Louisiana historian Dr. Cheryl White joins the podcast in this episode to discuss the 19th-century Episcopal missionary bishop Leonidas Polk and the Episcopal Church during the Civil War. We also scratch the surface of some of Dr. White's other research interests (the shroud of Turin and the Yellow Fever epidemics of Louisiana).

Delightful episode and discussion with Stephen D. Morrison, author of the Plain English series where he brings the thought of famous theologians to beginning readers of theology. On this episode, we discuss the theological legacy of T.F. Torrance, his engagement with science, his Christ-centeredness, and his pastoral answer to the "burning question" (tune in to hear what this is).Stephen Morrison is the author of thirteen books on theology, fiction, and literary criticism. He describes himself as a "life-long student" with "no fixed allegiances". You can check out more of his work at www.sdmorrison.org

Episode shownotes:We referenced a quote in this episode from page 50 of Alexandra Radcliff's book The Claim of Humanity in Christ: Salvation and Sanctification in the Theology of T.F. and J.B. Torrance, (Wipf & Stock Publishers, 2016).

The books that host Andrew refers people to for further reading on atonement theologies are:

*Crucifixion: Understanding the Death of Jesus Christ by Fleming Rutledge (William B. Eerdman's Publish, 2015)

*Atonement and the Death of Christ: An Exegetical, Historical, and Philosophical Exploration by William Lane Craig (Baylor University Press, 2020)

Rev. Sean Duncan joins us on this episode to discuss the great Elizabethan theologian Richard Hooker.

 “In Richard Hooker one discovers profound conservative observations which Burke inherited with his Anglicanism and which Hooker drew in part from the Schoolmen and their authorities…” – Russel Kirk from The Conservative Mind  (Stellar Classics, e-book edition) location 218

Jacqueline Mariña is one of our current day's leading experts on the 19th-century theological giant Friedrich Schleiermacher. Her areas of expertise include Schleiermacher, Philosophy of Religion, and also the work of Immanuel Kant.  Join us for some discussion on Immanuel Kant and Friedrich Schleiermacher in this episode and their influence on philosophy and theology.  I am honored to have such an accomplished scholar on the show.

This is a re-upload of our recent episode with Dr. Edwards. We had some audio issues with the episode. We were able to slightly improve it through an editing software a friend recommended. I will leave both versions of the episode up.

What are the metaphysical and spiritual realities going on when we receive the Communion? Dr. James Arcadi joins us to discuss the English Reformer and father of Anglican liturgy Thomas Cranmer, Cranmer's theology of the Holy Eucharist, and the spectrum of beliefs on the Eucharist across Christianity.

I was honored to have a great discussion with leading Reformation scholar N. Scott Amos on the sometimes overlooked 16th century Reformation figure Martin Bucer, and Bucer's influence on Anglican liturgy and the Book of Common Prayer.

This episode is anything but miserable!  Isaac Rehberg from the Anglican podcast Miserable Offenders joins us to discuss his top 5 favorite theologians (it is a good list), and Rev. Andrew shares a couple of his as well.

*the man that Luther debated about communion in both kinds and who he refered to as a "vile smelling toilet" in his writing Babylonian Captivity of the Church  was Jerome Emser
