The Rev. Dr. Ephraim Radner lectures on the life and influence of St. John the Divine.

Politics has inflated beyond the realm where it can order our finite, common, physical lives. What is the natural realm of politics? How is it delimited by human mortality? Theologian Dr. Ephraim Radner joins Matt and Alastair to discuss the theme of his fascinating new book, Mortal Goods: Reimagining Christian Political Duty. Full show notes at www.merefidelity.com.

How can poetry teach us to read Scripture?Everything within creationSpeaks of Jesus' Incarnation.Likewise too, his saving PassionIs shown forth in all that's fashioned.The Word God spoke before all agesCan be traced in Scripture's pages.The Bible tells one vast narrationfrom Genesis to Revelation.So begins "Figural Graffiti," a delightful instructional poem by theology professor Joe Mangina. "Figural Graffiti" is sincere and playful, and it's a little ditty on the method and gift of reading scripture figurally. We discuss today this ancient and lively method of reading Scripture, what we lose when we lose the knack of figural reading, and what freedom figural reading gives us as disciples and Christian leaders.Dr. Joseph Mangina is professor of theology at Wycliffe College, Toronto. His scholarly interests include ecclesiology, ecumenism, sacramental theology, and theological interpretation of Scripture. For several years in the 2000s he served on the Anglican-Roman Catholic dialogue commission for Canada. Among other books, he's written two on Karl Barth, the Revelation commentary for the Brazos Theological Commentary series, and most recently, he's co-edited a book called Figural Reading and the Fleshly God: The Theology of Ephraim Radner.Read "Figural Graffiti" on the Living Church's free online journal, Covenant.Check out Joe's new book.Register for the Living Church's upcoming conference.

What would you write to your adult children about the good life? Would it strike the modern notes of making the most of yourself and your abilities, seizing every opportunity, making a difference in the world? Or would it focus on the beauty and goodness of our created and providentially given limits, personally and relationally?This is the question that prompted Ephraim Radner's most recent book, Mortal Goods: Reimagining Christian Political Duty. In today's Greystone Conversation, Greystone President, Dr. Mark A. Garcia, sits down with Professor Radner to explore the ironically revolutionary idea that the ordinary, quotidian, limited life we have been graciously given in God's providence is the world we are called to and which invites our self-offering. In a time when political and social fervor is at fever-pitch, and it's easy to believe that we are called to make a difference in the world at large, especially through political means, this is a call back to something the Church has always cherished in one way or another: both creation and providence are good, and our limits, the limits of our bodily lives maximally defined, are goods too. Radner's book takes its point of departure in a letter he wrote to his adult children, an updated version of which closes the book, and along the way he prods and provokes in the direction of greater modesty in what he calls “betterment” politics. But the frame of the book, and its heart, we suggest, is this message about the beauty of our ordinary lives and contexts, and it is this that we considered together in today's episode.

What's the proper scope of Christian politics?Should Christians be politically active, and if so, how? Is the political sphere and its options a place of anxiety and ceaseless activity that should be avoided? Is it a place of possibility to "bring heaven to earth"? Does it have value as a place of failure and limitation? And what do politics have to do with loving neighbors, worshipping God, or writing letters to our children? Much -- perhaps. And maybe most effectively in the spheres that are smallest, least ambitious, and closest to home. Today we talk with the Rev. Dr. Ephraim Radner about his new book, Mortal Goods: Reimagining Christian Political Duty. We'll discuss how our daily, imperfect lives and the mortal goods that make them up can help us define and limit the scope of Christian political vision and action. If our hope does not rest in this world, how are we then freed to take care in this world, and take care of this world, with sobriety, joy, and thankfulness? Ephraim is professor emeritus of historical theology at Wycliffe College, Toronto. His range of ministerial experience includes ministry and teaching in Burundi, Haiti, inner-city Cleveland, Connecticut, and Colorado. He's the author of several books including Mortal Goods, which we discuss today, A Time to Keep, A Brutal Unity, and The End of the Church. He is married to the Rev. Annette Brownlee and they are the parents of Hannah and Isaac.Hold that NPR newsfeed for just a minute. We're going to step back to ancient Israel to remember what exactly God asks of human beings.

E se a Reforma for mais católica do que estamos acostumados a pensar? Neste segundo episódio da minissérie sobre a relação entre Reforma e secularização, damos palco a autores que contestam a narrativa de Brad Gregory e até a de Charles Taylor, apresentada no episódio anterior. Mostrando precedentes medievais para práticas modernas que a Reforma tentou corrigir, bem como sua continuidade com a igreja medieval e patrística, tentamos descobrir o que realmente deu errado para que a secularização viesse à tona na modernidade.

