Decades ago, the primary concern skeptics had with Christianity was if it was true. Today, things are vastly different, including skeptics’ concerns with Christianity. Now the question is, is Christianity good? Dr. Ken Samples took note of the shift, and from this observation came his book Christianity Cross-Examined: Is it Rational, Relevant, and Good? (link below). For part two of this two-part episode, Dr. Samples joins the show to talk about:

  • Why are many Christians so unlike Christ? (1:10)
  • Didn’t God condone genocide? (7:35)
  • Can Christianity make sense of longing and suffering? (13:45)
  • Additional resources (23:15)
