TSC_037 Ben Blackwell and Randy Hatchett, Engaging Theology

<- Back to Episodes Ben Blackwell and Randy Hatchett-Engaging Theology  Ben Blackwell, Associate Professor of New Testament and Christian Origins at HBU, and Randy Hatchett, Professor of Theology and Philosophy, also of HBU, have written a new book: Engaging Theology: A Biblical, Historical, and Practical Introduction   (Zondervan, 2019).  The book demonstrates the relevance of “engaging” theology rather than just thinking about God, the world and humanity.  The authors, while seasoned, do a great job of making theology understandable.  They focus on the story of scripture, doctrinal exposition, theological relevance (and reflection), and finally spiritual relevance.  Recently, a film crew from Zondervan Academic filmed Ben and Randy talking about their new book in the scholar’s cottage.  Look for those videos in spring or fall 2021.

TSC_022 John Behr, Reading Scripture Allegorically

<- Back to Episodes John Behr - Reading Scripture Allegorically In part two of our podcast, Dr. John Behr (patristics professor, formerly of St. Vladimir’s Seminary, now at the University of Aberdeen) makes another provocative statement: “Unless we read the Bible allegorically, we are not reading it as Scripture.”  In the early church, what they remembered about Jesus was reflected through the passion in light of Scripture, that is, the Old Testament.  He ends the podcast making some recommendations about how a person might go about reading the Church Fathers.

TSC_021 John Behr, We Have a Book Called ‘the Book’

<- Back to Episodes John Behr  We Have a Book Called 'the Book' Patristic expert, Dr. John Behr (PhD, Oxford), tells the story of how he came to the Orthodox faith.  After discussing some of the differences between the Orthodox and Protestant faiths, he proposes that one difference is the problem: “we have a book called ‘The Bible’ (‘the Book’).  The fact that we divide it into two parts, the Old Testament and the New Testament, means that we miss something fundamental.

TSC_035 Katya Covrett-Status of Women in Academic Publishing

<- Back to Episodes Katya Covrett-Status of Women in Academic Publishing Katya Covrett, executive editor of Zondervan Academic, talks with David Capes about the challenges women scholars face in getting into academic publishing.  The challenge is not unique to publishing in biblical studies and theology but in other disciplines as well.  Zondervan has made great strides in publishing quality academic books with women as authors and editors.  Still, Covrett argues, it will take strategic cooperation between institutions of higher learning and publishers to move toward balance.

TSC_034 Evans and Johnston – Scribes and Their Remains

Craig Evans and Jeremiah Johnston--Scribes and Their Remains In this podcast, David Capes talks with Craig Evans, John Bisagno Distinguished Professor of Christian Origins at Houston Baptist University, and Jeremiah Johnston, founder and president of the Christian Thinkers Society, about their new book Scribes and Their Remains (T. & T. Clark, 2019).  Scholars have a growing interest in the artifacts of early Christianity, particularly the book culture and the scribes who produced them. We discuss an Egyptian papyrus, a pre-Christian letter written by a husband to his pregnant wife announcing he will be coming home late, after she gives birth.  He urges her: “If it is a boy, keep it; if it is a girl, throw it out.”  Early Christians, aware of the practice, wrote against it and sought to rescue exposed children.  Dr. Evans discusses his essay that deals with the longevity of ancient books.  Some evidence suggests that in the book culture of early Christianity some Christian books lasted 150-200 years.
