Challenges of Viewing History as Black and White

In this episode Caleb talks with John Wilsey (PhD, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary) professor of church history and philosophy at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary about how to read history well and how to learn from imperfect voice of the past. What is history and why should we care about it? How do we listen to and learn from imperfect and sinful people without minimize their flaws or neglecting to look in the mirror of our own hearts to see our own fallenness and shortcomings?
