Today we spoke with alumna and pediatrics specialist Dr. Jennie McLaurin. The practice of medicine today poses all kinds of challenges: the pressure to prioritize efficiency, the tension between specialization and whole-person care, and the challenge to maintain a patient-centered approach. Can these problems be fixed? How does the understanding of medicine as a moral art-–not just a scientific one––impact patient care? And what does Christian theology contribute to our understanding of the doctor-patient relationship? Join us for this practical and important conversation about medicine today.To learn more about Regent College and our upcoming courses, visit: www.regent-college.edu.Regent College Podcast Thanks for listening.

Walton is a Professor of Old Testament at Wheaton College. He specializes in Ancient Near Eastern backgrounds of the Old Testament.

On today's podcast, we spoke with alumnus David Nacho, a theologian from Bolivia who served as Academic Dean at one of Latin America's most renowned theological institutions—the Centre for Interdisciplinary Theological Studies (CETI). Our conversation touched on several themes within the Latin American church: What, for example, is the value of "contextual" theology, and how did this approach come about? (Or to put it more provocatively: What hath liberation theology to do with Martin Luther?) How does one read the Bible "in community"? And what do western missionary legacies and Neo-Pentecostal growth mean for those engaged in theological formation? Don't miss this illuminating conversation (or Octavio's delight at having a fellow Bolivian on the show). To learn more about Regent College and our upcoming courses, visit: www.regent-college.edu.Regent College Podcast Thanks for listening.

A prolific scholar and a gifted musician, Dr. Jeremy Begbie is one of today's most important writers on theology and the arts. We had a wonderful conversation with Dr. Begbie about how the arts enrich and expand our theological imagination. How does music help us understand complex subjects like pain, joy, or even the nature of God? Can the arts teach theology on their own terms?
