Description


Setting The Stage


We open our 14th book by setting the stage for The Great Debate. We cover the Forward by Eli Ayala and Preface by Joshua Pillows, who give the background for the debate and speakers. Then we dive into Dr. Greg Bahnsen’s opening statement, where he uses most of his time covering what the debate is and what it isn’t. He also covers why he’s going to talk about the Christian form of theism and how the debate can be an objective matter and not a subjective one.
