I’m joined by David Anzalone from Lucerne. We try to answer as many listener questions as we can. We consider questions about Eleonore Stump’s classical theism. We look at medieval modal philosophy, idealism, open theism, analytic theology, the paradox of omnipotence, and advice for graduate students. This is a jam packed episode.

Over the past few years, people have been complaining to me about the incredibly low standards of reasoning taking place within the online Christian apologetics community. I have ignored this for several years, but I have not been able to look the other way over these past few months. In today’s episode, I want to talk about the problems taking place among pop apologists, and offer advice on how to do better.

This is the final episode with my 2023 summer interns from Palm Beach Atlantic. Today, we ask why isn’t God more obvious? If God really loves us, why does he seem to be hidden? Wouldn’t God make His presence more obvious to all of us? To help us answer these questions, we interviewed Mike Rea from the University of Notre Dame.

The Southern Baptist Convention just had their annual meeting. 4 people pushed to have the Nicene Creed included in the Southern Baptist confession. Is this a movement towards theological clarity, or creedalist authority? Also, why won’t the Southern Baptists clearly state what the doctrine of eternal generation actually says? Don’t worry, I will tell you what the doctrine says.

Christianity Today just put out a new article on the unhealthy obsession that some American Evangelicals have over Thomas Aquinas. As you can imagine, the article has already received quite a bit of hate online. Did Christianity Today jump the shark with this one? In today’s episode, I want to take you through the article, and give you my own thoughts on the matter.
