On this program, Shane talks with trial attorney Craig Parton about evidential reasoning, which is an outlook that seeks to impartially examine the facts of any particular controversy to find the best explanation of those facts. The two apply this type of reasoning to the facts uncovered on the last episode about the location of The Executive Room piano bar, as well as to the field of Christian apologetics as a whole. Craig Parton is the author of Religion on Trial, The Defense Never Rests, and more recently, The Art of Christian Advocacy.
