Trying to write an article for the HuffPost,this is what Ive got so far: Some have great confidence in skeptical scholarship, and even I once had confidence in it, more than anyone else. If anyone else thinks that they were assured in their unbelief I was more committed: born of unbelieving parents, never baptized or dedicated; on scholarly credentials, a Ph.D from a secular university; as to zeal, mocking the church; as to ideological righteousness, totally radicalized. But whatever intellectual superiority I thought I had over believers, I now count it is as sheer ignorance. Indeed, I count everything in my former life as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing both the historical Jesus and the risen Messiah. For his sake I have given up trying to be the hipster atheist, I consider that old deal pure filth, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a CV that’ll get tenured at an Ivy League School, but knowing that I’ve bound myself to Jesus and where he is there I shall also be too.
