Sneak Peak: What’s Coming
We’ve got some exciting things in the works at IPA. This week we’re beginning development on a brand-new course covering Bayesian Epistemology and Rational Belief Formation alongside one of the leading scholars in the world working in this area. The goal isn’t just to teach Bayes’ Theorem. We want to help you understand how rational belief revision actually works, how evidence affects probability, how cumulative cases are built, and how these principles apply to questions about Christianity, history, miracles, science, and everyday reasoning. We’re also going to be building practical tools alongside the course, including: 📊 A Bayes Calculator 📈 Evidence-weighting tools 🧠 Interactive probability visualizations 🔬 Resources to help you apply Bayesian reasoning to real-world arguments and evidence If you had a chance to learn a topic with us: what topic? And what scholars would you want to hear from?

Just brainstorming, but maybe weekly exercises in spotting case examples of misapplications of Bayes’ Theorem by atheists. Examples include partitions, principle of indifference (like MonkeyBoy), Philosophers of religion like Oppy, maybe even Carrier’s abuse of it for mythicism. Basically like a “detective analysis” of whats wrong with the atheist argument. Like a timed lab almost. I think it would be cool to see people in real-time interact with the arguments. I might be totally off base though if someone has a better idea 😅

Reading Recommendation for Ancient Christian Heresies
On May 30th, I'm doing a presentation on the Christian Apologetics network on ancient heretical Christian groups. Instead of showing merely that these heresies are not biblical, or that the Trinity is orthodox, I've decided to take the approach of showing why these heresies are NOT apostolic. I think one way to advance the case for the Trinity being implicitly taught by the Old Testament/intertestamental communities is to demonstrate the counterfactual connection, that the same "implicit teaching" cannot be likewise said of the ancient Christian heresies. Any reading/research recommendations that would aid the above "counterfactual argument?" My preliminary research shows that refuting Walter Bauer's influential thesis is essential. He basically theorized that heresy arose before orthodoxy in Christian communities, and is arguably the foundation for low Christological theories for modern higher critics (of the likes of Elaine Pagels, Bart Ehrman, etc.). TA Robinson's "The Bauer Thesis Examined" is only available in hard-copy, but I have a pdf of Paul Hartog's "Orthodoxy and Heresy in Early Christian Contexts." I haven't taken looked at "Heresy of Orthodoxy" by Köstenberger and Kruger, since I'm generally skeptical of the findings from (presuppositional) "reformed epistemologists" by the likes of Kruger. I would think the essays provided by Hartog should be enough, but I want to double-check my blind-spots if I'm missing anything essential. Thanks!

🚨 NEW COURSES 🚨
Hey guys, as we slowly build out the program to include MORE high level training, we want to know what YOU guys would be looking for first. I'll add some options we already plan on adding, but feel free to comment any topics you want to be trained on (or even WHO you would like to see teaching as part of the course!)

A business-oriented person like @Inspiring Philosophy or @Tim Howard teaching on how to master the social media algorithm/trends would slap😎 I'd venture to say that even for non-content creators, it would be helpful to understand the tactics and techniques people use to "hook" you into clicking on their stuff.

Posting again since I did an account transfer: Hey guys! Online, I go by the pseudonym "Apollos," and I'm currently situated in Houston, Texas! My interest in Christian Apologetics goes way back to freshman year of High School (2015), where I would come home from school and anticipate the newest YouTube video from either David Wood (formerly Acts17Apologetics), RZIM, William Lane Craig, or Gary Habermas. After a 2 year season of unbelief, I "pulled a Lee Strobel" in Summer of 2018 and came to the confident conclusion that Jesus is God and that he rose from the dead. Since then, I've continued to refine my worldview with whatever cutting-edge research I could find, and Tim from Doxastic Mastery (formerly Invoking Theism) happened to land on my radar of higher-level Christian Apologetics pertaining to the philosophy of religion and miracles. One of my goals in being a part of Doxastic Mastery is to make connections with others in the advanced Apologetics world. For example, on my YouTube channel, I generally see my role in the Apologetics community as being an available resource to streamline the cream-of-the-crop Christian Apologetics resources. I believe that through working with Tim and this community, I will be able to incorporate philosophy of religion concepts to reframe my general epistemology and better convey my worldview. On top of that, it would be even better if I was inspired, through this community, to "think outside the box" when it pertains to answering the questions that are on the frontier of Christian worldview. I'm excited to take my Apologetics career to new heights 😎
