Hello there. This is Mark Bowerline with another conversation. Before we get to it, a word about one of our sponsors.

Located in the foothills of Wyoming's spectacular wind river range, Wyoming Catholic College,

an accredited four-year Great Books

Institution is built on the ancient Western tradition of the liberal arts and the freedom

of the American West. The college offers its students an immersion in the primary sources

of the classical tradition, the grandeur of the mountain wilderness, and the spiritual heritage

of the Catholic Church. Students experience the illumination of imagination and intellect through the great books and the spiritual heritage of the Catholic Church. Students experience the

illumination of imagination and intellect through the great books and traditional disciplines,

literature and philosophy, mathematics and theology, science and Latin, and an outdoor program

second to none. The college celebrated an in-person graduation with its seniors last year and

welcomed its largest freshman class ever this

year. Learn more about the college's unique space in the world of American higher education at

Wyoming Catholic.edu. We have with us today Eric Metaxus. He is, of course, well known to our

readers and listeners, radio host and commentator.

Actually, one of the most prominent public intellectuals.

I'm not sure I really like that term much anymore,

but that we have today.

His many writings include the books Martin Luther,

a biography I read a while back, another great read,

Fish Out of Water, a search for the meaning of life.

And now is atheism dead?

That is our topic today.
