Writings

My Writings is a small selection of some things I have written.

Memoirs

I've been a publisher since 2014, under the name Prospect Avenue Books. The books I've published under that name are:

• The Bones of My People, the memoir of my late mother-in-law. I actually wrote it myself, adapted from a transcript of her telling her story to her daughter, Rita Baltutt Kyle.
• Yesterday's Sandhills, the memoir of my later sister-in-law, Rita Kyle. It takes place during the same time frame as The Bones of My People.

Fiction

• Reflections of a Ring Wraith - this is a little tale inspired by The Lord of the Rings.

Theology

Faith

• What is Knowledge in the Context of Faith? - If I say "I know that God lives," what do I mean?

Christology

• The Mathematics of the Atonement of Jesus Christ - Reflections upon Christ's Atonement
• The Roles of Justice, Sacrifice and Mercy in the Atonement of Christ - Further reflections upon Christ's Atonement
• Why Christ had to be the Son of God - Thoughts on the necessity of Jesus Christ being the literal Son of God

The Scriptures

• My Testimony of the Book of Mormon - How I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God.
• My Testimony of the Bible - How I know that the Bible is the word of God

Cosmology

• The Omniscience of God - This is cosmology because it deals with the nature of the universe.
• Hawking's Straw Man - Stephen Hawking's argument against the existence of God is not the slam-dunk he thought it was.

Apologetics

• A Response to "Why Mormonism is not Christianity – the Issue of Christology" - in which I respond to an article criticizing LDS Christology that appeared on Patheos back in 2011.
• Answering the question: "Did you know that the Bible says that toward the end of times there will be false religions like Latter Day Saints?" - in which I responded to a question on the website Quora.com.

Eschatology

• The Fermi Paradox in Light of Moses 1:33-39 - A theological solution to the Fermi Paradox
