Great interview. I'd like to hear your attempt at "G'day" on your next podcast!
This is a fantastic interview. Being familiar with Dr. Gary Habermas' work, I thought there was a stark contrast here with Dr. John Dickson. Dickson's minimal facts represented the mainstream and scholarly consensus. Likewise, I enjoyed Dickson's criticism of Apologetics programs. I agree that Christians should go study philosophy and theology instead of apologetics in a seminary setting.
