Methodist seminarian Joshua Pearsall invited me onto his @PracticalChristianLessons YouTube channel to discuss evidence for early high Christology from archaeology and in the Epistle of James (audio re-hosted here by permission).

View my original paper on "The Epistle of St. James vs. Evolutionary Christology" Theofilos (Volume 8, 2016:1).

For the updated revision of the paper, see my book Behold the Man: Essays on the Historical Jesus (Wipf and Stock, 2024).

With permission, I'm re-hosing this episode of the Persuasive Evangelism Podcast from March 25th 2026:

Research indicates that many people will first consider whether Christianity is something good, before they consider whether or not it is true. But for both these questions, the discipline of philosophy informs how we think about them. Can a stuffy old academic discipline really help much with modern spiritual questions? Steve Osmond and Simon Wenham learn more about what philosophy and apologetics brings to evangelism.

While there's some overlap between this and my five part podcast/video series on Truth, Goodness, and Beauty (see http://podcast.peterswilliams.com/?s=Introducing%20Truth%2C%20Goodness%2C%20and%20Beauty & https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQhh3qcwVEWgKmNMPUP-dv2HF6rFsfx0p), there's also some new material here, defending the objectivity of these transcendentals against arguments to the contrary. I've added this to the podcast series tag listed above as a supplemental "appendix"!

In this second of two episodes on the project, Lars and his guests discuss the behind-the-scenes production process.
