Summary

Today, the fellows dive back into apologetics. Talking about epistemology, we discuss the necessary link between historical data and theological knowledge. The discussion also leads to a passionate argument against the weaknesses in neo-orthodoxy and the giving up of Christianity's historical high ground. Sit back, relax, grab a drink, and enjoy the show.

Hey there, and welcome to the Thinking Fellows podcast. My name is Caleb, and I'm joined by

0:03.9

Dr. Rod Rosenblot, Scott Keith, and Adam Francisco. You are joining us for an apologetics episode

0:09.4

today. As I've talked about the last several weeks, we are rotating through the various

0:13.7

categories that we've built up over the last two years. For people who are new to the show, the first

0:19.7

0:45.1

topics. I mean, we managed to cover a lot of material in those first two years, especially as far
