Campus Preacher

Dr Bart Ehrman argues in his book “How Jesus Became God” that the New Testament accounts of the burial of Jesus are internally and externally inconsistent with what the Gospels say, as well as what we know about the Roman Empire. In this episode, I look at Bart’s claims regarding internal incoherence of the Bible’s account of the burial of Jesus.

Dr Bart Ehrman is a popular author and professor from UNC-Chapel Hill. He’s a one time Evangelical turned agnostic and Bible critic. He’s superb with rhetoric and making forceful arguments, but much of that is, despite his contention, based on secular and enlightenment presuppositions. This is part 1 of a 3 part series looking at Bart’s historiography, then I will move on to the burial and resurrection of Jesus.

In his piece “Why I am Not a Christian,” Bertrand Russell suggests he’s not a Christian because of “the curious story” of Jesus and the fig tree, as well as the fact that Russell thinks Jesus predicted his “second coming” in the lifetime of his disciples. Russell doesn’t read the Bible very well, because if he understood the story of the fig, he would see it is related to Jesus “second coming” (Note: It’s not about the second coming!).

This is part two of Eddie Roman’s interview with me at the G3 Conference. Eddie works, largely, behind the scenes at Ray Comfort’s “Living Waters” ministry, which some of you may be familiar with.

This is part 1 of my interview with Eddie Roman. Eddie works with Ray Comfort and has joined me several times on campus, so he was a good person for me to sit down and talk with. We brush on evangelism stories, methods, and a bunch of parts inbetween.

“What must I do to be saved?” “There’s nothing you can do,” “Just accept Jesus,” or “Repent and be Baptized.” Inviting others to Jesus via baptism.

This episode we finish up our look at Bart Ehrman’s “Revelatory Moment About ‘god,'” And we look at David French’s idea that the Church has a politically correct/cancel culture problem.

This episode I discuss getting punched, a discussion with a trans student, and continue with a brief look at Bart Ehrman’s epistemology from his blog post “My Revelatory Moment about ‘god.’

Bart Ehrman recently wrote a blog post title “A Revelatory Moment About God.” Over the next couple of episodes, we will look at his revelatory moment, its implications, and how he is helpful in framing evangelistic and apologetic discussions.

Rush Limbaugh was diagnosed with late state lung cancer, so I speak briefly about how, of all people, he’s one of the people the Lord used to bring me to the Gospel via “The Way Things Ought to Be.” Also, Franklin Graham is cancelled in the UK, so what does that mean?
