W. MARK LANIER | A Lawyer Puts Religions on Trial (Ep. 517)

In this episode, we welcome W. Mark Lanier to the show. He is an attorney, author, teacher, and pastor. He founded the Lanier Law Firm and is a recipient of the American Association of Justice’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Additionally, he was named as one of the U.S. News and World Report’s Best Lawyers in America for nine consecutive years and was inducted into the National Trial Lawyers’ Hall of Fame. He used his legal prowess to delve into the world of religion to write a trilogy of books to help people understand why Christianity stands above all of the other worldviews: Christianity on Trial, Atheism on Trial, and Religions on Trial. In this interview, we discuss why he was drawn to the world of law, how being a Christian did not hinder his ability to be a good attorney, why he decided to put different religions “on trial” in his books, how Hinduism is the most postmodern of all the major religions, how Buddhism’s core tenet of avoiding suffering is not livable or realistic, his personal friendship with the late, great Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, why it’s important to distinguish between “extremist” Islam and “fundamentalist” Islam, how it's even possible that Mormonism is still in existence, and much more.
