. . . Touchstone has been to me both an inspiration in its defense of Christian orthodoxy against internal revisionists, external enemies, and especially those well-meaning souls who profess to be friends of religion and "spirituality" while wishing to moderate its "unfashionability," and a refreshing oasis of thoughtful Christian friends and thinkers who embody a common purpose and practice respectful reflection on the serious matters of disagreement which continue to divide such "Mere Christians."

The Leading Edge

Freed Science by Phillip E. Johnson

THE LEADING EDGE by Phillip E. Johnson

Freed Science

In August 2011, I attended a conference in Seattle, part of which was devoted to commemorating the 20th anniversary of the original publication of Darwin on Trial. This book, according to the conference participants, changed the world by redefining the terms of the debate between evolution and creation. Changing the terms of that long-deadlocked debate was exactly what I had intended to do, and I hope the conferees were not wrong to credit me with accomplishing so much.
