Dan Daugherty, Executive Director of the Alcuin Study Center, joins us to explore how the theme of resurrection has been depicted and reimagined in literature and film. From Dickens and Dostoevsky to Tolkien and Nolan, we trace the varied use—and occasional misuse—of resurrection tropes, considering what they reveal about our cultural longings and theological assumptions. Along the way, we discuss everything from The Count of Monte Cristo to The Dark Knight Rises, and why the historical resurrection of Jesus remains central to the Christian faith.

In this episode of World Upside Down, ITS faculty member Dr. David Schrock joins us to explore some of the most pressing questions of our time regarding humanity, technology, life, and death. Together, we unpack why the resurrection of Jesus Christ offers a radically different and embodied hope—one that affirms the Imago Dei, rather than promising a disembodied, uploaded consciousness. We discuss the limits of AI’s promises, the challenge of death, and how the resurrection remains the foundational hope that shapes the Christian life today.

In this episode of World Upside Down, Dr. Benjamin Gladd joins us to explore how Christ’s resurrection launched a new era in redemptive history—what the New Testament calls “the age to come.” Together we discuss why eschatology isn’t just about end-times charts and how the new creation is already breaking into our lives through the Spirit.

Drake joins Dr. P and Dr. Roger Williams to journey through church history and discover how belief in Christ’s bodily resurrection has withstood attacks from heretics, skeptics, and secularists alike.

What if resurrection isn't just a New Testament idea? In this inaugural episode of World Upside Down, Old Testament scholar Dr. Stephen Dempster reveals a fascinating, centuries-spanning pattern of “third-day” deliverance woven throughout Scripture. Discover how stories from Genesis to the Prophets foreshadow the hope of new life and why Paul insists that Christ’s third-day resurrection accords with the Old Testament. Along the way, you’ll learn how temple theology, typology, and the theme of death-turned-to-life shape our understanding of God’s ultimate plan. Join us for a deep, eye-opening conversation that brings fresh perspective to one of the Bible’s most important doctrines—resurrection.
