John and Dan speak with theologian Kevin Vanhoozer about postmodern philosophy and Christian theology. Vanhoozer is the author of several serious works of philosophical theology, all of which can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/Kevin-J.-Vanhoozer/e/B001HCYU2O%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share.
Of particular interest is his book "Is There a Meaning in this Text?" If you enjoyed this episode, you will similarly enjoy this book. Very thought-provoking and highly recommended.

Deconstruction and Reconstruction

Season 1 Finale: Dr. Matthew Kaemingk speaks with John and Dan about Theology and Culture. We discuss the nature of worldview and assumptions, cultural deconstruction, political theology, the contours of a Christian redemption story, and a theology of work and vocation. It’s likely the best episode of the whole season.

Matthew Kaemingk—Theology and Culture

Adam Clark speaks with John and Dan about spiritual practices, contemplation, and moral formation. His perspectives are insightful because all too often we tend to understand our Christian faith primarily in terms of beliefs and ideas instead of practices and life trajectories. Clark’s argument is that theology is actually rooted both in ideas and in the active pursuit of love and justice.
