Today's show is an interview Dr. Cary about his new book, "The Meaning of Protestant Theology: Augustine, Luther, and the Gospel which gives us Christ." This is a long awaited discussion after I first read this book over Christmas. We get into some deep theology and philosophy, but all in service of helping Christians understand the surety of their salvation.

Today we talk about the doctrine of creation in St. Augustine with Dr. Ortlund. Dr. Ortlund writes about theological retrieval for evangelicals and this work is a work of retrieval for the doctrine of creation. Our conversation sticks mostly to Augustine, his method of interpretation and understanding of humility.

Dr. Samantha Miller is our guest today. She recently published Chrysostom's Devil, Demons, the Will, and Virtue in Patristic Soteriology with InterVarsity Press. She gives us an introduction to John Chrysostom, how to say his name among other things. We then discuss his connection to Stoicism, virtue, demons, and death. Dr. Miller also gives us a preview of an upcoming book towards the end.

Dr. Wickes is the Associate Professor of Ancient Christianity at Saint Louis University. In this podcast, Dr. Wickes gives some background on Syriac Christianity; explores the import of poetry in this tradition; and even liken Ephrem the Syrian to DC Talk and Reliant K. He also goes into his own journey of how he came to love Ephrem and studying early Christian history.

This interview with Dr. Miller includes information about his background, how he came to study Barth and Augustine, and how he responds pastorally to COVID and Black Lives Matter. It was a pleasure talking with Dr. Miller and we hope you will check out his new book Seeing by the Light: Illumination in Augustine's and Barth's Readings of John.

In this interview, Fr. Meconi talks about Augustine's role in his own academic studies, CS Lewis as an expositor of the Christian tradition, and why Augustine is not too "other-worldly." We hope you enjoy this conversation. It was one of the few times when I, Chad, just had a free flowing conversation with my doctoral advisor. I for one greatly enjoyed this conversation.

This week I am pleased to offer to you a conversation I had with church historian and missiologist Dr. Vince Bantu. Our conversation ranges from discussing Dr. Bantu's academic background to his passion for the Gospel and evangelism for people who reject the Gospel as too Western. I hope you enjoy this is as much as I did.
