In this episode, Charles Kim talks with Nadya Williams about her book Cultural Christians in the Early Church (Zondervan Press).

On this episode, Chad is joined again by his friend Dr. Drew Martin to discuss his recent book on the 19th-century American theologian who is gaining fresh attention, "Grimké on the Christian Life: Christian Vitality for the Church and World," published by Crossway. Dr. Martin served for over 15 years as a pastor and church planter before joining the faculty of Covenant Seminary, where he now teaches systematic theology. Thanks to Crossway for providing a copy of the book for our interview, and to Dr. Martin for taking the time to meet. We hope you enjoy!

This week on the podcast, Chad is joined by Dr. Hans Madueme, Professor of Theological Studies at Covenant College, to discuss his award-winning book “Defending Sin: A Response to the Challenges of Evolution and the Natural Sciences” with Baker Academic Press. Drawing from his deep engagement with the intersection of faith and science, Dr. Madueme explores how Christian theology can thoughtfully respond to evolutionary theory and the natural sciences, especially when they seem to be at odds with faith and doctrine. Thanks to Dr. Madueme for the insightful dialogue and to Baker Academic for providing the book. We hope you enjoy the episode!

This is week 1 of a class I designed on the relationship between Christianity and Politics. Only the first episode will be available on Patreon.

Today, Chad is joined by Dr. Michael Lamb, political philosopher, ethicist, and author of the new book "A Commonwealth of Hope: Augustine’s Political Thought, published by Princeton University Press."

In this episode, they dive into Dr. Lamb’s work, which challenges the prevailing view of Augustine as a purely pessimistic thinker. Instead, A Commonwealth of Hope offers a compelling reinterpretation of Augustine’s political thought as rooted in hope, not despair.

Dr. Lamb brings a rich academic background, having studied and taught at Rhodes, Princeton, and Oxford. He now serves as the F.M. Kirby Foundation Chair of Leadership and Character and Associate Professor of Interdisciplinary Humanities at Wake Forest University.

A special thanks to Dr. Lamb for the insightful conversation!

Welcome to A History of Christian Theology! Today, Chad sits down with his friend and colleague, Dr. Andrew Chronister. Like Chad, Dr. Chronister teaches ancient languages at Kenrick-Glennon Seminary in addition to serving as a professor of patristics. Similarly, they both received their PhDs from Saint Louis University and studied St. Augustine's work there. Their conversation today centers around Dr. Chorinister's newest book: "Augustine in the Pelagian Controversy: Defending Church Unity," which was released in December (2024) with Catholic University of America Press. As Augustinian scholars, their conversation is lively and interesting as they approach the issue of the Pelagian Controversy from multiple angles. Thanks to Dr. Chronister for taking the time to chat on this important topic and for providing Chad with a copy of his book. We hope you enjoy!
