This is episode 67 of the Logos Institute Podcast. In it Joanna Leidenhag and I (Jonathan Rutledge) interview Doctor Joshua Ryan Farris (Alpine Christian School) about his recent book, An Introduction to Theological Anthropology(Baker Academic). In this final part of the interview, we discuss survivalism, the significance of the Incarnation for developing a theological anthropology, recent work in the area by Marc Cortez, how different methodological approaches might lead to differing views on the notion of gender, deification, and much more. If you want to skip around in the interview a bit, here are some timestamps to assist you!
