I recently gave the Swindel Lecture in Philosophy of Religion at Talbot School of Theology. While I was there I was asked to give some advice to young Christian philosophers. I thought it would be good to take a break from the providence series and g... more

I understand where people are coming from when they take issue with his sarcasm and what-not, but I don’t think it detracts from the material too much. He’s real with frustrations I’m sure he has to put up with constantly. If it gets a little grating or heavy-handed just shrug it off and keep listening for the gold! Not every episode is sarcastic anyway.
The different perspectives, insights, and questions I pull away from this podcast are super interesting. I feel challenged and find myself ask... more
It might have potentially been interesting but I couldn’t listen past the commentary that came across arrogant and condescending.
Unfortunately, the host denies: Nicaea, limited atonement, classical theism (simplicity, timelessness, immutability, impossibility), creeds/confessions.
He comes across as smug, superior, and more enlightened than Christians of the past (and present).
I have real admiration for Dr Mullins work. His lastest book is a real gem. Yet, his dry humor and intellect at times present as arrogance. I suppose it's entertaining, but not always soul building.
I'm not totally sure why that is relevant because to me it sounds like all conjecture opinions and we don't know stuff. I do believe our tea has done some good explaining these things and makes more sense with his style of talking and explaining these things. I just don't really see where this is really pertinent because I don't know what it does for people What it does for the typical person out there maybe it's just a moneymaker thing idea with books or scholars theologians and what not.
