{"product_id":"2940158903434","title":"How Would Jesus Blog?: Answering Online Adversaries Jesus' Way","description":"How would Jesus blog? Specifically, how would Jesus interact with atheists, skeptics, and other opponents of Christianity -- the ones who like to go on the attack, and like to stay there? Most Christians think his example is to stay patiently involved in the debate for as long as it takes. Surprisingly, though, the model Jesus sets with his own antagonists should lead us to follow a different -- though still loving -- path.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJesus had his disciples, there were crowds following him, and he had encounters with interested individuals. He had different ways of interacting with each of them. He had his antagonists, too, and he had a different way of communicating with them. A surprising way, if you haven't looked into it before. A way that you and I can learn from, and apply in our online debates. And no, it's not the same with our antagonists, either, as it is with people who have a genuine interest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJesus' way of \"blogging\" can free you up from the endless rounds of debate. It will allow you to maintain a position of appropriate strength. It will help you see how to confront discourtesy, persistent illogic, and worse, and do it without even requiring them to agree with your beliefs or standards.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf enough people practice it, it could upgrade the whole online Christian\/atheist debate scene. Wouldn't you love to be a part of that, too?","brand":"Thomas Gilson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47115897798896,"sku":"2940158903434","price":3.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940158903434_p0.jpg?v=1764179949","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940158903434","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
