Thanks for joining me at Cold Case Christianity.

I'm Jay Warner Wallace.

This week we're going to talk about how you might respond to criticism or objections to Christianity.

If you've just kind of wandered through and served through and discovered this show,

then you might, by the first time, really be thinking seriously about how you might respond to those who don't believe what you believe.

And I think our culture is changing in the sense that, and you hear it described all

the time, new atheists, you'll hear the new atheism. What does that really mean? Well, it's not new in the

sense that it's offering any new objections or any new forms of objections. There's not as though

there's anything new under the sun that hasn't been leveled against Christianity in the last 2,000 years.

As a matter of fact, if you were to read the church fathers in the first 400 years defending the Christian worldview,

you'll see there, for the most part, defending many of the same things that people are talking about today, or making a defense for today.

So not much has changed all this time, but what has changed

is clearly the attitude that we're seeing from those who object to what we believe. And I think

we're seeing a much more caustic, aggressive, cynical, biting kind of resistance to what it is

we believe as Christians. And I think I saw it kind of peak, or begin at least in earnest,

after the Twin Tower attacks in New York and 9-11 in 2001.
