About Me
- Douglas Groothuis, Ph.D.
- Nothing on this blog represents the position of Denver Seminary. I am a Christian, philosopher, teacher, writer, and preacher, who is Professor of Philosophy at Denver Seminary. My most recent of my twelve books is Philosophy in Seven Sentences. My magnum opus is Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith (InterVarsity Press, 2011). I have published ten others, including Truth Decay and On Jesus. I direct the Christian Apologetics and Ethics MA program at Denver Seminary.

Dr. Groothuis:
Thank you so much for having anti-TV "fire in your bones." This was one of life's most valuable lessons that I have learned, and I learned it from you. It's one of those things that we often don't think about until someone like yourself speaks out against it.
TV is a poison. Since you inspired me to reject TV (for the most part anyway) I have found much more valuable ways to spend my time.
Just yesterday I was urging friends to not allow their TV to serve as a babysitter. They were thankful for the message, and in agreement.
I'd turn my TV off in a second!
...if I had one!

Susan: Buy a TV, get addicted to it (like most Americans), then withdraw from it for TV Turn-Off week (unlike most Americans). Just kidding.
Some souls are already cured of the disease. I am reviewing a book called (this is true) "Get More Like Jesus While Watching TV" by Pollard and Couch. Amazingly, the book is not a parody. I can think of a sequel, "Get More Like Jesus While Building the Tower of Babel" or "Get More Like Jesus While Sacrificing Your Children in the Fire." You get the idea...
