1 day ago

This podcast covers a wide range of topics - from history, to philosophy, to literature - and relates them to the Christian theme of redemption! The questions that unite the range of episodes are as follows: what are the basic truths that characterize our experience of ourselves as humans? and what are the basic truths that characterize our experience of God? I will explore a variety of topics that in some way contribute a response to these questions. So if you are interested in thinking deeply about human experience, this is the podcast for you!
