Worldview is one of the most excitable concepts among Christians today, but what does it really mean to have a Christian worldview? Why is worldview important? How is it related to apologetics? In this installment of Rooted in Revelation, Dr. James Anderson answers these questions and gives us his thoughts on what area of presuppositionalism could use the most development.

Dr. James Anderson is an ordained minister in the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church. Dr. Anderson came to RTS from Edinburgh, Scotland, and specializes in philosophical theology, religious epistemology, and Christian apologetics. His doctoral thesis at the University of Edinburgh explored the paradoxical nature of certain Christian doctrines and the implications for the rationality of Christian faith. His research and writing has also focused on the presuppositional apologetics of Cornelius Van Til, particularly his advocacy of the transcendental argument. Dr. Anderson has a long-standing concern to bring the Reformed theological tradition into greater dialogue with contemporary analytic philosophy. Before studying philosophy, Dr. Anderson also earned a PhD in Computer Simulation from the University of Edinburgh. He is a member of the Society of Christian Philosophers, the British Society for the Philosophy of Religion, and the Evangelical Philosophical Society. Prior to joining RTS Charlotte, Dr. Anderson served as an assistant pastor at the historic Charlotte Chapel in Edinburgh where he engaged in regular preaching, teaching, and pastoral ministry. He is married to Catriona and they have three children. Dr Anderson’s Blog: https://www.proginosko.com.

Roman Catholicism is something that many of us Christians are familiar with; however, the inner-workings of it are needlessly complex and largely unknown to most protestant Christians. What do your Roman Catholic friends believe, and how can you best share biblical truth with them? Tune in to this installment of Rooted in Revelation as our good friend, apologist Tony Costa, sheds some light on these questions.

Have you ever thought about how you know the things you know? It can be a maddening topic if you don't have a strong foundation in truth as it can leave you doubting everything you've ever understood to be true. Our special guest, Chris Bolt, masterfully addresses this behemoth of a topic and will leave you encouraged in the worldview and foundation God gives us in the Bible. Tying into that, we also discuss why we should skillfully handle the Scriptures, and how to do it.

When you hear someone talk about Scientology I bet you immediately think of some crazy actors and actresses who belong to the religion. I also bet you don't know what they believe, as it seems to be much more veiled than other religions; however, in this episode, we pull back the curtain and talk about what it is they believe.
