Shrinking the Spiral to Find Authorial Intent

Greg answers a question about the “hermeneutical spiral” and getting an objective meaning from the text, then he chats with a caller who doesn’t believe in God about his objection to Greg’s definition of atheism and why he is currently deconstructing.   Topics:

2. Can we have a conversation about what atheism is? (22:00)
