Welcome to the Council of Trent Podcast, a production of Catholic Answers.

Hey everyone, welcome to another episode of the Council of Trent Podcast.

I'm your host, Catholic Answers Apologist and Speaker Trent Horn.

And today we have a special guest, we have senior apologist Jimmy Aiken.

He's going to talk to us a little bit about his recent debate with Bart Irman.

And they debated the question, are the Gospels unreliable?

And so that's important, the exact prompt of the resolution that we'll get to there.

So before we do that though, just a reminder, please consider supporting us at Trent Horn Podcast dot com.

Also, I have a new course on the existence of God at our school of apologetics.

Go to schoolwithapologetics.com. You can check out my course on the existence of God.

Jimmy has a lot of great courses on there as well. You definitely want to check out.

So Jimmy, welcome back. Thank you, Trent. Nice to be here.

Well, let's talk a little bit about this debate.

When I heard that you were going to be debating Bart Irman, I was stoked because I've read about Bart Irman obviously for a very long time.

He's been writing on Christianity for a while. Why don't you tell our audience a little bit more about who Irman is.

And then I really want to dig down into your debate prep because I mean, I do debates a lot as well.

And when I do prep, well, I'm going to throw it out there then you can just play with all this.

That if I were debating Irman, I'd be excited and nervous.

And I would think to myself, well, I've read a lot of his stuff in the past.

But when I debate someone, I let them live in my head for about a month.

I read their books, watch their videos.

So like I know his stuff, but I would just be going back, lockdown, read his stuff, watch his videos, get him reacquainted in my head.
