27 min - The Incarnate Lord - fr. Thomas Joseph White, OP (2 June 2021)
Christology is the study of who Christ is, but often times modern Christologies are composed without a deeper attention to traditional metaphysics: the classical philosophical understanding of reality that comes to us from Aristotle and Aquinas. Al talks with fr. Thomas Joseph White from the Dominican House of Studies about the mystery of the Incarnation and God becoming Man.
29 min - The Soul of an American President: The Untold Story of Dwight D. Eisenhower's Faith - Alan Sears (2 June 2021)
June 6 is the anniversary of the Normandy Invasions, one of the most important battles of the century. The invasion was led by Supreme Allied Commander Eisenhower, who would later go on to the White House. While there have been many biographies of Eisenhower's military and political career, none have looked deeply at the role his faith played in both his personal and public life - despite the fact that he was the only US president to be baptized while in office. Alan Sears joins Al to discuss this.

About Kresta in the Afternoon
From the publisher's feed
For decades, Al Kresta captivated listeners with conversations of consequence on the Things That Matter Most. With the New York Times in one hand and the Catechism of the Catholic Church in the other, he helped us to Build the Church and Bless the Nation.
Shortly after his death from cancer in June 2024, Ave Maria Radio retired the Kresta in the Afternoon program. The archives of the program are available here.
We invite you to tune in daily to our new program, Ave Maria in the Afternoon, with Dr. Marcus Peter.
