Ep. #156 – Defending Trinitarian Classical Theism w/ Dr. Craig Carter

Summary

Why and how did you change your mind regarding Trinitarian classical theism? What are some common mistakes you see being made in contemporary theology? How can metaphysics and Scriptural exegesis work together? What does it mean to say we can know God without comprehending him? Why is Isaiah an important book of Scripture for understanding the nature of God? Can the traditional authorship of Isaiah still be defended? Dr. Craig A. Carter joins us to discuss these topics and more as we consider his book Contemplating God with the Great Tradition.
