C.S. Lewis writes in his intro to his world-famous book, Mere Christianity, I hope no reader will suppose that ‘mere’ Christianity is here put forward as an alternative to the creeds of the existing communions—as if a man could adopt it in preference to...

I Got Translated into German!
An article I wrote for Logos Talk got translated into German by Evangelium21. May the Lord use my tiny little drop in the Internet ocean for his glory.
What Happens in Greenville…
This post is not for all readers, just for those who have attended Christian universities in Greenville, South Carolina. Of which there are two. And kind of three. And there are seminaries there. All of which helps make my point. Soapbox 1 Greenville, South Carolina,...
Dr Mark Ward Jr on Sermon Audio
It took me 35 years and a terminal degree, but a sermon of mine finally made it onto SermonAudio.com. In God's providence, I simply have not had much opportunity to preach to adult Christians (I've preached several hundred evangelistic messages). It was a genuine...
Did Jephthah Sacrifice His Daughter—Yes or No?
A post of mine at the Logos Talk Blog regarding Jephthah has generated a great deal of interesting discussion from readers. I'm getting a little cross-section of evangelical hermeneutics in action. I urge my personal blog readers to go and take the vote in the middle...

Update: I have a massively revised version of this set of tips here. I am all the time seeing YouTube lectures I want to listen to—that's right, listen to, not watch. I just can't watch a YouTube lecture. I'm distracted by all the other things I need to do on my...
Mark Ward on the Concordance Tool on Faithlife Today
Read the article I wrote (referenced in the video) here.
Biblical Worldview: Creation, Fall, Redemption
I finally got my copy. It's the culmination of my nine years at BJU Press and the one book of mine most likely to actually get read: Biblical Worldview: Creation, Fall, Redemption, a 12th grade Bible textbook for Christian and home schools. But I can't say the book is...
Dear Mom(s),
Dear Mom, and Dear Mother-in-Law, Thank you for continuing to check my blog for new posts. Maybe some day you will be rewarded, and maybe some day my readership will expand beyond you two, giving me greater motivation to write. I have begun writing already at my new...
Wards Moving to Washington State
The Ward family is moving to Washington state so I can work for Logos Bible Software (now called the Faithlife Corporation) as a writer and theological/exegetical instructor—and so we can help our church's supported church-planting missionaries, Tom and Naomi Parr in...
