Easter With A Skeptic – Josh McDowell and Sean Taylor

Kevin continues the discussion on the resurrection of Jesus, this time with two guests from opposing positions: Christian apologist Dr. Sean McDowell and atheist Sean Taylor.

Sean McDowell grew up in the home of eminent Christian apologist and author Joshua McDowell.  As a young adult, he began to explore religious questions for himself to come to his own answer.  He is currently a professor at Biola University.  Sean Taylor grew up in a non-religious home, and despite extensive exposure to Christian and Mormon ideas as a young man, never came to believe in any god.  He currently identifies as an atheist but has not done any personal research into the life of Jesus Christ.

Kevin moderates as Taylor states his concerns about the biblical account, and Dr. McDowell answers with historical evidence.  They discuss issues from the variations in gospel accounts to the reliability of Jesus’ reported appearances.  Even if it is established that Jesus was real, is there any way of connecting the historical person to the supernatural claims? As Dr. McDowell shows, the evidence says yes.
