Unbelievable? with Justin Brierley on Premier Christian Radio:

Is the Islamic State Islamic? Jeremiah J Johnston, Craig Evans debate Inayat Bunglawala & Adnan Rashid

Friends, I would like to thank my friend, Justin Brierley, host of Unbelievable?, for doing a phenomenal job moderating our recent radio debate on Premier Christian Radio: Is the Islamic State Islamic? Justin is a talent … and regularly provides intellectually stimulating and spiritually challenging programming. I encourage you to subscribe to his podcast or listen to his show on Premier Christian radio if you live in the United Kingdom. Craig Evans and I continue to receive media interview requests so I would ask you to please remember us in prayer as we share about our new book Jesus and the Jihadis. 

I would also ask you to continue to pray for our Unanswered book tour. Great news! Unanswered is back in stock on Amazon.com (it sold out on the first day)! Please help us spread the word for the book. More good news … recently, I recorded the audiobook for Unanswered and the audiobook is now available for download! Many of you have been texting, tweeting and emailing us asking for the audiobook … so help yourself! More random thoughts … we had a phenomenal experience at Society of Biblical Literature 2015 in Atlanta, Georgia. I presented a paper on the Testimony of the Spirit in Biblical Narrative at the Society of Christian Philosophers for a forthcoming book with Oxford University Press on the Holy Spirit. Our new book Searching the Scriptures was on display at the Bloomsbury book table in the exhibits hall (the book only took me four years!) so it was rewarding to finally see it available. Don’t forget … you can purchase Unanswered at your local Lifeway store. Lee Strobel wrote the foreword for Unanswered and I wanted to share that with you in this email.

Please continue to pray for us … for safety and specifically like Paul prayed, “And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message” (Col. 4.3).
