I've had a better chance to look at the Be Thinking web site, and put a link into my places to visit side bar. I've copied the following from the about us tab on their site:
bethinking.org aims to bring together the best possible resources for thinking about and communicating the Christian faith. Its goal is to help to prepare all Christians to provide an answer to those who deny the truth of Christianity. Whether that’s answering the attacks of Richard Dawkins, discussing our faith with a Muslim colleague or chatting about the latest episode of Dr Who with a neighbour, bethinking.org aims to provide you with talks and articles that stimulate you to think about your faith and its relation to the world and culture around us, and then to show how Christianity is not only true, but provides the answers to life’s biggest questions.
The technical term for all this is ‘apologetics’. Whether you are a student, at home or at work, we want bethinking.org to help you to talk about your Christian faith in a way that is relevant, attractive, true and culturally aware.
I like the description of apologetics as 'attractive'. Yes, we must strive for relevance, truth and cultural awareness, but attractiveness is so important. We can often speak the truth in relevant and aware ways which are far from attractive. Here is a skill many of us need to learn.
I'm grateful to the UCCF for this site and rejoice that there is so much good and useful information on it. I'm in danger of not getting any work done today so keen am I to read more on this site! Keep watching, I'll add some comments to some of the articles in days to come.
