Down Under Theology

Welcome to season 2 of Down Under Theology, a podcast equipping and encouraging Australian Christians to get down and under the theology impacting the life and mission of the church.

In this special bonus episode, we speak with Nancy Guthrie about her approach to teaching the Bible. We ask her to help us teach the book of Ruth, and discuss the importance of seeing the book in its place in redemptive history. Nancy shows us how we can fruitfully apply the book by looking for the 'ordinary Israelite' in the story. Join us for this highly anticipated episode with Cam's hero!

Nancy Guthrie is a popular author of several books including the recently released I'm Praying for You. She also hosts the podcast, Help Me Teach the Bible, produced by the Gospel Coalition.

In this special bonus episode, we speak with Professor Kelly Kapic about his new book, You're Only Human. We explore the idea of our finitude (i.e. that we are created creatures) and what it means to be human. We touch on the difference between finitude and sinfulness and ask questions like, "Does God LIKE us?". Join us for this special episode as we delve into the goodness of our limitations as humans, and discuss the effect this has on how we live as God's creatures.

In episode 4, we're whizzing through Leviticus, Numbers & Deuteronomy.

Listen in as we discuss how we can engage with these books fruitfully and practically in this whirlwind episode of Down Under Theology.
