by Doubts Aloud Podcast
The Doubts Aloud Podcast!<br /><br />Join us as we allow doubts to be voiced regarding faith, religion and worldviews. Two of us have been Christians and none of us believe, so our current conclusion is that the doubts regarding Christianity are justified, but we are keen to question ourselves and hear Christian arguments and hear from Christian guests. Our background means that our conversation with Christianity will tend to dominate over other faiths. <br /> <br />We are Frances Janusz, Andrew Whyte and Ed Atkinson. We value the use of reason and evidence to assess matters of faith and worldview. (Should we doubt those assumptions?). We will consider philosophy, theology, Biblical Studies, human experience from the thinking layman’s viewpoint. We greatly value respect for those we disagree with and engaging in discussion.

Show Notes<br />We return to our “Doubts Aloud Book Club” with a second episode on Tom Holland’s book ‘Dominion’ which has caused quite a stir in Christian apologetics circles over the last few years. We cover some of the critical responses, including ours. But most importantly we sought out responses from historians. Tom makes a bold and interesting set of claims that we list, and then we assess them with a wider philosophical view to go with the historical story that Dominion presents.<br /> <br />Links:<br />The book Dominion:<br />https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dominion-Making-Western-Tom-Holland/dp/0349141207<br /> <br />Book reviews we found:<br />Jenkins - in Christianity Today<br />https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2020/january-web-only/tom-holland-dominion-christian-revolution.html<br /> <br />De Groot – in The Times<br />https://www.thetimes.com/world/europe/article/dominion-by-tom-holland-review-7pc255qs7<br /> <br />Jonathan Sumption – in The Spectator<br />https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/did-christianity-make-the-western-mind-or-was-it-the-other-way-round/<br /> <br />The Unbelievable episodes with Tom that we discuss:<br />With AC Grayling:<br />https://youtu.be/7eSyz3BaVK8?si=TOdafNjHf22AJuov<br />And with Andrew Ollerton:<br />https://youtu.be/f2_W6eCijV4?si=QBEuJnA1N-xyxS7t<br /> <br />The Jennifer Glance book on slavery in early Christianity<br />https://www.amazon.co.uk/Slavery-Early-Christianity-Jennifer-Glancy/dp/0800637895<br /> <br />Rowan Williams book, Passions of the Soul<br />https://www.amazon.co.uk/Passions-Soul-Rowan-Williams/dp/1399415689<br />Doubts Aloud Links:<br />Please give feedback and ask questions using: [email protected]<br /> <br />Join the Facebook Group discussions:<br />https://www.facebook.com/groups/1023280847835278/<br /> <br />Meet us all in person again at the monthly “Unbelievable Christian and Skeptic Discussion Group” in central London, see:<br />https://www.meetup.com/Unbelievable-Christian-and-Skeptic-Discussion-Group-London<br />

<b>Show Notes</b><br />Friends of the show John Nelson and Josh Parikh return as guests together. They introduce Josh’s new term to the world: McGrewvianism, which is the apologetic approach of partners Tim & Lydia McGrew. They are scholars in their own fields but do not use the methods of modern NT scholarship when arguing for the historical reliability of the gospels. Potentially this can be seen as fresh air, but Josh & John dig deeper.<br /> <br />This will be the first episode of a 2 part set. Josh & John cover such topics as McGrewvianism treatment of modern NT scholarship and their key ‘undesigned coincidences’ argument.<br /><b> </b><br /><b>Links:</b><br />We discussed ‘undesigned coincidences’ with Jonathan McLatchie in our episode 29.<br /> <br />John’s blog, which has a post on undesigned coincidences, is:<br />https://www.behindthegospels.com/<br /> <br /><b>The McGrews</b><br />https://lydiamcgrew.com/<br />Tim doesn’t seem to have a home page for his work, search for him on Amazon, or here:<br />https://wmich.edu/philosophy/directory/mcgrew<br /> <br /> <br /><b>Doubts Aloud Links:</b><br />Please give feedback and ask questions using: [email protected]

<b>Show NotesTom Holland’s book ‘Dominion’ has caused quite a stir in Christian apologetics circles over the last few years and we’ve been reading it. We also attended a church leader’s evening where he was the speaker. So we thought we would start a “Doubts Aloud Book Club” with Dominion the first book covered.We introduce Tom, his current faith position and the book, we discuss his style and how much we enjoyed the read. </b><br /><b></b><br /><b>We present the key messages that Tom seeks to make and talk about whether it’s a book useful for apologetics. Finally, we read some extracts that had struck us and discussed them.A later episode on the book will cover more on the critical responses, including ours. He makes a bold and interesting set of claims that we can both learn from and see where we, and historians, may disagree.
