Join us LIVE for the last episode of The Alisa Childers Podcast of the year! In this episode, Alisa will answer a claim made by progressive author Brian McLaren in his book, A New Kind of Christianity. McLaren argues that the doctrines of Original Sin, the final judgment of heaven and hell, and what he calls the “biblical story line,” are all products of the Greek and Roman influence on the early Christian culture. He writes, “What we call the biblical story line isn’t the shape of the story of Adam, Abraham, and their Jewish descendants. It’s the shape of the Greek philosophical narrative that Plato taught! That’s the descent into Plato’s cave of illusion and the ascent into philosophical enlightenment.” Alisa will offer some thoughts regarding this question then take your questions live!
