Why Make Bible-teaching Computer Games?
When I was an undergrad, our Christian Union had a thing called a Doctrinal Basis: eleven core truths that we shared with one another – essentially a way of clarifying what we meant by the word “Christian”, so that we could get on with doing the “Union” bit. Sadly, however, despite this we were greatly distracted by a disagreement between two groups within the CU. On the surface, the dispute revolved around the third article of the D.B.: “The Bible, as originally given, is the inspired and infallible Word of God.
