Please be joining me on the Deeper Waters Podcast this Saturday as my guest is Dr. Randy Richards. We're going to be talking about a book he co-authored called "Misreading Scripture With Western Eyes." This is the kind of book I wish every Christian would read as it deals with many of the mistakes we make when we read the Bible due to the fact that we often read our own culture into it. Your questions can be taken as well by caling in at 714-242-5180.

Join me this Saturday, 5/10/2014, as I interview Mary Poplin discussing her book "Is Reality Secular?" "Dr. Mary Poplin is professor of education at Claremont Graduate University where she teaches courses on learning and pedagogical theories, philosophy and education, and qualitative research. She is a frequent speaker in academic and religious forums.  She has been both founder and director of the current Master’s teacher education program and dean.  Her most recent research is a five-year study of high-performing teachers in low-performing urban schools in some of the poorest neighborhoods in LA. Her book, Finding Calcutta, is about her experience volunteering with Mother Teresa and the Missionaries of Charity. Her more recent book, Is Reality Secular, is a reflection and analysis of four global worldviews, their principles, their similarities and differences with the Christian worldview and their consequences on lives, nations and cultures."In the book, Poplin looks at four different worldviews and asks how each of them explains reality looking at the fundamental question of why we should think reality is secular. This will also include looking at how she came to the worldview that she has while working at Claremont.

This Saturday, I will be talking with Robert Kolb about the Reformation. In his own words "Robert Kolb, Missions professor of systematic theology emeritus at Concordia Seminary, Saint Louis, came to the seminary faculty after service as executive director of the Center for Reformation Research in Saint Louis (1972-1977) and as professor of religion and history at Concordia College, Saint Paul (1977-1993).  From 1993 to 2009 he served as director of the Seminary’s Institute for Mission Studies and spent extensive periods of time teaching in post-Soviet Europe and East and South Asia.  A member of the LCMS Commission for Theology and Church Relations from 1984 to 1992, he was its chair from 1989 to 1992.  He was associate editor and then co-editor of The Sixteenth Century Journal (1973-1997) and since 1993 has been a member of the continuation committee of the International Congress for Luther Research. He helped edit the new English translation of The Book of Concord (2000) and has published some twenty books on the Lutheran Reformation and on evangelism and Christian doctrine."What relevance does the Reformation have to Christianity and apologetics today?
