ABOUT DR. DOUGLAS GROOTHUIS

A Call for Thoughtful Christian Engagement

“We need more thoughtful and well-informed Christians in the marketplace of ideas, even in the hot spots. Many have never heard a thoughtful defense of Christianity. We are called by Jesus Christ to engage these people. Christians should know what they believe and why they believe it. As they grow in their confidence that Christianity is amply supported by reason and evidence, they should likewise grow in their courage for the Christian witness. We do not have the luxury of sitting out the battle for knowledge. No Christian can afford to be on vacation from speaking the truth in love in the strength of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:15). Eternity is too long and God’s glory too important to do Christianity on the cheap.” ~Douglas Groothuis
