Inside the Dan Barker vs. Adam Lloyd Johnson Debate Book

from The Freethinking Podcasts

Can an atheist and a Christian debate God's existence... and become genuine friends? In this conversation, Dr. Adam Lloyd Johnson and Andrew Drinkard join Dr. Tim Stratton and Josh Klein to discuss Debating God's Existence, a unique book born out of Adam's 2022 public debate with atheist Dan Barker. The discussion didn't end on stage—instead, it sparked a collaborative volume featuring leading Christian philosophers and theologians that continues the conversation about God's existence. This is the only book endorsed by both William Lane Craig and Alex O'Connor! A remarkable testament to its thoughtful and charitable approach to one of life's biggest questions.
