Today we dove into a section of John 10 (with a few interruptions for commentary on the weather outside my unit) and then looked at some elements of Aquinas’ commentary on the same text. Then we read an article that contained hagiography concerning Thomas and considered the kind of thinking that lies behind such perspectives.

Two Contrasting Views of Islam, and Then a Little on CRISPR (Jumbo Edition)
James White, , Christian Worldview, General Apologetics, Islam, The Dividing Line
Spent the first 70 minutes or so contrasting two videos on Islam, one from Talk Islam decrying the violence in Paris, the other the newest ISIS promo video which I call “ISIS Hollywood.” Lots of discussion of sources, interpretation, etc., especially in light of the ridiculous accusation that honestly recognizing differences amongst Muslims makes you “soft” on Islam.

Calls, Calls, and More Calls
James White, , The Dividing Line
We let the callers drive the program today, and that often takes us over a wide spectrum of topics. We discussed George Bryson and Calvary Chapel; Ergun Caner (one of his students called); 1 John 2:2 and ἱλασμός (via a Skype call!); the Apocrypha and online apologetics to Roman Catholics, and more!

Started off with a ten minute clip from the Johannesburg debate from almost two weeks ago, and then opened the phones, with calls on the priesthood in the early church, Leighton Flowers’ on the will of God, and other topics. Here is the YouTube link:
