Liar, Lunatic, or Lord?
C.S. Lewis famously wrote that we cannot accept Jesus as merely a great moral teacher without accepting His claim to be God - that Jesus is either a liar, a lunatic, or the one true Lord. In this episode, we take a look at this popular trilemma that Lewis puts forth in his book Mere Christianity. Then we examine the legitimacy of a possible fourth option, that the Jesus we know today is merely the result of embellishment - a legend.

William Lane Craig and James White on Divine Simplicity
Once again, Dr. William Lane Craig, along with Dr. James White, has mischaracterized Aquinas' view of divine simplicity, its importance, and its implications. This matters because divine simplicity, properly understood, is one of the most important doctrines of God from which the other divine attributes properly follow and are understood. SES professor Dr. Brian Huffling will discuss his recent blog post graciously responding to our brothers' continued misunderstanding and mischaracterizations.

Examining William Lane Craig's Views on the Nature of God
Dr. William Lane Craig is perhaps the most popular Christian apologist and philosopher today, and of course he is a dear brother in Christ. Ironically, however, he rejects some of the most foundational aspects about the nature of God upon which classical theism rests. We will specifically be looking at the simplicity of God and God's knowledge of the future. What, if any, are the implications of thinking wrongly about these issues? In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Brian Huffling, Director of the SES Ph.D. program, to analyze Dr. Craig's views on the nature of God.

AMA-4. Dr. Michael Shermer — The Problem of Evil
In this Ask Me Anything, Dr. Shermer performs a postmortem on his debate/dialogue on with Dr. Brian Huffling at the Southern Evangelical Seminary in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Saturday February 23, 2019. The specific topic was: “Is the Reality of Evil Good Evidence Against the Christian God?” Watch the video of the debate. This is an exercise in the difference in thinking between a Christian philosopher/theologian/apologist and a secular scientist/humanist/atheist. Dr. Huffling focused on purely philosophical arguments about the nature of God, evil, omniscience, omnipotence, and moral perfection, whereas Dr. Shermer concentrated on specific exam...
