Dr. Robert Bowman Jr., a scholar and co-author of 'The Incarnate Christ and His Critics,' dives deep into the theological debate about Jesus' divinity. He tackles misconceptions regarding Jesus' identity in scripture, emphasizing the significance of his 'I am' statements. The conversation also critiques modern interpretations of John 1:1 and examines the complex relationship between Jesus and the Father. Bowman engages with various scholarly perspectives, making a compelling case for early Christians' recognition of Jesus as Yahweh.

Wes Huff, a scholar specializing in early Christian studies, and Mike Winger, an apologetics teacher, dive into the contentious claims of public figure Billy Carson. They dissect their recent debate with him, highlighting its chaotic fallout and the absurdity of legal threats. The discussion addresses the importance of transparency in historical texts like Codex Sinaiticus, while humorously critiquing the misuse of deepfake evidence. They also touch on the complexities of good and evil, navigating truth amidst conspiracy theories, and the challenges in theological discourse.

Dr. Beau Branson, a contributor to 'One God, Three Persons, Four Views,' dives into the complexities of the Trinity. He sheds light on historical misconceptions and heresies surrounding this doctrine. The discussion explores various interpretations of Trinitarianism and examines the roles of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Beau also connects philosophical insights to theological concepts, challenging modern misunderstandings while emphasizing the divine nature of Jesus within the framework of early Christian beliefs.

The scholar James Tabor was recently interviewed and suggested the earliest Christians didn't think Jesus physically resurrected. The grave of Jesus could still have contained the body of Jesus.
