Preparing the way – a conversation

Preamble:  “One of the unfortunate things about Christianity in Jamaica is that it is largely shaped by American Fundamentalism.  As such it has tended to be anti-intellectual, coming across as necessarily slaying the mind’s activity for us to be heaven-bound (wherever that is).  It seems to me that a true Biblical faith nicely marries prudence, … More Preparing the way – a conversation

In Defense of Truth
