In his book Arguing Religion, Bishop Barron suggests that today we need more religious argument, not less. We need more smart and charitable discussions between people who disagree about God. We need more people who put forward their best arguments and engage their opponents. It's the surest way to discover truth. The twentieth century saw prominent Christians doing just that. Believers such as G.K. Chesterton and Fr. Frederick Copleston shared vigorous exchanges with skeptics such as George Bernard Shaw and Bertrand Russell. Millions of people watched them on stage or listened on radio, as the best representatives of each side made their best case. We continue that tradition today as Bishop Barron, one of the world's leading Catholic evangelists, joins Alex O'Connor, one of the world's leading skeptics, for a profound, two-hour dialogue about God, faith, evil, and suffering. Alex was raised Catholic, praying his Rosary every day. Yet as he admits during this discussion, he left the faith because no one ever gave him intellectual reasons to believe in God. If you've ever wondered how Christians can effectively engage their atheist friends and loved ones, watch this powerful discussion. Watch the brand-new interview right here: |
