The Cordial Catholic

324: A Lawyer Takes the Protestant Bible to Court – Becomes Catholic! (w/ Matthew Mark McWhorter, Esq.)


Listen Later

n this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Matthew Mark McWhorter, a high-powered, high-profile corporate lawyer who turned his skills in the courtroom towards the Bible and Christianity.

After a life-changing experience made him consider Christianity, McWhorter set out to research the evidence for belief in Jesus. He encountered the Bible and quickly realized that not all Christians believed in the same canon of Scripture – so which one is right.

In this episode, we dive deeply into this exact topic and unpack why McWhorter thinks that a Protestant reliance on the *wrong* books of the Bible actually undermines their complete case for Christianity – and why Protestants should seriously rethink their "smaller" Bibles.

For more from Matthew McWhorter including his wonderful book Canon Crossfire please visit his website.
