The second of two podcasts dealing with the Euthyphro Dilemma and how it relates to the Christian view of God. We talk about power, love, the nature of being, and how the unique view of God within Christianity presents a solution to the Dilemma that was perhaps hinted at by Plato in the dialogue. We also say a few things about how this view of God and morality should affect us.

The first of two podcasts that serve as a companion to the blog entries on the moral argument for God's existence. See the first of the blogs here: https://www.tacticalfaith.com/moral-arguments-i-the-euthyphro-dilemma/ What is Plato telling us in his Euthyphro? What is the original Euthyphro Dilemma, and how is it used today? The contemporary form of the Dilemma asks whether something is good because God commands it, or whether God commands it because it is good. Both horns of the Dilemma produce difficulties. What can we learn from the Dilemma? Is there a good response?

Can you teach someone to love God or their neighbor? Joel and Travis discuss Plato's Meno, and the problem of teaching virtue, with some reflections on how this relates to evangelism and discipleship.
