#2: What the Bible Says About “Thinking Christianly”

In this episode, we’re making a Biblical case for the role of reason in Christianity. We discuss:

• How Scripture makes a clear case for the role of reason in our spiritual lives
• The way evidential reasoning is present in Scripture
• How to avoid confusing total knowledge with genuine knowledge
• The difference between the use and abuse of reason
• Why we can trust that God doesn’t use a different kind of logic than ours
• Overcoming objections to the reasonable study of scripture
• The harmony in Paul’s writings on reason and argumentation
• How we participate in the renewal of our mind
