Have you ever wondered what the difference between a Biblical Scholar and Systematic Theologian is?  What is the role of tradition when it comes to interpreting scripture?  Is it necessary to have a platonic framework to understand scripture?

How should we think about scripture in our post-modern contexts?  What are we to do with historical and scientific discoveries that supposedly contradict scripture?  Does inherency and infallibility still play a part in our modern Biblical understanding?  We sat down and had a conversation with Dr. Iain Provan discussing these questions and more.  We hope you enjoy this conversation, as well as the episodes to follow in our series on Biblical Hermeneutics.  To learn more about Regent College and our upcoming  courses, visit:https://www.regent-college.eduRegent College PodcastThanks for listening.

Churches gather weekly, but for what purpose?  We sat down, in person, and had a conversation with Dr. Jeff Greenman around this very question.  In it we discussed Jeff's book, The Pedagogy of Praise,  which delves into the formative practices that mold the people of God into who God has called them to be.  We also discussed the importance of theological institutions like Regent and the relationship between the academy and the church.  We hope you enjoy our conversation with Dr. Jeff Greenman.  To learn more about Regent College and our upcoming  courses, visit:https://www.regent-college.eduRegent College PodcastThanks for listening.

Theological education is about the formation of people, communities, and the world.  However, much of our theological and higher education has been designed and formed by rugged individualism and what is known as whiteness.  Today we had a conversation with Dr. Willie J. Jennings about his new book, After Whiteness: An Education in Belonging.   Listen in on what Dr. Jennings means by whiteness and how it has permeated our theological institutions.  We hope you enjoy this conversation.

Brokenness and addiction are prevalent in our communities, churches, and nations.  Drug overdoses have gone up significantly in North America and our addictions to media, entertainment, and consumerism have only increased.  Today we had a conversation with Aaron White about the descriptive and prescriptive beatitude community Jesus calls us into and out of our addictions.  Aaron White is a pastor, author, and resident theologian for Jacob's Well and 24-7 Prayer Canada. He recently wrote a book entitled Recovering: From Brokenness and Addiction to Blessedness and Community.  We hope you enjoy our conversation.  Regent College PodcastThanks for listening.

Power has a God-given role in human relationships and institutions, but it can lead to abuse when used in unhealthy ways.  The #MeToo and #ChurchToo conversations allow for light and truth to be shed on the abuse of power.  Often organizations and churches want to prevent this abuse, but many lack an awareness of how power actually works.  Dr. Diane Langberg offers a clinical and theological framework for how we can address these issues and understand how power can be redeemed.  We hope you enjoy our conversation.  Regent College PodcastThanks for listening.
