Other religions & world views

Atheism
– This Greg Bahnsen debate. The first port of call for anyone engaging an atheist.
– This Creation or Chaos teaching series by R.C. Sproul. (Not all the lectures in this series are free, but they are well worth your money!)

Islam

Other denominations

Roman Catholicism
– William Webster’s lectures on ‘Roman Catholic Tradition: It’s Roots and Evolution’ is excellent for understanding the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.
– James White’s debates with Roman Catholics are so helpful for understanding both sides of the argument.

Pentecostalism
– Strange Fire Conference, including talks by John MacArthur, R.C. Sproul and Joni Eareckson Tada.

Theology

– R.C. Sproul has some great free teaching series. Some good ones to start with are ‘Chosen by God’, ‘Justification by Faith Alone’ and ‘The Holiness of God’.
– If you want to get really deep into Christian theology, listen to lectures from some of the great theologians of our time at Westminster Seminary on iTunes. I recommend Scott Oliphint’s lectures on the Doctrine of God, Carl Trueman on the Reformation and Cornelius Van Til on Christ and Human Thought.
– This talk on the Trinity
– In 2014 Michael Horton gave an excellent series of lectures on the Holy Spirit. Check them out here.

The Bible

Canon (if you’re wondering why our Bibles have the books they have)
– Michael Kruger’s book ‘Canon Revisited’
– This article on facts about the NT canon
– This article on the misconceptions about the NT canon

If you want to read the Bible with a friend, pick up one of our bookmarks / invitations next time you’re at Lights for passages to read and questions to discuss (5Rs © AFES).

Gender & sexuality

– This article on what it means to be created male and female
