Christian Research Journal Reads is a podcast brought to you by the Christian Research Institute
and the Christian Research Journal. Christian Research Journal Reads presents audio versions of Christian
Research Journal articles. As the flagship publication of the Christian Research Institute, the
journal seeks to equip followers of Christ to think and to live christianly, to
exercise truth and experience life. Truth, especially essential Christian doctrine, forms the
basis for how we live our lives in Christ. As the Apostle Paul instructed
Timothy in One Timothy four sixteen, we are to watch our lives and doctrine
closely, persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both
yourself and your hearers. The Christian Research Journal magazine enjoyed a print incarnation of
almost forty five years. Now it's exclusively an online publication at equipp dot org.
The journal consists of thousands of free articles on Christian discernment and apologetics,
specializing in in depth research of new religious movements, atheism origins including intelligent design,
theistic evolution and scientific naturalism, aberrant Christian movements and teachings, ethical issues,
historical and philosophical apologetics, and cultural discernment and apologetics, for example,
in film, television, media, theology, technology, and literature. The
online Journal provides Christians information they need to discern doctrinal errors, evangelize people of
other faiths or no faith, and provide a strong defense of Christian beliefs and
ethics. The online Journal's mission is both evangelistic and pastoral. Evangelistic in that
it is dedicated to furthering the proclamation and defense of the historic Gospel of Jesus
Christ, pastoral in that it's dedicated to equipping his followers to identify and distinguish
between essential Christian doctrine and doctrine that's peripheral, aberrant, or heretical, and
ultimately, to help members of Christ's body to experience his promise of life,
that is, life to the full in union with God in Christ. In
its approach to this mission, the journal strives to be scholarly, unreadable,
uncompromising, and charitable, offering analysis and critiques that are biblically and rationally and
factually sound. We hope that through these audio articles, you're not only equipped
to proclaim and defend your faith but that is a disciple of Jesus Christ.
You'll also draw closer to Him in your walk with him. You can find
the written version of each article that is an episode of the Christian Research Journal
Reads at the website of the Christian Research Institute EQUIP dot org. That's e

will bring to you in this audio format.
