We are beyond delighted and honored to sit down and interview Andreas Köstenberger. Dr. Köstenberger was a co-author in one of our recent chosen books, "Truth In A Culture Of Doubt" which was a response to many of Bart Ehrman's writings and showing that Christianity provides answers to the critical historians' claims. Dr. Köstenberger is also a prolific author of over 50 books. We talk about his work ethic, his life, and where he sees the direction of Christian scholarship going.

A big issue with those who believe in libertarian free will is when it comes to what God knows and how He knows it. If free will is accurate then how is God able to make true and accurate predictions of future events like the prophecies of the birth, life, and death of Jesus or about the end of the world? Free will doesn't account for divine foreknowledge and it's so important of a topic it's spawned different groups as responses to them.
