Dr. Beau Branson is currently Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Brescia University in Kentucky.

He received his Ph.D. in 2014 at the University of Notre Dame, directed by Richard Cross, where he specialized in Philosophical Theology, Metaphysics, and Ancient and Hellenistic Philosophy.

His dissertation, "The Logical Problem of the Trinity",

can be found on his Research page.

His research focuses on the philosophy of the early Church Fathers.

By bringing the rigor of contemporary logic and analytic metaphysics to bear on deep historical questions in patristics scholarship,

He hopes to show how both analytic theology and historical theology can benefit from a deeper engagement with one another.

For well over 2 decades my guest Sam Shamoun has been writing articles, doing sessions, interviews, debates, discussions, defending the Christian faith, and like a shepard, weaponizing the flock to defend themselves spiritually against everything that is anti-Christian.

Me, being the benificiary of his teachings for the past 1,5 years, it had to happen that i would have him on my Full Armour Channel.

Our subject is about The Apostle Paul, with 13 Epistles in the New Testament. One of THE most influential figure of Christianity. Whose writings and influence have touched the hearts and minds of billions of people (Christians and non-Christians). God using him as an extension to Himself, for the Gentiles (rest of the world) is something that should not be neglected!

The legitimacy, historicity, teachings and influence of the beloved Apostle Paul is what we are looking at today.

My guest is Dr. David Bradshaw, a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Kentucky.

Today we had a conversation about his book "Aristotle East and West"

This book traces the development of conceptions of God and the relationship between God's being and activity from Aristotle, through the pagan Neoplatonists, to thinkers such as Augustine, Boethius and Aquinas (in the West) and Dionysius the Areopagite, Maximus the Confessor and Gregory Palamas (in the East). The result is a comparative history of philosophical thought in the two halves of Christendom, providing a philosophical backdrop to the schism between the Eastern and Western Churches.

My guest David the Real MedWhite is an absolute theological fanatic, specialized in Orthodox theology and specifically more in the "Hypostatic Union".

Jesus being aswell "God" as "Man", being both divine and human has a profound effect in Christian theology.

It is one of the most mysterious aspects of Christian soteriology and Christology. A lot rests upon this doctrine.

And i brought David to further educate me/us on this beautifull and fun subject.
