Dr. Robert M. Price & Edouard Tahmizian Interview
Watch on Youtube
Join host Edouard Tahmizian for a fifty-minute interview with long-time biblical scholar and Jesus mythicist Robert M. Price on whether the concept of predestination or determinism can be found in the Book of Acts, whether open theism is plausible, and whether some of the more miraculous events depicted in the Qur’an are credible. Tahmizian proposes a number of questions about these topics to Price. For example, given that a word sometimes translated as “predetermined” crops up in a discussion of events to come, did the author of Acts believe that God causally determined/necessitated Jesus’ murder, or that those who brought about his death had the freedom to have done other than what they did do? What do open theists think about the possibility that God doesn’t know the future exactly, but just knows about what might happen? Is the open theist position on this question biblically plausible? Tahmizian also asks Price about the origin of the story of Muhammad splitting the Moon in the Qu’ran, whether or not there was a historical Muhammad, and how and when the texts of the Qu’ran came to be put together. Tune in for a wide-ranging discussion about these and other intriguing issues with a noted biblical scholar!
