Augustine, Apologetics, and the Church
Josh chatraw
Josh Chatraw joins the podcast to discuss two recent books: The Augustine Way and Surprised by Doubt. Josh talks about how questions from church members led him towards apologetics as a pastor and explains why the pastor theologian Augustine of Hippo provides a helpful model for reframing and pursuing the apologetic task today. Listen now to hear a discussion about such questions as: How does narrative and story help frame apologetics? Why is a robust theological anthropology important for the apologetic task? What do Charles Taylor, Peter Berger, Augustine, and Herman Bavinck have in common? How can an Augustinian apologetic help people navigate deconstruction?
Josh Chatraw serves as the Billy Graham Chair for Evangelism and Cultural Apologetics at Beeson Divinity School and is an inaugural fellow for the Tim Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics. He has authored and co-authored numerous books, including Telling a Better Story (Zondervan, 2020) and Apologetics at the Cross with Mark D. Allen (Zondervan Academic, 2018).
