Queen of the Sciences

What Is Theology and Who Needs It?


Listen Later

Here's the very first episode of Queen of the Sciences!

In this introductory show we talk about our approach to theology and theology's contested place in our world, but also why Christians need theology--why simply repeating what the Bible says or doing what the church does is insufficient testimony to our faith.

Show Notes:

1. Yep, I mistakenly said "hilasterion" instead of "lutron" for "ransom" in Mark's Gospel. It will be corrected and discussed at length in a future episode!

2. Dad's New Testament mentor was J. Louis Martyn, who wrote among other things a commentary on Galatians and the study Theological Issues in the Letters of Paul.

3. The metaphysical "hornet's nest" to which Dad refers is his book Divine Complexity. More on this in a future episode!
