Challenge as a publication has been down for several years as one can see from the main page of the Challenge website.  We apologize for this, but due to my illnesses for the last eight years I had little choice in this matter.  However, we are back to take up the fight where we left off.  While I have been debating, again, for a year or so, I haven't been able to get the publication back up.  While it will no longer, primarily, be a paper publication we will begin with an electronic publication each quarter.  As we have in the past we will use this publication to carry on the fight with error.  While we will deal with atheism/skepticism and evolution vs. creation for the most part, we will also deal with other issues.

One of the things that we will continue to do in this publication, is to give equal space to our opponents.  As long as people treat each other with respect (which includes no cursing, name calling, or using foul language), they will be able to write for this publication.  All Biblical passages (used by proponents of the integrity of the Bible) will be taken from either the King James Version, The American Standard of 1901 or the New King James Version.  I am sure that skeptics/atheists will want to use other versions, but those on our side will be restricted to those versions that I have listed.  My personal belief is that the King James Version is the most accurate version that we have.  The American Standard of 1901 comes in second with the New King James coming third.  Any other version will have to be preapproved, and there must be a specific reason for using it.

We hope to be able to keep Challenge up and running from this time forward.  Since we don't have the expense of a paper version (the price of publishing and mailing) it should be much easier than it previously was.  I still haven't got all the back issues on the website as of yet, but I will just as soon as I can get them.  It may take some time.  However, we begin with Volume 8 because the last issue printed was in Volume 7.  We hope to be with you for a long time to come.  All are invited to respond to anything that you feel is necessary.  The only other restriction will be space.  All articles need to be limited to no more than 8,000 words per article unless you are quoting an article in yours from another source.

Thank you, and we look forward to working with you again.

In Christ Jesus
