Note
In this short lecture, I am comparing speculation within philosophy, philosophy of religion, some forms of non-biblical theology to speculation via scriptural, biblical, revelation. I am not stating or implying that I view all scriptural, biblical, revelation and Christian theology as speculation. I reason there are quite clear biblical teachings, which provide essential New Testament doctrine, for example, but there is also some room for speculation and hence the comparison.
I also, obviously from my academic work, use speculation within philosophy of religion, and I think truth can be found. However, truth in regards to reasonably embraced post-mortem existence requires biblical revelation, in my historical view. I also of course, speculate in regards to some Christian theology.
