In this episode, my guest Dr. Douglas Groothuis takes us on a deep dive into the world of Christian apologetics. Doug is a longtime professor of philosophy and apologetics and has written extensively about both. Together, we explore the compellingly rational case for Christianity, examining several key arguments for the existence of God, including the cosmological argument and even the philosophically complex ontological argument. We discuss the intellectually robust nature of these arguments and how they hold up to some of the common objections. Doug also helps us understand the definition and importance of apologetics and how it relates to the Christian worldview.
