“The Reasonable Leap into Light: A Barebones Secular Argument for the Gospel”
Thanks to the wonderful efforts of Troy Braegger and others, a transcript of my remarks at August 2015′s FairMormon conference has now appeared online: http://www.fairmormon.org/perspective... I’m sure that worse things must have been posted somewhere on the Web.
