New World Apologetics

Stop arguing. and start enchanting. That’s the topic of today’s podcast. For many years, I’ve written about the need for a new apologetic approach. But the problem hit home as I viewed a “conversation” between Sir Roger Penrose, the world-renowned mathematician and cosmologist and an admitted agnostic, and William Lane Craig, a well-known Evangelical Christian apologist.

As I listened, I felt Dr. Craig cared only for the set-up, meaning he wanted to frame a question to direct Penrose to admit that God existed.

What was Penrose’s response? What do most people in the want who may or may not be searching for meaning desire? How can the message of Christianity speak to emerging generations?

We’ll get into Penrose’s response and more about the state of Christian apologetics and our cultural rhetoric in this episode.
