Recovering From Religion

RfRx - Scholarship or Apologetics? How to Tell the Difference, featuring John Gleason


Listen Later

Have you ever wanted to learn more about historical events and figures that are mentioned in religious texts but keep running across content that merely defends the belief system instead of critically examining evidence for any of the claims? This week on RfRx, John Gleason, aka Godless Engineer, will explain some of the differences between historical scholarship and apologetics. We’ll talk about the methods and goals used by scholars of history, how some apologetics masquerade as scholarship while failing to adhere to basic historical methods, and how to tell the difference. And John will go over some recent examples of New Testament scholarship (and not scholarship) to look out for. Bring your questions for John and stay for the hangout after the show.
