Debates/Other Publications

This section contains various religious debates that have been conducted in the past. Over the years I have become a lover of debate books. This is because truth shines brighter when plainly contrasted with error. Reading these debates has helped to give me the boldness all preachers need in presenting the gospel of Christ. Having engaged in a few debates myself, I take joy in preaching the gospel to the lost and shutting the mouths of false teachers. Feel free to read and share with others.
