Jesus, Spirituality & Software

This is a personal site concerned with intellectually responsible and spiritually authentic Christianity, with a particular interest in Atheism, Paganism, and similarly contrasting views. I'm interested in chatting with people who've become Christians from these backgrounds. This is not necessarily a site that will interest all other Christians. As I write on the warning page:

[This site] is specifically not recommended for children, or for those adults who have no interest in thinking about their beliefs, or understanding non-Christian perspectives.

Various parts of the site are outdated and/or incomplete: exercise rationality at all times. This is a place for me to think aloud and collect feedback; the views expressed are not necessarily those of Jesus.

Jesus' Resurrection: A wandering look into some of the important issues. Are miracles possible? What is Jesus' resurrection actually supposed to mean? What do the accounts say? What was the nature of crucifixion in antiquity?
Wiccans and Christians: Some Mutual Challenges: At a deep and sophisticated level, Wicca presents some stimulating challenges for Christians on some key theological and human rights issues.
Read Through the New Testament in a Year: Here's a handy PDF of a reading plan that covers the New Testament in a year, averaging one chapter per weekday, divided up into 12-week quarters. There's an optional outline of the Old Testament for weekends too. Check it off as you go. Enjoy...
Simple Parallel Bible: The Simple Parallel Bible is a search and lookup tool that can be easily added to any PHP/MySQL website. It is a standalone version of an application made for the Jesus.com.au website.
Catalyst -- Australian Christian Web Creatives: Catalyst is an email discussion list for Australian Christian web designers, web developers, and network techs -- for people who work in the industry.
