Divine Command Theory: Answering Classic and Contemporary Objections (Interview with Matthew Flannagan)

Editor’s note: This article was originally published at MandM.

Last week Jordan Hampton from Crash Course Apologetics interviewed me about chapters 12-13 of my book Did God Really Command Genocide. In this is the section of the book, I discuss divine command metaethics and critique some of the most important objections raised against divine command theories. The interview is nearly two and a half hours long. We go over every objection I respond to in the book. Enjoy
