October 30, 2024 57 Psalm 51 Part One
We are back...finally... Season 3 launch. Start up for teachers is NO JOKE!
This podcast explores the rich symbolism and theological depth of Psalm 51, a powerful prayer of repentance attributed to King David. Our esteemed Dr. Duo discuss how Psalm 51 connects to Old Testament rituals like the red heifer sacrifice and the use of hyssop for purification, while also foreshadowing Christian themes of baptism and Christ's sacrifice. Dr. Mclarney and Dr. Fawcett highlight how the Psalm expresses a universal human need for divine mercy and cleansing from sin, making it a timeless and relatable text for people of faith.

May 12, 2024 54 St. Anselm's Ontological Argument: Explain and Revisited
Can you know that God exists just by thinking about what the word "God" means? Anselm suggests that--with the help of God's grace--perhaps you can. Scholarch McLarney and Schoolman Fawcett discuss what the "ontological argument" of the Proslogion says (and doesn't say) and how to respond to the objections to the argument raised by Gaunilo and Thomas Aquinas.

April 28, 2024 52: The Descent of Christ's Basilikos Part 1
Episode 52: The Descent of Christ's Basilikos Part 1
Perhaps the most overlooked passage in John’s Gospel (4:43-54), the story of Jesus’s second sign and the Royal Official (basilikos), stand as a microcosm of the drama of salvation history. Jesus’s mission of descent and ascent, mirrored by the Royal Official’s descent from Cana to Capernaum, are considered by Scholarch McLarney and Schoolman Fawcett in this two-part discussion along with its implications for St. John’s view of humanity, the Trinity, faith, obedience, worldly status, communion, mission and the household of faith, the Church

April 16, 2024 51 Pursuit of St. Anselm
Anselm is famous for (among other things) his ontological argument for God's existence in his book, the Proslogion, but what often gets missed is that the Proslogion isn't about Anselm coming up with a great argument: it's about God revealing who He is to Anselm. In this episode, Schoolman Fawcett makes his case to Scholarch McLarney that the Proslogion is a kind of psalm in which a poor sinner realizes he can't get to God by his own efforts and cries out to God to show Himself, and God answers by enlightening him.

March 24, 2024 48 Hegel and St. Irenaeus Part 2
Hegel and St. Irenaeus: Progress and History

The ideas of history and progress infuse many contemporary discussions. Commonly issued phrases such as “being on the right side of history” or “in this new era of progress” tacitly assume there is a beginning, middle, and end of history. But where does this notion come from?
In Part 2 we consider Hegel’s philosophy of the self-conscious, desire, and how humans progress towards self-actualization through engagement with the other. This approach is contrasted with St. Irenaeus’s articulation of human fulfillment in the eyes of the Other.
