Evangelicalism: An Exclusivist Club?

What is the evidence, outside the Bible, that Jesus existed and was who He said He was? What is the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus? How was Jesus unique among other religious founders? And how do we know that the gospels are reliable records of first century history? Sean and Scott will answer these questions and many more as we discuss his new book, Evidence for Jesus.Read a transcript of this episode at: https://www.biola.edu/blogs/think-biblically/2023/the-best-evidence-for-jesus==========Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith and Culture is a podcast from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, which offers degrees both online and on campus in Southern California.

The Best Evidence for Jesus

A weekly podcast that offers Christian perspectives on some of the most significant issues facing today's church and culture. In each episode, hosts Scott Rae and Sean McDowell — professors at Biola University's Talbot School of Theology — draw upon biblical wisdom and insights from guest experts as they explore how Christians can thoughtfully and faithfully engage with cultural trends and current events.

I am a 2011 Talbot grad who is currently taking a break from church ministry and working at a secular job, and am so grateful for this podcast! It helps me stay current on theological trends and topics within both Christianity and worldwide culture. I would not know have known where to get my resources to stay updated with theology and the church today if it is not for this podcast, especially as I am 9 years removed from seminary training. 

Thank you both to Dr. Scott Rae and Dr. Sean McDowell for the great content! I am very grateful for your podcasts! God bless you both!

Great podcast!

Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith & Culture

Sean McDowell

Bart Campolo

Sean recently had a public discussion with Bart Campolo, former evangelist and Christian social worker, who is now a leading secular humanist. They share and contrast their stories and discuss whether Christianity or secular humanism is the best explanation for moral values.  This is a bonus episode that first aired on Unbelievable? at Premier Christian Radio.  For more from Unbelievable?, be sure to check out their podcast, book, and upcoming conference.  Bart Campolo is an American humanist speaker and writer. He is the son of Tony Campolo, and was a pastor before transitioning from Christianity to secular humanism. Campolo is the co-founder of Mission Year and the author of several books including Kingdom Works: True Stories of God and His People in Inner City America and Things We Wish We Had Said, which he co-wrote with his father. His most recent book, Why I Left, Why I Stayed, also co-written with his father, is a reflection on both men's "spiritual odysseys and how they evolved when their paths diverged." He was the first Humanist Chaplain at the University of Southern California. Campolo hosts a podcast called Humanize Me.   Read a transcript of this episode at: https://www.biola.edu/blogs/think-biblically/2018/bonus-podcast-losing-faith-and-keeping-faith-sean-mcdowell-and-bart-campolo==========Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith and Culture is a podcast from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, which offers degrees both online and on campus in Southern California.

Dealing with Anxiety and Depression (with J.P. Moreland)

Markus Zehnder

Immigration remains one of the most divisive and debated social and political issues of our day. Understanding the Bible's teaching on immigration and applying it to current immigration issues is complicated terrain. Dr. Markus Zehnder, Talbot Professor of Old Testament, brings a wealth of research on the bible and immigration, as well as his experience of immigration issues from living most of his life in Europe, to bear on this complex and emotionally-charged issue.  Dr. Markus Zehnder grew up in Switzerland and is an ordained minister of the Reformed Church of Switzerland. After the completion of his doctorate, he moved to Jerusalem and then to Boston for postdoctoral studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and at Harvard University. He has held teaching positions in Switzerland, Germany, Norway, and Belgium. He has a passion to connect the Bible both with personal and societal issues.

Last Call for Liberty?? (with Os Guinness)

Christian faith and science are often viewed as being in conflict in Western culture today. It’s important to understand that science is practiced within a worldview—a specific way of viewing the world, especially what counts for knowledge. Increasingly, people believe that the only things that count for real knowledge are those that can be scientifically verified. Scott and Sean interview Talbot philosopher JP Moreland about his new book, Scientism and Secularism: Learning to Respond to a Dangerous Ideology. Dr. Moreland will connect faith and science in a way consistent with a Christian worldview.  Dr. J.P. Moreland is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at Talbot. He is the author of more than 30 books and over 100 journal articles and book chapters. He speaks widely on apologetics, philosophy and the spiritual life.   Read a transcript of this episode at: https://www.biola.edu/blogs/think-biblically/2018/science-and-faith-in-a-secular-society==========Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith and Culture is a podcast from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, which offers degrees both online and on campus in Southern California.

Science and Faith in a Secular Society (with J.P. Moreland)

Christina Hitchcock

The number of single adults has been growing for the past few decades in the US and today the number of households headed by a single person are more than 50% of all households. Yet in many churches the unwritten norm is “married with children,” and marriage is often seen as a sign of maturity. So where does that leave single adults, especially those who feel that they might be called to singleness? Join us for an insightful conversation with theologian Dr. Christina Hitchcock as she talks about the Kingdom value of singleness in her book, The Significance of Singleness. She has great insight for both single and married adults.  Dr. Christina Hitchcock is Professor of Theology at the University of Sioux Falls in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. She earned her Ph.D. in theology from the University of Aberdeen and is the author of The Significance of Singleness: A Theological Vision for the Future of the Church.   Read a transcript of this episode at: https://www.biola.edu/blogs/think-biblically/2019/significance-of-singleness==========Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith and Culture is a podcast from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, which offers degrees both online and on campus in Southern California.
