Three Views Of Reality - Ep.197 - Against All Opposition - Challenges Of Competing Worldviews - Pt.1

If there's one thing we tend to stress on this show it's that definitions matter. If you can define it then you can classify it. If you can classify it then you're better able to know where that fits in the conversation about God, His World, and those who exist in His World. As such, Greg Bahnsen has identified three views of reality that all people have.

We walk through those definitions to not only see where Christians might stand but also where everyone else stands. And from that vantage point, you don't need to know absolutely everything about every worldview but you can more easily find points of discussion and separation from what the Christian worldview describes as what reality actually is.
