Ryan M. Hurd joins the podcast to argue for the following thesis: God has zero wrath. How does this make sense when the Bible speaks clearly about God's anger? Why say that God is truly love and yet not truly wrathful? In this episode, we dive into those questions and more.

Ep. #247 - Does God get angry? w/ Ryan M. Hurd

The Classical Theism Podcast aims to defend Catholic Christian ideas in conversation. With the help of various guests, I defend three pillars of the Catholic Christian worldview: (1) the God of classical theism exists, (2) Jesus is our Messiah and Lord, and (3) He founded the Catholic Church. We place a strong emphasis on the first pillar, defending classical theism, drawing upon the work of Thomistic philosopher Dr. Edward Feser and many others.

What is salvation? What is justification? Where should we start in explaining the Catholic viewpoint on these topics to others? How does the Catholic view of justification differ from other major Protestant conceptions? Can Catholics coherently interpret Romans 4? Should we think of justification as a legal declaration? Dr. Michael Dauphinais joins us to discuss these topics. Join our community: https://www.classicaltheism.com/support

Ep. #263 - The Catholic View of Salvation w/ Dr. Michael Dauphinais

Why bother to make technical distinctions in how we speak about God? How does St. Thomas Aquinas categorize the ways of speaking about God? Is it true that according to Aquinas, God is only Lord and Creator in our minds and not in reality? How should we understand the notion that in God there are no real relations to creatures? Ryan M. Hurd joins the show to sort through these topics. Join our community: https://www.classicaltheism.com/support

Ep. #262 - Divine Names; Is God Really Creator and Lord? w/ Ryan M. Hurd

Who was Christopher Dawson? What made him such an important Catholic intellectual in the 20th century? What was the main focus of his work? How is his work relevant for those doing apologetics?

Ep. #261 - The Important Catholic Intellectual You've Never Heard Of w/ Dr. Joseph Stuart

Is atheism a simpler theory than theism? What are the strongest arguments for God's existence? Is apologetics a hopeless enterprise because motivated reasoning and confirmation bias are inherently involved? Where does the Incarnation and Trinity fit into our apologetics project? How can we answer the problem of divine hiddenness?  Fr. Thomas Joseph White O.P. joins the show again to examine these topics.   Join our community: https://www.classicaltheism.com/support

Ep. #260 - Natural Theology & the Reasonableness of Faith w/ Fr. Thomas Joseph White O.P.

Many critics say the Old Testament is unreliable because it contains (i) empirical claims that have been scientifically falsified, (ii) historical claims that are entirely unsubstantiated, (iii) and moral claims that are eminently repugnant. To the contrary, Dr. John Bergsma holds that the Old Testament is highly reliable and defensible as God's inspired Word. He joins us to tackle these topics. We also take questions from a live audience. If you want to ask a question during the next Live Q & A, consider joining our community here.
