Mehr zum Weiterdenken, Lesen oder Anschauen über Begründet Glauben
Hier geht’s zur Sammlung von Büchern, Aufsätzen und Videos.
Warum sind hier so viele Links „aus ganz unterschiedlichen Richtungen“? Wegen der Vielfalt der Meinungen.
„Begründet glauben ist eine Plattform für einen konstruktiven Dialog zwischen Wissenschaften, Weltanschauungen und dem christlichen Glauben.“
Mit Videos, Texten und vielem mehr! Diese tolle Webseite ist seit 1.10.2016 online und wächst dauernd weiter! (Sie entstand also etliche Jahre nach begruendetglauben.at – die Initiatoren haben uns damals freundlicherweise gefragt, ob wir etwas dagegen hätten, wenn die Seite so heißt. Natürlich hatten wir nichts dagegen!)
„Deine Fragen an Gott.“
Laufend werden Fragen zu Glaubensthemen ansprechend und kompetent beantwortet.

Catech’eria – Philosophie mit Genuss
„Die Catech’eria bietet Philosophie mit Genuss, d.h. sieben Abende mit tiefsinnigen Streifzügen durch die großen Fragen des Lebens. Philosophisch zubereitet, naturwissenschaftlich flankiert, genussvoll präsentiert mit kleinen kulinarischen Verkostungen, die sinnliche Analogien liefern. Als Präsenz-Veranstaltungen oder Zoom-Videokonferenzen für Sinnsucher, Pilger und Feinschmecker des Lebens.
Die zu jedem Thema speziell konzipierten Verkostungen sollen verdeutlichen, was die Gäste an den Abenden gehört und mitgedacht haben. Ziel ist es, Skeptikern und reflektierten Christen eine Brücke zum Glauben zu zeigen. Neue, verständliche, vor allem rationale und naturwissenschaftliche Argumente für eine Beschäftigung mit dem Christentum zu liefern. Oder zur Festigung und Verteidigung eigener Glaubenspositionen im Diskurs mit Nicht- und Andersgläubigen.“

Science and Faith – Aufsätze, Zitate, Links von Prof. Dr. Arnold Neumaier, Fakultät für Mathematik, Universität Wien.
„Science is the truth only in matters that can be objectified; in the spiritual world, where values, goals, authority and purpose are located, science has nothing to say. It is a poor life that is restricted to the scientific standard of truth, where you and I are nothing but a collection of atoms without meaning and purpose. Realizing the narrow-minded nature of science opens the gate to an understanding of God that complements the scientific truth and gives life, love and peace.“
„Hier finden Sie Wissenschaftler aus verschiedensten Fachrichtungen und Konfessionen, die christlich-abendländische Werte und Weltanschauung in ihrer Bedeutung für Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft diskutieren.“

These materials are meant to give a well rounded view of some of the finest resources available.“
„bethinking.org aims to bring together the best possible resources for thinking about and communicating the Christian faith. Its goal is to help to prepare all Christians to provide an answer to those who deny the truth of Christianity. Whether that’s answering the attacks of Richard Dawkins, discussing our faith with a Muslim colleague or chatting about the latest episode of Dr Who with a neighbour, bethinking.org aims to provide you with talks and articles that stimulate you to think about your faith and its relation to the world and culture around us, and then to show how Christianity is not only true, but provides the answers to life’s biggest questions. The technical term for all this is ‘apologetics’. Whether you are a student, at home or at work, we want bethinking.org to help you to talk about your Christian faith in a way that is relevant, attractive, true and culturally aware.“

In Intelligent Design, we consider and debate the ID movement vs. Neo-Darwinism. ID holds that there are features of the universe and life that are best explained by deliberate, intelligent design, and that design in nature is sometimes formally detectable.“

„History, Philosophy, and Christian Apologetics: Specializing in Resurrection-of-Jesus Research. Billions profess to believe in the historical existence, death, and supernatural resurrection of Jesus. This man from Nazareth, a working-class Jew, made an exclusive claim to personal deity. The size of his popular religion and this one audacious claim refuse to be ignored, yet neither one amounts to evidence. Gary Habermas has dedicated his professional life to the examination of the relevant historical, philosophical, and theological issues surrounding the death and resurrection of Jesus. His extensive list of publications and debates provides a thorough account of the current state of the issue. Christian believers as well as unbelievers may find within the contents of this site a strong argument for the philosophical possibility of miracles and the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus, as well as the theological and practical implications of this event.“

„The mission of Reasons To Believe is to show that science and faith are, and always will be, allies, not enemies. Our goal is to bring that life-changing truth to everybody who needs to know, both believers and nonbelievers. It is our conviction that since the same God who „authored“ the universe also inspired the writings of the Bible, a consistent message will come through both channels. In other words, the facts of nature will never contradict the words of the Bible when both are properly interpreted. We want to help seekers of truth to find answers to those questions that bar them from entrusting their lives to Christ. And we want to help Christians find new joy and confidence in worshiping the Creator as they shed their fear of science.“

Our programs and publications offer contexts for leaders to consider together the big ideas that have shaped Western civilization and the faith that has animated its highest achievements.“
„In a recent study, the Barna Research Group revealed a stunning statistic that continues to reverberate throughout the evangelical world. Only 9 percent of professing Christians have a biblical worldview.Because of this, today’s believers live very similarly to non-believers. A personal sense of significance is rarely experienced, we spend our money and time on things that fail to satisfy and we begin to wonder what life’s ultimate purpose really is. We are, in short, losing our bearings as a people and a nation. To counter this slide within the body of Christ, we are launching one of the most ambitious and powerful projects in the history of our ministry—Focus on the Family’s The Truth Project. The Truth Project is a DVD-based small group curriculum comprised of 12 one-hour lessons taught by Dr. Del Tackett. This home study is the starting point for looking at life from a biblical perspective. Each lesson discusses in great detail the relevance and importance of living the Christian worldview in daily life.“
