Nick Shalna interviews Dr. Michael Licona, author of Jesus, Contradicted, on the ideas of inspiration, inerrancy, and the reasons for differences among New Testament Gospels. How does the way that the gospels present the same story differently reflect the writing standards of the 1st century? What kinds of things did 1st Century authors do that may surprise us? If there is a surface contradiction or error in the Bible, does it disqualify its reliability and trustworthiness?

Nick responds to a throwback video of Matt Dilahaunty taking a phone call from a Christian on "The Atheist Experience". Does the reality of God's foreknowledge necessitate the idea that He causes all of our actions? Is God responsible for all who go to hell because He created it? How should believers carry a conversation about the faith, and how SOULDN'T they?
