This past Sunday, our church, Midland Evangelical Free Church, hosted a friendly dialog between an atheist and a Christian. Regretfully, I was not present to hear the discussion. I have been told it went very well and that both Hillary and Pastor Jay did and excellent job. A website has been created to to follow up on that dialog.

If this is a conversation that interests you, Tim Keller has just released another great resource based upon his book, The Reason for God. It is an unscripted conversation he had with six skeptics that has been filmed and produced as part of a six session DVD. Here is a brief description of the DVD from Zondervan:

Pastor and author Timothy Keller meets with a group of skeptics over six sessions to debate their doubts and questions about Christianity. Using literature, philosophy, real-life experiences and constant references to the Bible, Keller explains how the belief in a Christian God is a sound and rational one. Filmed live and unscripted as Keller interacts with the group, this curriculum models the way in which Christians can address the six most common questions from skeptics. It also provides the resources for Christians to meet with their own group.

For those considering using the curriculum in a group setting, Tim Chester has provided a review of the DVD and corresponding study guide.

Here is the trailer for the DVD:
