Ep 48Is miracle healing for real? Ken Fish vs Frances Janusz + 2 healing stories.

<p>Christians as well as sceptics are often dubious of miracle healing claims. Ken Fish trained under John Wimber and now travels the world with Kingdom Fire Ministries to heal and train people.

Frances Janusz is an atheist who is sceptical of healing claims and concerned about the ethics of certain types of Christian healing ministries. She interacts with Ken on his stories of healing and we hear from two women, Victoria Bixby and Carol Grigg, who both say they were healed of serious conditions through Ken's ministry, with medical documentation to confirm it.

Why are there differences in the Gospels? Mike Licona & Richard Burridge

<p>Differences between the same stories, words and timelines in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John have been noted since the early days of the Church. Critics claim the differences put the historical reliability of the Gospels into question. </p> <p>New Testament scholar Mike Licona's new research in his book "Why are there differences in the Gospels? What we can learn from ancient biography" aims to show why many of the differences can be explained by the literary conventions of the day adopted by historians such as Plutarch.</p> <p>Mike's work builds on the scholarship of Revd Professor Richard Burridge, Dean of Kings College London whose seminal work "What are the Gospels?" made the case for their genre as Ancient Biography.</p> <p>For Mike Licona and the book: <a href='https://www.risenjesus.com/'>https://www.risenjesus.com/</a></p> <p>For Richard Burridge: <a href='http://www.kcl.ac.uk/artshums/depts/trs/people/staff/academic/burridge/index.aspx'>http://www.kcl.ac.uk/artshums/depts/trs/people/staff/academic/burridge/index.aspx</a></p> <p>Get Unbelievable? the book: <a href='http://www.unbelievablebook.co.uk/'>www.unbelievablebook.co.uk</a> </p> <p>Get Unbelievable? the Conference 2017 DVD/CD & Digital Download: <a href='http://www.premier.org.uk/shop'>http://www.premier.org.uk/shop</a> </p> <p>For more faith debates visit <a href='http://www.premierchristianradio.com/Shows/Saturday/Unbelievable'>http://www.premierchristianradio.com/Shows/Saturday/Unbelievable</a></p> <p>Join the conversation: <a href='https://www.facebook.com/UnbelievableJB'>Facebook</a> and <a href='https://twitter.com/unbelievablejb'>Twitter</a></p> <p>Get the MP3 Podcast of Unbelievable?

An Atheist and a Christian walk into a bar… Justin Schieber and Randal Rauser

<p>Randal Rauser is a Christian theologian and philosopher, Justin Schieber is an atheist philosopher. They’ve written a conversational book together called “An Atheist and a Christian Walk into a bar… Talking about God, The universe and everything” (Prometheus).</p> <p>In this show they discuss one of the themes of the book: religious disagreement. If there is a God shouldn’t we expect to find people across the world to have broadly have the same ideas about him? And since they don’t, is that evidence against God? Justin says yes, Randal says no.</p> <p>For “An atheist and a Christian walk into a bar”: <a href='https://www.amazon.co.uk/Atheist-Christian-Walk-into-Bar/dp/1633882438'>https://www.amazon.co.uk/Atheist-Christian-Walk-into-Bar/dp/1633882438</a> </p> <p>For Randal Rauser: <a href='http://randalrauser.com/'>http://randalrauser.com</a> </p> <p>For Justin Schieber: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQa6mPLOE2yuMCrDjRio_nA'>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQa6mPLOE2yuMCrDjRio_nA</a> </p> <p>Order Unbelievable?
