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.

It is clear, the one on the left is Rick, but who is the one on the right?
Wild guess -- could it be James K. A. Smith?
I think I'm going to teach my next Bible Study on the Porpoise Driven life. I'll use all those points and perhaps a few more. Porpoises swim with the current and against the current. They aren't bound to just going with the flow. Just like in our Christian life, sometimes others will be with us supporting us and sometimes we will be against the whole world.
Porpoises have teeth and can use them quite effectively. This reminds us that Christians may not always be kind or gentle to us. They may in fact bite. However, we should not bite back, but act with love and kindness.
