Episode 159: Is the Bible Pro-Slavery, Anti-Women & Anti-Gay with Dr. Craig Blomberg - Part 1

Welcome back to the Fall 2020 season of the Brew Theology Podcast.

Ryan's old professor from Denver Seminary, *Dr. Blomberg, joined the Denver community on Zoom a few months ago, and it's a great presentation and conversion about the Bible, evangelicalism and relevant issues at hand! 

People regularly give certain reasons for not believing in God, but they are much less aware of what the New Testament actually teaches. Although challenges to Christianity are perennial and have frequently been addressed, they are noticeably more common today and are currently of particular interest among evangelicals.

Craig is back as he tackles questions from his upcoming book, "Can We Still Believe in God?: Answering Ten Contemporary Challenges to Christianity."

Skeptics of Christianity often ask highly regarded biblical scholar and popular speaker, Craig Blomberg, how he can believe in a faith that seems so problematic. This Distinguished New Testament professor will tackle the question(s), "Isn't the Bible anti-women, anti-gay, and pro-slavery?"
