17d ago15:53

15:53

In today's episode we're looking at influential modern theologian Karl Barth. This is my third try at writing this episode because I've struggled to be able to present Barth in a way that both appreciates his impact on the 20th century church while dealing with the problems in his personal life.

February 2024 Book Talk | The Gospel of Church by Janine Giordano-Drake 59:21

2M ago59:21

59:21

In 1908, Unitarian pastor Bertrand Thompson observed the momentous growth of the labor movement with alarm. “Socialism,” he wrote, “has become a distinct substitute” for the church. He was not wrong. In the generation after the Civil War, few of the migrants who moved North and West to take jobs in factories and mines had any association with tradi…

Tertullian and the Movement of the Spirit (chapter 12) 25:34

2M ago25:34

25:34

In this episode, I consider the character of Tertullian of Carthage (c. 155/60 - after 220). Accused of being a Montanist by later writers, Tertullian was the father of Latin Christianity, even referred to as "the Master" by St Cyprian. After considering his relationship to Montanism, I discuss some of my favourite passages from his treatise "On Pr…

This week, I discuss the movement called Montanism, one of the roads not taken by the Great Church in the second century. How does the Holy Spirit speak in the church after the New Testament?

In this video, I look at what the idea of the imperial Adventus/arrival at a city means, drawing on Ammianus Marcellinus' Res Gestae from c. 381, and then the theological use of the analogy by St Athanasius' On the Incarnation from the early 330s. Hopefully it will help you observe a blessed Advent this year! …
