in on the relative value any of them here. Rather, I am just pointing out some distinctions and categories that are often confused or missed at the popular level. Also, due to non-standard…
Her is a talk I did for a series on “The Way, the Truth, and the Life” on knowing Truth at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church.
My first book (originally published with Moody Press) has been updated and rebooted for the 2020’s! Ignatius Press reached out to me and asked about redoing this book for my Catholic audience, and it gave me a chance to include some material previously cut by the original publisher as well as add new insights from…

During my doctoral studies, however, I came across…

But what happens when Catholics show that there are also Catholic proof texts – and some of them undermine foundational traditions of Protestantism itself? Click HERE for full video!
The Problem of Evil is an ancient difficulty that arises from the question of how an all-powerful, all-good God could exist given the amount of evil in the world. While atheism has no good response to evil, and theism has some very good ones – Christianity alone can account for both evil and suffering in…
