I’ve started listening to the Resonable Doubts podcast, and so far I must say I enjoy it. The audio quality is great, and the 3 guys that put in on are very creative. I have also found it very cool that they are from Grand Rapids (where I lived for 4 years) and they mention the Christian Reformed Church (church I grew up in), Calvin College (went there), and Dutch heritage (I’m mostly Dutch) all of which strike close to home.
A couple things to keep in mind is that it is a podcast, so you can’t hold them to the same rigor as a published book. Podcasts have more freedom and spontaneity, so arguments are not always fully developed, straw men are sometimes presented, and mistakes can happen. But its a podcast. It’s supposed to be entertaining and informative, both of which they do an excellent job. Some of the podcasts are very one sided and come off as a podcast of angry atheists, but these have been few (as far as I have listened to). I have liked when they have had on the show someone of the faith, where both sides are presented. I also enjoy the more scholarly segments: “God thinks like you” and “Skeptics Sunday School”. The three fellas that put the podcast on are all professors, so they bring a scholarly eire to the program. But seldom does the podcast get too think in theological discussions. The three amigos keep it entertaining and have kept me tuning in to their podcast.
I’ll check them out. Thanks!
Thanks for the recommendation!
