Send us a text In Season 10 , we're tackling the most basic question of them all: Does God exist? While there may not be a single, knock-down argument for the existence of God, the cumulative case is very strong. Over the course of this season, we will consider 8 or 9 arguments that, when you put them together, make an utterly compelling case for God’s existence — and specifically for the existence of the God of the Bible.

Send us a text In Episode 6, we discuss Jehovah's Witnesses. A relatively modern movement established in the 1870s, and developing out of the 'Bible Student movement' founded by Charles Taze Russell. Today, there are 8-9 million members, who are often seen distributing literature outside train stations or around university campuses. In this episode, we consider a brief history of the movement and examine what JWs really believe....

We’ll contrast the two founders, by examining the evidence for Muhammad and the evidence for Jesus. Then we’ll contrast the way secular academics have handled the origin of each religion. And finally, we’ll contrast the manuscripts of the Quran and the Bible. After considering these contrast we go on to make five specific criticisms of Islamic thought. It's our prayer that each of the co...

Send us a text In Episode 3 we discuss Taoism. It’s often said that there are three religions in China – Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. But that statement isn’t referring to 3 different groups. As we’ve seen in the previous episodes, the religions of the East interconnect and merge and contradict each other all the time. So it’s said that for morals, the Chinese look to Confucianism; for spiritual experiences and mysticism, they look to Taoism. And for after-death needs they look to Buddhis...

Send us a text In this season we have been talking about the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. For the past 250 years the Gospels have been a battleground. Critical scholars have done their best to portray the Gospels as fictions invented by the early Church to serve political purposes. In this episode we discussed alleged contradictions in the Gospels. We work our way through a number of examples, and seek to show that the Gospel accounts are coherent and, therefore, can be trusted...

Send us a text We’ve called this season ‘Battleground’ because the four Gospels – Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John – have been attacked in recent centuries by critical scholars who argue that the Gospels don’t contain an accurate record of what Jesus said and did. In this episode we will be thinking particularly about what Jesus said. Do the Gospels record Jesus actual words accurately, or do the words attributed to him really come from the Gospel writers themselves?...

Send us a text We’ve called this episode ‘The Quest for the Historical Jesus.’ The basic idea is that critical scholars try to dig a great ugly ditch between what they term ' the authentic Jesus ', the Jesus of history, and ' the Christ of faith '. According to these critical scholars, the Gospels are the product of the early church. For mainly political reasons, the early church invented the Christ that we know. And so the job of the scholar is to sift through the Gospels, like an archaeologist...

Send us a text In the first two episodes of Season 8, we consider the historical context of the Gospels. We'll think about the blank page in our Bibles that separates the last book of the Old Testament from the first book of the New Testament. There's a 400-year gap between the end of Malachi and the Gospels. It's sometimes called the intertestamental period. This historical context really matters. Many young Christians can believe that Bible history exists in a parallel universe from the rest o...

Send us a text This season we're going to be thinking about the gospel records, Matthew , Mark , Luke and John . Those four books take us to the heart of Christianity. And, for a long time, they've been a battleground. Critics of Christianity have launched wave after wave of attacks on the historicity and the theological coherence of the Gospels. We're going to examine many of the arguments advanced by biblical critics against the trustworthiness of the Gospels. It's vital that believers have co...

Send us a text Back in 2007, the term “the New Atheists” was applied to men like Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins. They were fairly brutal enemies of Christianity. They saw it as a poisonous thing, a belief system that had blighted humanity for a thousand years. And they were determined to destroy Christianity. So Hitchens wrote God is not great. Dawkins wrote the God Delusion. But in the past decade, something new has happened. The New Atheists are now dismissed by most public intellect...
