In Defense of the Faith

recorded by Jeff Baldwin on Wednesday, June 3, 2009 3:14 am
posted in: Philosophy
After hosts Bill Jack and Jeff Baldwin talk about where they ate for Jeff's anniversary--you read that right--they discuss a letter from a thoughtful listener. This listener wants to apply his Christian faith to philosophy, but he has doubts that he can use philosophy to demonstrate the truth of the Christian worldview. Bill and Jeff take him back to general revelation and discuss the common ground that Christians share with non-Christians. Naturally, Bill also harps on the importance of asking questions.

Presuppositionalism vs. Evidentialism Part Two

If you haven't yet listened to Part One, don't start here! Hosts Jeff and Bill lay the foundation for this discussion in Part One, and then build on it in this show. Is evidentialism good philosophy? Is Worldview Academy fundamentally committed to just one approach to apologetics? And what about Cornelius Van Til? Jeff was less than impressed by his book The Defense of the Faith, and takes time to explain why.

Presuppositionalism vs. Evidentialism

It's time for a weighty question about apologetics. What's the best approach? Josh McDowell came to a saving knowledge of Christ by weighing all the evidence for the trustworthiness of scripture. Does this mean, then, that the best apologetic focuses on the evidence? Or is it better to focus on the faith assumptions undergirding a person's worldview? Hosts Bill Jack and Jeff Baldwin take their time with this complicated topic.

Is Eugenics Dead?

In this edition of Radio Worldview, hosts Jeff Baldwin and Bill Jack respond to two e-mails from listeners. The first asks about a "Great Music" website; the second has questions about bioethics. This leads to a discussion of the voodoo science of eugenics, and the reminder that eugenics isn't dead. Christians will face more and more questions about tinkering with genes in the womb--How will we respond to the doctor that wants to "help" us have a child with a higher IQ? For the most part, Jeff and Bill manage to stay on-topic.

The Green Bible

As our faithful listeners know, hosts Jeff and Bill are always wondering about the question, WWWW? What Would Wheat Want? The answer, they feel certain, is an eco-friendly Bible. But this isn't a joke: publishers have actually produced a "Green Bible" with a forward by Desmond Tutu, as a "green letter" edition. Instead of placing the words of Christ in red, as many Bibles traditionally do, the Green Bible places all verses that deal with God's creation in green. As you can imagine, this causes Bill to rant and rave about environmentalism, with Jeff trying to inject some nuances but largely getting carried away by Bill's rhetoric.
