Podcast Description:
As part of the Center for Global Apologetics (of the Liberty Theological Seminary), Ergun Caner, President of Liberty Theological Seminary and Graduate School, debates representatives of various cults in an informal interview-style format. In front of a live audience, Caner invited leaders of such groups of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons, Baha’I and other, to speak directly to evangelicals. Instead of lecturing about world religions, this series was designed to speak to them, and to engage various systems with the truth claims of the Gospel. This is an entirely unique approach, and one that has generated more interest than we expected. As a result, these debates are now available online for you.

This is a truly gracious and non-confontational series of interviews with other religious groups. It is not a debate regarding which religion is better, but a unique opportunity to listen to others explain their own religions in a comfortable setting.

Thank you for posting this item. I am sympathetic to the need to approach the new religions in different ways beyond confrontational apologetic models. Your readers might be interested in our book that explores a cross-cultural missions approach to new religions in Irving Hexham, Stephen Rost & John W. Morehead II (eds), Encountering New Religious Movements: A Holistic Approach (Kregel Academic & Professional, 2004), as well as my blog that explores these issues, Morehead’s Musings at http://johnwmorehead.blogspot.com. In fact, I have engaged recently in a series of posts that explores interreligious dialogue with new religions with special application to evangelical-Mormon dialogue in conjunction with the National Student Dialogue Conference in Salt Lake City in October sponsored by Standing Together and Salt Lake Theological Seminary, and for a course I will be teaching on this topic at Salt Lake Theological Seminary as well. I hope that this approach you are discussing here likewise moves us beyond apologetic refutation of heresy to interreligious dialogue for understanding and missional engagement.
