Biola University | Magic and the Christian Faith (with Joshua Ng) [Think Biblically Podcast] @BiolaUniversity | Uploaded July 2023 | Updated October 2024, 12 hours ago.
Can the miracles of Jesus be explained as magic? Since magic is forbidden in the Bible, can a Christian be a magician? What are some principles we can learn from the practice of magic to help be more discerning in our age of fake news? These are just a few of the questions we explore with our guest, Joshua Ng, a practicing magician, member of the academy of magical arts, and student in the MA Apologetics program at Talbot School of Theology.

In our polarized culture, how do we hold our convictions with conviction, but also with kindness, so that our style doesn’t alienate people who might be open to a conversation about things that matter? In this joint podcast with the Winsome Conviction Project at Biola, Scott and WCP co-director, Dr. Tim Muehlhoff interview Dr. Russell Moore about his journey in this important area. Join Scott and Tim for this insightful interview with Dr. Moore.
Russell Moore is Editor in Chief of Christianity Today and is the author of several books, including Onward: Engaging the Culture Without Losing the Gospel, and the forthcoming book Losing Our Religion: An Altar Call for Evangelical America (Penguin Random House). He was named in 2017 to Politico Magazine’s list of top fifty influence-makers in Washington, and has been profiled by such publications as the New York Times, the Washington Post, TIME Magazine, and the New Yorker.

What is the evidence, outside the Bible, that Jesus existed and was who He said He was? What is the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus? How was Jesus unique among other religious founders? And how do we know that the gospels are reliable records of first century history? Sean and Scott will answer these questions and many more as we discuss his new book, Evidence for Jesus.

Because we are created in God’s relational image, and the fact that He is in relationship with Himself in the Trinity, it means we are created also to connect and yearn for relationship with one another. Relationships are great opportunities to learn more about yourself, to know and be known by others. But, does being authentic mean sharing everything about yourself with everyone?

What is an evangelical? What does that term describe? Is it a movement that is contrary to the way of Jesus presented in the Bible? Has evangelical faith become too politicized? How should we understand Jesus’ saying that His Kingdom is not of this world? Join Scott and Sean for this important conversation, discussing the book Jesus v. Evangelicals by Constantine Campbell.

The book Jesus and John Wayne has been the topic of immense discussion over the past few months. The subtitle of the book captures the key idea developed by Kristin Kobes Du Mez: How white evangelicals corrupted a faith and fractured a nation. She argues that the election of Trump was not an aberration, but the natural result of certain militant, patriarchal views adopted by evangelicals. Is she right? Is she wrong? In this discussion, Sean and Scott highlight some positives of the book (and areas evangelicals need to take seriously), but they also raise some cautions and areas of disagreement with her key premise.
