About this episode

Brad Stine and Greg Koukl discuss the current state and future directions of Christian apologetics.

Greg Koukl holds two master's degrees: one in Philosophy of Religion and Ethics from Talbot School of Theology and another in Christian Apologetics from Simon Greenleaf School of Law. He is known for his engaging approach to apologetics and has authored several influential books, including "Tactics: A Game Plan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions" and "The Story of Reality". In 1993, he founded “Stand to Reason”, an organization that aims to help Christians think critically about their faith and engage in meaningful conversations about their beliefs. The organization provides various resources, including a weekly radio program, podcasts, articles, and videos, to train individuals in effective apologetics. Greg emphasizes the importance of using thoughtful dialogue and the "Columbo tactic," which involves asking questions to guide discussions rather than making assertions. Tonight, he and Brad discuss the current state of Christian apologetics and the directions it should be heading in for the future.
