Dr. Sean McDowell is a famous biblical scholar and Christian Apologist. He is the son of legendary Christian apologist Josh McDowell but Sean stands out on his own as a world’s expert in the area of the historicity of the “12” Apostles of Jesus.  Sean was kind enough to come on my Podcast and share some of his insights with the audience.

Enjoy 😊

In this special treat, I (Dale the Christian) and my non-Christian university professor, Paul Bali, join Andrew and Matt as guests on the Ask an Atheist Anything Podcast. We discuss issues pertaining to the freedom of expression, the relationship between science and philosophy and how religious knowledge can impart wisdom for people seeking truth. It was a great show, enjoy 🙂

In this show, we tackle the question when it is that an Atheist bears the burden of proof when dialoguing with a Christian. Specific discussion on the burden of proof revolves around my use of Bayes Theorem, prior probabilities, the shifting of the burden of proof and my beloved Molinistic Defeater- all this and more is tackled by the Atheists in this episode.

Dr. Gary Habermas was not only one of own personal mentors during the time I was dealing with my own doubts, but he has come to be a personal friend of mine.  My Atheist co-host David calls Gary- "the Dean of Doubt", and I'd have to agree with that assessment as he helps various people deal with their doubts all the time and has even categorized three different types of doubts; i) Intellectual Doubts, ii) Emotional Doubts and, iii) Volitional Doubts.

Dr. Craig Keener, a highly respected New Testament scholar known for his meticulous and comprehensive research details his research on the historicity of the biblical book of Acts. His commentary on Acts, takes an in-depth look at the socio-cultural historical context and is quite simply (in my view) the most well documented and researched Acts commentary ever written.  His magisterial commentary utilizes an unparalleled range of ancient sources and offers a wealth of fresh insights and he shares some of those insights with us.

Dr. Lydia McGrew provides a different approach to reading the Gospels (and the Bible as a whole) in terms of assessing their reliability. She believes that Mike Licona's "composition/literary devices" approach is based on his misreading Plutarch and that it’s therefore inaccurate to draw the conclusions he’s drawn using that source. Further, she thinks that any differences in the gospels can be reconciled through commonsense harmonization efforts.

Dr. Michael (Mike) Licona discusses his views on the Gospels and how his research on their reliability; he argues that the majority of New Testament scholars now hold that most if not all of the Gospels belong to the genre of Greco-Roman biography and by comparing the Gospels to the works of Plutarch, he discovers that this genre permitted some flexibility in the manner that historical events were narrated via the use of various “compositional devices”.
