Your Instructor
Course creator Dr. Frank Turek is a dynamic speaker and award-winning author and co-author of five books: Stealing from God: Why Atheists Need God to Make Their Case, I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist, Correct, Not Politically Correct: About Same-Sex Marriage and Transgenderism, Hollywood Heroes, and Legislating Morality.
As the President of CrossExamined.org, Frank presents powerful and entertaining evidence for Christianity at churches, high schools, and at secular college campuses that often begin hostile to his message. He has also debated several prominent atheists including Christopher Hitchens and Michael Shermer, Founding Publisher of Skeptic Magazine.
"The Bible was written for us--but not to us. We're not part of the ancient world that informed its writers. We're strangers to their ideas, experiences, and worldview. Because we're cultural and historical outsiders, what we read in the Bible can often be perplexing and impenetrable."
