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.

As did I many months ago and I don't miss the buffoonery.
For some reason, I feel the need to "like" this post. ;) Enjoy your time away.
I noticed. Miss your thoughtful comments and links showing up on my newsfeed. But, I understand completely as I have considered such myself.
I did so too and I don't miss it. More time for important books, conversations, and activities.
Dr. Groothius, you need to do what is best for you and your family. But I would be less than honest if I did not say that some people will be just a bit baffled. Why, just yesterday (literally) you were posting away on facebook with many "friends" chiming in - and then suddenly the plug is pulled.
As a mere two-dimensional friend I know you have a love/hate relationship with technology and social media. I just trust you are running some of these decisions by your real, three-dimensional family and friends. As you know already, there is wisdom in godly counsel.
On the other hand, it is another reminder of how ephemeral so much of "life on the net" really is. We need Jesus to show up in all we do to affect permanent change and truly build his kingdom.
Thank you and God bless. - Ray
Pennoyer:
I discussed leaving on Facebook before I did so. I may be back in time. This is, for now, an abstention, not necessarily a last exit.
Sorry to see you go Dr. Doug, but I certainly understand your reasons for leaving. I've considered the idea before also.
I'm back, after about a five day abstention.
