Making the Case for Christianity, with Dan Ermutlu
<p>The truth of Christianity is perhaps best supported by the cumulative case approach, which combines multiple lines of evidence to make a strong case that the Christian worldview offers the best explanation for the way things are. My guest in this episode, Dan Ermutlu, teaches a six-week apologetics course at his church, where he lays out much of this cumulative-case evidence. In this extended-length episode, Dan walks us through the structure of his course and explains some of the powerful arguments for the existence of God and the truth of Christianity. Can you cram a six-week apologetics course into one podcast episode? Not even close! ...But we certainly tried!</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>===============</p><p><strong>Resources:</strong></p><p>===============</p><p>Dan Ermutlu & Apologetics 517</p><ul><li>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@apologetics5178" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Apologetics517</a></li><li>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090440019953" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Apologetics517</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p>Books:</p><ul><li><a href="https://a.co/d/h5M2PRL" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith by Douglas Groothuis</a></li><li><a href="https://a.co/d/7N4qfYI" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">On Guard: Defending Your Faith with Reason and Precision by William Lane Craig</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p>---</p><p><strong>Connect with Encountering Truth:</strong></p><p>Website:<a href="https://encounteringtruth.org/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> EncounteringTruth.org</a></p><p>Facebook:<a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550039724755" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> Encountering TRUTH</a></p><p>YouTube:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@EncounteringTruth" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> @EncounteringTruth</a></p><p>Rumble: <a href="https://rumble.com/c/c-5476517" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Encountering Truth</a></p><p>Platforms: <a href="https://bit.ly/encounteringtruthpodcast" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">bit.ly/encounteringtruthpodcast</a></p>
