In this episode of the Bible and Theology Matters podcast, Dr. Paul Weaver is joined by Dr. Kyle Beshears to explore the origins, history, and authority claims of Mormonism—also known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

• The origin and translation of the Book of Mormon
• The role of angelic visitations like Moroni

In this episode of the Bible and Theology Matters Podcast, Dr. Cory M. Marsh joins Dr. Paul Weaver to discuss his book Recovering a Vintage Faith: Five Fundamentals of Evangelical Identity. Together, they tackle the confusion surrounding modern evangelicalism and call believers back to a historic, biblical foundation.

Dr. Marsh explains why evangelicalism should not be defined by politics, race, celebrity culture, or social trends—but by its doctrinal roots and faithful Christian living. He challenges the rise of “celebrity Christianity,” critiques the influence of “Big Eva,” and highlights the importance of local church accountability, biblical authority, and personal discipleship.

🔑 In this conversation, you’ll discover:

• What “vintage faith” and historic evangelicalism really mean
• Why the authority and sufficiency of Scripture must come first
• The dangers of political and cultural definitions of evangelicalism
• How celebrity pastors and conference culture can distort the faith
• The difference between theological, cultural, and political evangelicals
• The five fundamentals of authentic evangelical identity

📖 The Five Fundamentals Discussed:

1. The supremacy and authority of Scripture
2. The centrality of Jesus Christ and the gospel
3. Personal evangelism and missions
4. Participation in theological education
5. Consistent involvement in the local church

This episode is a must-watch for anyone seeking clarity on biblical Christianity and true evangelical identity.

Was Paul once a slave? If so, how did his early life shape his theology, mission, and message? In this compelling episode of the Bible and Theology Matters podcast, Dr. Paul Weaver sits down with Dr. Mark Fairchild to discuss his groundbreaking book, Paul's Enslavement: The Early Life of Saul the Zealot. Together, they explore the provocative thesis that the Apostle Paul may have been a former slave—and how that possibility sheds powerful new light on his language of slavery, freedom, adoption, redemption, and identity in Christ.

Dr. Fairchild draws from the Book of Acts, Paul’s letters (especially Galatians), early church tradition from Jerome, and the historical writings of Josephus to examine:
-Paul’s Roman citizenship and how slaves could receive citizenship through
-manumission -The “Synagogue of the Freedmen” in Acts 6
-The meaning of stigmata in Galatians 6:17
-Honor, shame, and status in the first-century Mediterranean world
-How slavery differed from modern conceptions of 16th–19th century chattel slavery
-Why does Paul use slavery and adoption language more than any other New Testament writer 
-How Saul’s zealotry transformed after his encounter with Christ on the Damascus Road

This conversation also explores Paul’s rabbinic training under Gamaliel, his intense persecution of the early church, and how his radical conversion reshaped his understanding of identity, freedom, and gospel ministry.

If you want deeper insight into:
-The historical Paul: First-century slavery in the Roman world
-The background of Galatians: Paul’s theology of freedom and redemption
-How archaeology and ancient sources illuminate Scripture

…you won’t want to miss this episode. Dr. Fairchild also discusses his extensive research in Turkey (ancient Asia Minor) and his work on Paul’s “unknown years” in Cilicia.

Together, they explore:
✔️ What a worldview is—and why everyone has one
✔️ Why logic is foundational for defending the Christian faith 
✔️ The difference between factual mistakes and logical fallacies 
✔️ Common fallacies like: Ad Hominem Straw Man Appeal to Authority Appeal to Pity Genetic Fallacy Red Herring Self-Referential Incoherence
✔️ How to construct sound deductive and inductive arguments
✔️ Why truth corresponds to reality 
✔️ How Christians can argue graciously, clearly, and persuasively

In a world shaped by expressive individualism, emotional reasoning, and intellectual shortcuts, this conversation equips believers to think critically and biblically. As C.S. Lewis famously emphasized, Christianity is not something we would have invented—it confronts us with reality. Whether you're a pastor, Bible teacher, seminary student, homeschool parent, or simply someone who wants to strengthen your reasoning skills, this episode will sharpen your thinking and deepen your confidence in the Christian worldview.

Is the New Testament historically reliable? Can we trust the Gospels as accurate records of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection? In this powerful episode of the Bible and Theology Matters Podcast, Dr. Paul Weaver continues his in-depth conversation with Dr. Benjamin Shaw, author of Trustworthy: 13 Arguments for the Reliability of the New Testament. In Part 2 of this two-part series, we explore some of the strongest historical, archaeological, and transformational evidence supporting the truth of the New Testament—including hostile sources, archaeological discoveries, and the famous Minimal Facts Argument for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

🔍 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
✅ Why embarrassing details in the Gospels actually support their authenticity
✅ How hostile sources like Tacitus confirm key events of Jesus’ life
✅ What archaeology reveals about Caiaphas, crucifixion, and the early church
✅ Why early Christian transformation matters for historical reliability
✅ What the Minimal Facts Argument is—and why it’s so powerful
✅ How scholars across belief systems agree on core resurrection facts 

 Why the resurrection stands at the center of Christian faith and history Dr. Shaw also explains how archaeology, early enemy attestation, and transformed lives all point to the same conclusion: the New Testament is historically trustworthy—and Jesus is who He claimed to be.
