Not to Miss Podcast Episodes

Stuff to Listen to

Okay, I listen to a lot of different podcasts, so here are some episodes I really, really recommend:

Theology in the Raw - Conversation with Francis Chan

In this episode, Preston Sprinkle talks to Francis Chan about his remarkable encounter with Benny Hinn, how he’s revisited his beliefs about the Eucharist, his ministry in Hong Kong, and the pros and cons of being educated at The Master’s College (now University) and Seminary. 

The Rest is History - Communism

An awesome episode on communism as radical Christianity disrobed of its metaphysics with an over-realized eschatology and a myopic view of human depravity.

Quillette - Stalin’s War - A New History of WWII

Quillette’s Jonathan Kay speaks with Bard University history professor Sean McMeekin about his new book, which describes how the fears and ambitions of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin shaped the course of the Second World War

Political Animals - Evangelical Christianity

Jonathan Cole discusses the fate and fortunes of Evangelicalism with Michael Bird. They explore the contemporary meaning(s) of the term "Evangelicalism," the politicisation and fragmentation of the Evangelical theological tradition and its place in a secular and hostile social context. Sidebars are aplenty in this rollicking conversation, including on the ABC, Q&A, the ACL, Margaret Court, Israel Folau, Cancel Culture, George Orwell's 1984, civic totalitarianism, the modern media, progressive Christianity and the meaning of Conservatism.

Naked Bible Podcast - Revelation 5

Michael Heiser is a brilliant expositor of the Bible, esp. in light of ancient Near Eastern and Second Temple Jewish backgrounds. A very detailed but fascinating episode about a famous scene in the New Testament.

Where Do We Go From Here? - Biblical Womanhood Ain’t Biblical

Devi Abraham and Jessica Van Der Wyngaard talk to Prof Beth Allison Barr (Baylor Uni) about the cultural forces that shaped how the church treated women from the medieval period to the Reformation to where we are today.

Shaun Tabatt Show - Interview with Clint Burnett on Ancient Inscriptions

Clint is an up-and-coming NT scholar who uses ancient inscriptions to help us understand the New Testament. If you like Indian Jones, you’ll like this episode.
