Alex McFarland is an author, Christian apologist and popular commentator on Fox & Friends, the morning show on the Fox News Cable Network. He’s a regular on Fox News’ The strategy Room and this year he joined Marvin Sanders to co-host Explore the Word on American Family Radio.
McFarland formerly served as the President of Southern Evangelical Seminary and is also an author releasing two new books this year—10 Questions Every Christian Must Answer and Inside the Mind of the Skeptic.
A.C. Grayling’s The Good Book: A Secular Bible and another offering called 21st Century Testament are literary works that attempt to teach truth and virtue from a human perspective as an alternative to the Christian Bible.
According to McFarland these efforts are driven by the idea that a naturalistic worldview is the best way to understand reality and discern truth. This view communicates that we don’t have revelation but speculation.
McFarland believes America has become like Israel in Judges 5:8. We have chosen new gods and there is war within the gates. These books would appear to prove his point and amplify the reality of a spiritual warfare that is taking place.
Are there limits to pluralism? What about the battle between Islam vs. secularism in France as well as America? What books can you read to help you understand the times? You’ll get the answers along with the views of listeners when you join Vic and Alex for this stimulating edition of Crosstalk.
