Apologetics315 Podcast - Clear Thinking with Dr. Kenneth Samples

 


In this episode of the Apologetics 315 podcast, hosts Brian Auten and I welcome Professor Ken Samples to discuss his new book, Clear Thinking in a Messy World.  The conversation explores the intersection of logic, critical thinking, and the Christian worldview, emphasizing the importance of discernment and understanding cognitive biases.

Ken, Brian and I delve into the significance of Jesus as a logician and thinker, the role of science and philosophy in achieving objectivity, and the necessity of careful thinking in today's information-saturated environment.  We also explore the significance of logic and critical thinking, emphasizing their role as tools for clearer thinking and better work across various fields.

Finally, we discuss the importance of understanding logical fallacies while maintaining a charitable approach in discussions.  The conversation also highlights the necessity of character development in education, the value of revisiting great books, and the idea of the church functioning as a school for intellectual growth.  Practical steps for fostering a more intellectually engaging church environment are shared, along with insights on mastering topics through worldview thinking and utilizing resources effectively for learning.
