Introduction (4 of 5): The Moral Argument

Show Notes:
Today as we prepare to begin our journey into Bible Difficulties and Answers, we discuss the third of three philosophical arguments for the existence of God. In this episode we discuss the Moral Argument. Why do we agree certain things are right and wrong? Where does this standard of good and evil arise? And what does CS Lewis, author of the Chronicles of Narnia, say about Moral Law? References to items discussed on this podcast may found at the following:
