#21: A Case Study in Thinking Christianly and Making a Difference: Edmund Husserl

Listen Later

In this episode we do a case study of someone who wove together a number of the themes we have talked about in earlier episodes, including the importance of a commitment to truth and the life of the mind, being a part of a vibrant faith community, dealing with challenges, and being faithful to God’s call. These lessons from the life of philosopher Edmund Husserl, as well as some of his philosophical insights, provide great encouragement and challenge for Christians today. 

In this podcast, we discuss:

  • Who Edmund Husserl is and why his work matters to Christians.
  • How others helped Husserl, JP, Stan, and Jordan in their journeys.
  • How commitment to the truth lead us to be counter-cultural.
  • How we can be faithful through lonely and challenging times.
  • Unexpected ways God uses the seeds we plant to bring Him glory.
  • How Husserl’s philosophical insights help shape our understanding of what is true, good, and beautiful.
