Welcome. McDade. Here's your host, Dr. Jack Logan. Welcome to the Ancient Tradition podcast. I'm your host, Jack Logan. It's great to have you back

and welcome to all of our new listeners. Before I jump into today's episode, I want to let our

listeners know about our website. This podcast has a

companion website, the ancient tradition.com, where you can learn more about the evidence that I'll

present in today's episode. If you go to the ancient tradition.com, click on evidence, and then

in the drop-down menu, you'll see a page that's dedicated to today's episode, where you can find

pictures and links, the ancient

accounts, and full citations for everything discussed in this episode.

Today's episode is exorcising the ghosts of John Locke, David Hume, and Emmanuel Kant.

I love the title. I adopted it from a book written by a fellow by the name of John Rossner.

You can find that on the website as well. We'll get into why it's critical that the ghosts of

these gentlemen be exercised in a podcast that's dedicated to reconstructing the religious tradition

that was imparted to human beings in the beginning. So the best way to jump into this is to begin by telling you a little

bit more about my background. I'm coming at this from a hybrid background. In terms of my

formal education, I have a master's and a PhD in the social sciences, and I teach it one of the best universities in the

United States. And I've been teaching in higher education for a couple of decades. So I've been

thoroughly trained in the scientific method, the language of academia. But at the same time,

I grew up in a home full of faith and love for God. And I can't even remember.
