Religion News Blog is currently a victim of it’s own success.

The blog is a branch of what I think is the best apologetics site on the internet.

Both are run by Anton Hein who lives in the Netherlands. Anton is on a medical disability, but there is nothing wrong with his mind, his tech skills, his dedication and his immense kindness and wisdom. He has taken his physical limitations and turned his time into something that has benefited thousands.

The apologetics index and the blog rely on donations from readers. I don’t know that we always stop to think what labours of love cost. We use good resources without thinking of where they come from. I spent a year going through the index, and it was encylopedic. It was like taking a graduate course and I came away with renewed knowledge of world religions, cults, heresy, culture and historical christian truths.

The blog is currently being revamped because it’s outgrown the script it has run on. If you are feeling merry this Christmas season, I’ve no doubt hitting the paypal button will ease some of the stress for Anton. Being a victim of success is a two edged sword at the best of times.:^)

    An “apologetics” website that defines Catholicism as a cult? And uses a wildly inaccurate definition of the Church written by John Ankerberg, of all people? I wouldn’t call it “the best apologetics site on the Internet.”

    Not scholarly, not careful in its fact-gathering, not hardly.

    What apologetics site would you recommend Therese?

    That’s a good question, to find one that covers all the Christian denominations, as well as Orthodox and Roman Catholicism.

    For RC, I’d recommend Catholic Answers, http://www.catholic.com. It’s very readable. Also the New Advent Encyclopedia, http://www.newadvent.com. It’s pretty dry but golly it’s complete.

    Now you have me thinking about who’s got the best complete one. I just know that the one who leaves RC to Ankerberg isn’t the one…..
