Josh Chatraw joins the podcast to discuss two recent books: The Augustine Way and Surprised by Doubt.

Listen now to hear a discussion about such questions as:  How does narrative and story help frame apologetics? Why is a robust theological anthropology important for the apologetic task? What do Charles Taylor, Peter Berger, Augustine, and Herman Bavinck have in common? How can an Augustinian apologetic help people navigate deconstruction?
