He never penned an article for either the Gospel Advocate or Firm Foundation (then the two leading periodicals of the church). It is true that he did some preaching for the church.← Previous edit | Latest revision as of 16:44, 28 April 2024 edit undoHouseBlaster (talk | contribs)Edit filter managers, Administrators57,979 edits remove Category:American writers on atheism per Misplaced Pages:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 March 19#Category:Writers on Atheism (via WP:JWB) | ||

Farrell Till (April 26, 1933 – October 3, 2012) was an American publisher who served as the editor of the formerly published The Skeptical Review and was a prominent debater against Christianity and biblical inerrancy.

Till was a member of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, the National Center for Science Education, and the Council for Secular Humanism.
Till was a part-time minister and missionary for the Church of Christ, but left the church in 1963 and later became an atheist.

He formally and informally debated with numerous Christian thinkers and evangelists, including Christian apologist Norman Geisler and Young Earth creationism advocate Kent Hovind.
