What is the relationship between faith and proof? Shane Rosenthal discusses this question with Dr. Mike Farley of Covenant Theological Seminary. How did the Israelites come to believe that Moses really spoke with God, and how did his writings become so authoritative among the ancient Hebrews? Was it just a leap of faith? That’s the focus of this edition of The Humble Skeptic podcast.

SHOW NOTES• If you would like to read further on this topic, start with Shane’s article “Why Should We Believe the Bible?” For a more in-depth treatment, we recommend Proof of the Gospel by Eusebius of Caesarea.

• Reference was made on this episode to an interview Shane conducted with Daniel Boyarin, author of The Jewish Gospels. You can listen to that conversation here.
