Is the Bible True? (W/ Dr. Matthew Ramage) [Ep.92]

1 hour 18 minutes

Many of us have probably Googled "Violence Of the Old Testament" or asked a friend about such a topic. We anticipate a clear answer; however, at the root of the question is an even more profound and super rational question: How could a good God allow violence in the Bible, the Book of Life?

Alongside these questions, we dive into the question(s): Is the Bible reliable? Wait, the "book of life"? But what to do with the slavery, death, murder, adultery, human sacrifice, and annihilation sprinkled throughout such a text? This conversation seeks to explore some of these questions and give avenues by which to engage them.

Along with these topics, we discuss The mythology of the Bible, the difference between the Quran and the Bible, and, weirdly enough, Lynyrd Skynyrd!

This week, Dr. Matthew Ramage joins Logos to dive into this very topic. We welcome him and hope you enjoy his insights as much as we did! Above all, we hope you became more sensitive to the goodness, truth, and beauty of Christ in His utterance through the Church's intellectual tradition.
