Christians Must Divorce from Trump | #27 Dr. Randal Rauser
Many have watched with alarm as American evangelicals - a particular sect of Protestant Christianity - have largely embraced President Donald Trump, despite the (seeming) inconsistency between his rhetoric on the one hand, and biblical principles on the other. Dr. Randal Rauser joins me for a third time to discuss the connections between evangelicalism, President Donald Trump, and the Republican party in general - contending, ultimately, that Christians must embrace a different vision of Christianity, one that cannot connect itself with President Trump.

Did God Command Genocide in the Old Testament? No? Yes? Maybe?
In this episode, I discuss the problem of violent orders given to ancient hebrews by their God in the old testament (or jewish bible). I give my reasons for finding such passages inconsistent with the nature of the Christian God (as understood by me) and I consider multiple ways of dealing with these passages. A jewish view by Rabbi Tovia Singer, a traditional christian view by Clay Jones and Alissa Childers and a progressive christian view by Randal Rauser and Peter Enns are all considered in this episode.

CC071: The Conditional Premiss of the Moral Argument - Peoples, Rauser, Hannestad, Moore
This discussion features two theists, Glenn Peoples and Randal Rauser, and two atheists, Lance Hannestad and Graham Seth Moore, discussing the conditional premise of the moral argument. All participants affirm the view that moral facts exist and are real, the disagreement is found over the grounding of these moral facts (natural vs supernatural). The theists contend that God is required to ground moral facts, while the atheists contend the opposite: a satisfactory account of moral ontology can be given purely from a naturalistic perspective.

Randal Rauser: Conversations With My Inner Atheist
My guest this week is Randal Rauser. Randal is, in his own words, “a systematic and analytic theologian of evangelical persuasion.” He is a professor of systematic theology, apologetics, and worldview at Taylor Seminary. Randal has written a number of books on apologetics and atheism. I first became aware of Randal’s work around 2017 when I read “Is The Atheist My Neighbor.” At least in the circles, I am a part of, Randal is considered to be a fair and honest apologist and is widely regarded for “steel-manning” atheist arguments before giving his arguments against them. This week we discuss his new book...

John Marriott: A Recipe For Disaster
My guest this week is John Marriott. We are talking about deconversion from the Christian perspective. John is the Director of Global Learning and teaches in the department of Philosophy of Religion and Ethics at Biola University. John did his PhD dissertation focused on deconversion from Christianity to atheism. He has written a book on deconversion called “A Recipe For Disaster,” which is directed to the Church on the ways they are setting up believers to lose their faith. I define [faith] as having enough reasons for a hope worth acting on. I think there enough reasons for me to ac...

006: How to Dialogue With Non-Believers (w/ Dr. Randal Rauser)
In this episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast I talk with Dr. Randal Rauser, evangelical theologian and apologist about how to dialogue with non-believers.Do we approach atheists differently than agnostics? What about the "nones" and the "dones" – those non-believers who either used to believe or have never been exposed to religion at all. Dr. Rauser is easily one of the most poignant and thoughtful apologists working on this topic and his insights in this episode are invaluable.
