Rebecca McLaughlin is joined by Christy Thornton to answer questions about the Trinity.Questions Covered in This Episode:Has God always been Triune?Do other aspects of God's identity change between the Old and New Testament?Is “let us make man in our image” written in plurality?If God was triune from the beginning why didn't He make that clear from the beginning?Why is the Trinity not more clearly articulated in the New Testament?How do we know there are just three parts to God?How can all three parts be fully God and yet not all of God's fullness?What differentiates each person of the Trinity?What exactly does it mean for Jesus to be the Son of God? How is it different from us being sons and daughters of God? How is this different from being a demi-god?If Jesus is fully God then He is perfect. If He is fully human then He is sinful, by definition, someone who is sinful can't be perfect. How then can Jesus and God be one and the same?Who is God the Father? Who is God the Son? Who is the Holy Spirit?How do we know we aren't projecting our human understanding and relationships onto God?Guest Bio:Christy Thornton is Assistant Professor of Christian Thought and Associate Director of PhD Studies and Director of ThM Studies at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.

What have Baptists believed about religious liberty, and how ought we to think about it now? Dr. Nathan Finn joins us to talk about state churches, patriotism, spiritual formation, and Christian nationalism.

In this month's episode, Christy Thornton discusses the surprising influence of post-revolutionary Mexico on some of the twentieth century's most important international economic institutions, including the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. Triangulating between archives in Mexico, the United States, and Great Britain, Thornton traces how Mexican officials repeatedly led the charge among Third World nations campaigning for greater representation within and redistribution through multilateral institutions created to promote international development and finance. In doing so, she recovers the crucial role played by Mexican economists, diplomats, and politicians in shaping global economic governance and U.S. hegemony during the mid-twentieth century.

Bart Barber is the pastor of First Baptist Church of Farmersville, a normal-sized church in Texas. But last June he was elected as the President of the Southern Baptist Convention. He tells us about his conversion, his call to ministry, and how he found himself elected. He tells us about his commitment to joy amidst the serious issues of our day. (“I will not spend a year bereft of a merry heart.”) But then, we speak about those serious issues — namely, the sexual abuse crisis. Bart recaps what the SBC has done, and he updates us on the work of the Abuse Reform Implementation Task Force. “They're about to start releasing actual actions,” he explains. “The ballgame has changed.” (The conversation starts at 5:42.) Plus, in “Headlines” (2:01), Dr. Benjamin Quinn talks about Damar Hamlin and the dignity of athletes. In “On My Bookshelf” (27:56), Dr. Christy Thornton recommends a book.

For this episode, Christy Thornton joins us to talk about her book *Revolution in Development.* It tells the story of the revolutionary Mexican state's exclusion from the international financial system in the early 20th century, its new conception of credit and push for multilateral development lending in the interwar period, and its ultimately tragic defense of the Bretton Wood institutions in the postwar period. Along the way she asks us to think about hegemony in the world-system, agency in the global south prior to the much-hyped moment in the 1970s, and Mexico's revolution in development as a cautionary tale about compromise with dominant institutions.Thank you to our intern, Keegan Hill, for helping to edit this episode.*** LINKS ***Christy Thornton's faculty page: https://soc.jhu.edu/directory/christy-thornton/Buy *Revolution in Development: Mexico and the Governance of the Global Economy* here: https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520297166/revolution-in-development

There's a tiny park in Baltimore's Guilford neighborhood that's home to an improbable monument. It's a bronze bust of Simon Bolivar, who liberated Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia from Spanish colonial rule. Questions abound: Who made this thing? Was it a gift? Who was it from? How and why is it here? And what message should we take from it? Get ready for a trip down a historical rabbit hole that spans centuries, from the Colonial Era to the Cold War. In this episode, we hear from: Public historian Aimee Pohl, who's written an article about the statue and produced a video feature on the subject for Baltimore Heritage.

Revolution in Development: Mexico and the Governance of the Global Economy (University of California Press, 2021) uncovers the surprising influence of post-revolutionary Mexico on the twentieth century's most important international economic institutions.  Drawing on extensive archival research in Mexico, the United States, and Great Britain, Christy Thornton meticulously traces how Mexican officials repeatedly rallied Third World leaders to campaign for representation in global organizations and redistribution through multilateral institutions.  By decentering the United States and Europe in the history of global economic governance, Revolution in Development shows how Mexican economists, diplomats, and politicians fought for more than five decades to reform the rules and institutions of the global capitalist economy. In so doing, the book demonstrates, Mexican officials shaped not only their own domestic economic prospects, they shaped the contours of the project of international development itself.

She has a Ph.D. in History from Columbia University, and she writes about elite migration, education, transnationalism, and youth in twentieth-century Mexico. She is on Twitter (@rachelgnew).

Leftist Andrés Manuel López Obrador, or AMLO, won an overwhelming victory in Mexico's presidential election, shattering a corrupt, old party system that brought ordinary Mexicans rampant violence and economic immiseration.

With Trump, Mexico is the symbol and source of so many things that are wrong with the United States.
