Apologetics and the Transcendentals
I’ve been thinking a lot about apologetics lately, particularly in terms of the best approaches to use today. For a variety of reasons, I am not sure the traditional approaches based on reason, argumentation, and evidence are as effective as they used to be. In my...
Sola Scriptura and the Creed
So far in this series, we have talked about the reason for the Council of Nicaea and its decision affirmed in the Nicene Creed, Constantine’s role in the Council, and the subsequent development of the Nicene Creed. But for Protestants, particularly of the evangelical...
Enchantment Course – Teaser Video: Medieval Astronomy
How does the medieval view of astronomy influence our contemporary understanding of enchantment?
The Further Development of the Nicene Creed
In the first post in our series for the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, I looked at the Arian controversy and the Council’s conclusion on the deity of Christ. In the second post, I looked at the role of Constantine at the Council. Here, I want to look at...
Constantine at Nicaea
There are a number of frankly bizarre conspiracy theories about the Council of Nicaea’s decision to affirm the deity of Christ, most of which involve the role of the Emperor Constantine. Constantine's Conversion To understand the controversy about the emperor’s...

The Image of God: Chapter 1
The Image of God and Stewardship To be human One of the most important statements in Scripture about what it means to be human occurs in the very first chapter of the Bible: Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion...
1700 Years Ago …
This year is the 1,700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, which met to settle the Arian controversy. These days, the Council itself seems to be best remembered for the probably apocryphal story of St. Nicholas of Myra slapping Arius, though the Nicene Creed that...
More Unearthed Evidence of Early Christianity
Ancient finding may mean Christianity spread wider and faster than once thought.
Tales from the Perilous Realm
I have been a Tolkien fan since I first read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings in 1976 just before heading to college. I reread them every break for the next few years and bought every book by or about Tolkien I could find, including The Silmarillion when it first...
Historical Tour of Ireland
This summer, I will be leading a historical tour of Ireland. The tour, which will include both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, will hit a lot of history, from an Iron Age ring fort to walking tours of Dublin, Belfast, and Derry touching on recent history...
Around the Web
As a Senior Fellow and Columnist, Dr. Sunshine publishes regularly articles on various topics on the Breakpoint website.
The Pugcast is produced by The Logos Center and features C. R. Wiley, Dr. Glenn Sunshine, and Dr. Thomas Price. The Pugcast is recorded at The Corner Pug–a well-known watering hole in tony West Hartford, Connecticut. (Hence the name, “pugcast”–also the reason there is so much background noise.) The show could be described as “3 over-educated Reformed guys riff on philosophy, theology, and stuff that bugs them.” Each episode we invite you to take a seat in our booth and listen in on our conversation.
Aside from the earliest episodes, we are also available on the FLF (Fight, Laugh, Feast) Network at crosspolitic.com.
