Dr. Stokes sets the stage for how to be a good skeptical atheist by invoking David Hume. Hume is the philosopher that many atheists/new atheists trace back to questioning the existence of God.
However, Hume doesn’t appear to take his skepticism far enough and atheists of today don’t see the implications of what Hume has taken on.
In this book Dr. Stokes challenges everyone to be a sober skeptic. He points out the views that atheists claim to hold are either inconsistent or don’t go far enough. He challenges atheists to think more about what they are claiming and if they want to be skeptical – keep going.
It is not only a book for atheists but a book for Christians as they look at the other side’s worldview and see where the inconsistencies lie – especially when it’s wrapped up in the shield of “SCIENCE” and “REASON”. We are challenged to be sober skeptics as well and to think through what it really means to hold the claims we do.
Today we announce what our second book is. To get a copy and help support the show check out the link here – https://amzn.to/2DVJmw6
The conclusion covers a brief overview of the superiority of the Christian worldview over the naturalistic one. The Christian worldview is the only consistent one that allows for the justification of science, logic, and morality. Even the unbeliever must assume the Christian worldview too.
We are excited to welcome author and pastor Scott Christensen to the show as our first interview.
Scott has written a great book on the subject of human free will called “What About Free Will? Reconciling Our Choices With God’s Sovereignty”

For this episode, Patrick and Tony go over just one question as it’s a practical way of doing apologetics as a whole.
Many people have not heard of presuppositional apologetics when it comes to defending or presenting the Christian faith. However, it is quickly becoming a more popular and helpful approach as we present the world with the truth of the Gospel.
We feel like it was important to take the time to go into more detail to this approach and why we find it so compelling.

Dr. Lisle’s book covers 420 different alleged Bible contradictions in a nice referenced guide book. The series will go over the way Dr. Lisle approaches different types of objections and expand upon certain ones throughout the book.
Two Christians who enjoy reading and discussing philosophy do the heavy lifting. Each episode is a discussion on a book or article on philosophy, theology, or similar subject. They discuss and break down the subject material and present it in each episode. You may have wanted to read or had some interest but were intimated by the material. Join Patrick and Tony in their book discussion breaking it down sometimes chapter by chapter.
