A History of Christian Theology

This interview with Dr. Miller includes information about his background, how he came to study Barth and Augustine, and how he responds pastorally to COVID and Black Lives Matter. It was a pleasure talking with Dr. Miller and we hope you will check out his new book Seeing by the Light: Illumination in Augustine's and Barth's Readings of John.

In this interview, Fr. Meconi talks about Augustine's role in his own academic studies, CS Lewis as an expositor of the Christian tradition, and why Augustine is not too "other-worldly." We hope you enjoy this conversation. It was one of the few times when I, Chad, just had a free flowing conversation with my doctoral advisor. I for one greatly enjoyed this conversation.

Greetings Listeners,

This week I am pleased to offer to you a conversation I had with church historian and missiologist Dr. Vince Bantu. Our conversation ranges from discussing Dr. Bantu's academic background to his passion for the Gospel and evangelism for people who reject the Gospel as too Western. I hope you enjoy this is as much as I did.

We return to my Africans Against the World series this week. I will be finishing up some discussion about monasticism and acedia and then move on to Cyril of Alexandria. Cyril is an extremely important figure in the elucidation of what we mean when we say that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. Almost any contemporary Christian uses this terminology and it would not exist without Cyril.

This episode brings in a new voice: Dr. Drew Harmon. Drew is a friend of Chad's from seminary and did his doctorate on virtue and the Trinity at Marquette University. This episode will mainly be discussing how Ambrose understands virtue and some interesting information about his life. We hope you enjoy it.

In this episode, my class continues with monasticism and one lesser known monk from Ethiopia, Abba Moses the Black. I also discuss how history can give us confidence of God's work in history.

Join us for this episode on a fascinating text which gives us a first hand account of what martyrdom was like for early Christians. Although there was some teaching on this text in the AAW series, we go much more in depth here. I hope you enjoy hearing about the first female writer in Christian history.

This podcast summarizes some of the major movements of the 4th Century and their affect on St. Athanasius and the African church. St. Athanasius was "against the world" and stood up for what he believed against many emperors who did not want him to lead the church in Alexandria. I forgot to record this live at my church, so I just recorded a version of it at home. Hope you enjoy!

Hey Listeners!
We are recording new podcasts as a trio and our first one is On the Perpetual Virginity of Mary by St. Jerome. We are going to look at this one aspect of early Christianity that is not talked about as much in Protestant circles. At least some of the early Christians said Mary was a virgin for her whole life. We will talk about why Jerome believes this and whether we find his argument convincing. I hope you enjoy it.

We are talking about Tertullian's resolve in the face of persecution through his writings. Tertullian wrote in defense of Christians against the government. He also wrote about the Rule of Faith and what Christians believed against those who thought differently. I hope you enjoy this episode. Let me know if you want more info on this class!
