Jordan talks with Daniel Williams about the history of the pro-life movement before Roe v. Wade. They cover topics like: What does it mean to be pro-life?

Did they initially see any distinction between contraception and abortion? What about Protestants? Why was there such a consensus for the legality of abortion initially in the 60's? What were they key strategic changes that the pro-lifers made in the late sixities and early seventies that helped? Why did they initially fail before making these changes? Was the pro-life movement just a republican platform from its inception? Did it cross political allegiances? Was it once a democractic platform? What happened? And more!

Jordan and Cody talk with Dru Johnson about his latest book on Darwin and Scripture. They cover topics like: What does Darwin have to do with Scripture? Why would anyone be uncomfortable with the idea that the biblical authors make our world existentially, ethically, and physically coherent in a way that can be harmonized with science? You claim that the biblical literature presents a coherent and sustained intellectual world for us to enter. In what ways does this open new possibilities and close them to our philosophical and theological imaginations? How would you respond to someone claiming your arguments vis-a-vis natural selection are anachronistic? And more!

Does Augustine's doctrine of providence fit with his view of free will? How do later thinkers, particularly Thomas and the Reformers, modify/adapt Augustine's approach to the will? How does baptism affect the will in Augustine’s thought? What implications does that have for those who reject his views on baptism? How much does Augustine's anthropology more generally influence his concept of the will? Is he a platonic dualist? Does that impact his thought? And more!
