In this episode, we welcome Benjamin Laird to the show. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Aberdeen and is an Associate Professor of biblical studies at the John W. Rawlings School of Divinity at Liberty University. He has written several books about the New Testament to include The Pauline Corpus in Early Christianity, 40 Questions about the Apostle Paul, Five Views on the New Testament Canon, and his latest book Creating the Canon: Composition, Controversy, and the Authority of the New Testament. In this interview, we discuss why he is so interested in the New Testament writings, how the NT writers would have gone about the process of composing their writings, why people don’t need to be concerned that we don’t have the “original autographs” of the NT writings, the controversy surrounding the Council of Nicea and works of Marcion as it pertains to the creation of the Canon, how the NT writings were spread throughout the ancient world, how confident we can be that our English translations match the meanings of the writings in their original languages, and much more.

He founded the Lanier Law Firm and is a recipient of the American Association of Justice’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Additionally, he was named as one of the U.S. News and World Report’s Best Lawyers in America for nine consecutive years and was inducted into the National Trial Lawyers’ Hall of Fame.

In this interview, we discuss why he was drawn to the world of law, how being a Christian did not hinder his ability to be a good attorney, why he decided to put different religions “on trial” in his books, how Hinduism is the most postmodern of all the major religions, how Buddhism’s core tenet of avoiding suffering is not livable or realistic, his personal friendship with the late, great Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, why it’s important to distinguish between “extremist” Islam and “fundamentalist” Islam, how it's even possible that Mormonism is still in existence, and much more.
