Ep. #202 - The Historical Reliability of John's Gospel w/ Dr. Lydia McGrew

Is John's Gospel really historically reliable? What positive evidence supports the reliability of John's Gospel? How should we think about issues in John's Gospel such as (i) the timing of the temple cleansing, (ii) the explicit indications of Christ's divinity, and (iii) the date of the crucifixion? Dr. Lydia McGrew joins the podcast to discuss these topics and her book The Eye of the Beholder. The Classical Theism Podcast aims to defend Catholic Christian ideas in conversation. With the help of various guests, I defend three pillars of the Catholic Christian worldview: (1) the God of classical theism exists, (2) Jesus is our Messiah and Lord, and (3) He founded the Catholic Church. We place a strong emphasis on the first pillar, defending classical theism, drawing upon the work of Thomistic philosopher Dr. Edward Feser and many others.   John DeRosa www.classicaltheism.com/support   Support the show: Check out my book One Less God Than You: How to Answer the Slogans, Cliches, and Fallacies that Atheists Use to Challenge Your Faith >> www.classicaltheism.com/newbook   Support on Patreon to help keep the podcast going and to allow me to produce even more quality content: www.classicaltheism.com/support
