In this episode of the Logos Institute Podcast, we (Dani Ross & Jason Stigall) interview Professor C. Stephen Evans (University Professor of Philosophy and Humanities at Baylor; Professorial Fellow at the Logos Institute) about his extensive work on divine command theory and moral obligations. This is only part 1 of the interview, so we have much more to come. If you're interested in looking ahead, here are a few time stamps to help:

0:45 - How did you become interested in moral obligations and divine command theory (DCT)?

3:19 - How is your account of divine command theory different from theological volunteerism and other traditional renderings of DCT?

5:55 - What is the divine discretion thesis?

10:10 - Why is it misleading to describe all DCT’s as a type of theological voluntarism?

15:43 - What are moral obligations and where do they fit in your account of DCT?

23:42 - How moral obligations are grounded on your account?

26:15 - What it means for Gods commands to be directed at the good

31:42 - Do moral obligations come in varying degrees?

34:41 - `how much do humans have to be aware of these obligations/standing to God in order to be subject to them?

36:20 - What are the different types of obligations? Are all obligations moral obligations?