Register for "The Word of God Endures Forever" webinar. Our guest today is the Rev. Dr. Annette Brownlee, chaplain, director of field education and professor of pastoral theology at Wycliffe College, a theological school that forms many Anglicans and Christians of other traditions, in Toronto, Ontario. And she is someone who has had a profound influence in many lives of clergy and clery in training, whether they're serving in the Episcopal Church or elsewhere. She is the person whose door, in her own words, people knock on and say, "Can I come talk to you?" She is someone I have wanted to talk to for some time, and I finally got a chance to get her on the other side of the mic to ask her what it takes to nurture and disciple people who will very soon be leaders in God's Church -- many of them in the beautiful and broken family we know as Anglican. We talk together about how training young ministers to be effective means teaching them to be rooted and ecumenical. In a school where Episcopal and Catholic students learn Greek with Reformed ACNA and non-denom students, what happens in this kind of context? And how can the challenge and opportunity it presents be pressed into formation? So you're not into corporate prayer? Well you need it. Crack open that prayer book! And you? You're in love with the BCP, the liturgy? Reverent with your burses and veils? Great! Now go sing praise songs and help serve soup at that storefront church. Much of what we talk about centers also on teaching seminarians early to value and know the power of the Holy Spirit in the quotidian and the small, because much of parish life -- and indeed our life given as creatures -- is made of exactly this small dailyness. And if moments of heroic decision or action come for any of us, they'll depend on what we did without being noticed. The de-centering of oneself and learning the art of humilty -- something we could all benefit from. Before coming to Wycliffe Annette was in fulltime parish ministry for many years. She currently assists and preaches at St. Paul's L'Amoreaux in Scarborough. Her research interests include the multiple implications of preaching Scripture as the church's book, Augustine's divine pedagogy as a rule of life for preachers, the sermons of André Trocmé, and a model of theological reflection based on the Spirit's use of Scripture in the Church. She is married to Ephraim Radner and they have two children. Strap on your knapsack. Zip up your anorak. We're going to Canada.

Ephraim Radner, co-editor of All Thy Lights Combine, joins Dr. Ayars on this installment of Seminary Unboxed.

Sermon from 2/13/22.

Ephraim Radner and Annette Brownlee are an intermarried couple and scholars serving at Wycliffe College, an evangelical graduate school of theology at the University of Toronto. Jewish identity, the biblical history of Israel and deep faith in Jesus are important to both partners in this thoughtful Jewish-Gentile couple.

In this episode, professor Ephraim Radner and I discuss the nature of Scripture. You won't want to miss this conversation. Make sure to listen right to the end. We develop an idea right to that the end of the conversation. So it might just be worth the wait. 

This episode is a conversation with Dr. Ephraim Radner of Wycliffe College. We discuss a figural reading of Scripture (2:20), the relationship between Scripture and time/history (9:06), examples of figural readings in church history and modern practice (12:38), how to think about figural reading in preaching and teaching (31:52), human suffering (38:35), and more. Buy Ephraim's books. This episode is brought you by the Text & Canon Institute of Phoenix Seminary. Check out the new and improved textandcanon.org. Church Grammar is presented by the Christian Standard Bible. Intro music: Purple Dinosaur by nobigdyl. Producer: Katie Larson. Brandon D.

In the words of the old Pentecost hymn, where does "the Holy Spirit make a dwelling"? This is the question of our episode today. The Spirit is the person of the Trinity who conceives and animates the flesh of Christ and his body, the Church. How are these realities related, and how do we recognize them? In 1998, the Rev. Dr. Ephraim Radner, professor of historical theology at Wycliffe College, published a book called The End of the Church, a spicy title that refers to the egregious reality of disunity and failure in Christ's body. Given that, the book asks, doesn't death in the body indicate the Spirit's absence? In 2019, Dr. Radner published another book on what he sees as our contemporary misreadings and misunderstandings of the Spirit's work in the world and our lives, and that book is called A Profound Ignorance: Modern Pneumatology and Its Anti-Modern Redemption. Are we given the gift of the Holy Spirit in order to fix, or even alleviate, the world's problems and sufferings? How do we know what the Holy Spirit is up to, when faced with vague or conflicting claims of the Spirit's work? Where is the Holy Spirit in our failure? The Rev Dr. Wesley Hill and I sat down for a conversation with the Rev. Dr. Ephraim Radner about just these questions. We were delighted and challenged. Enjoy listening in!

Dr. Stephen Rankin interviews Dr. Ephraim Radner, Professor of Historical Theology at Wycliffe College about Radner's recent article on theology after the virus and how the covid-19 pandemic has presented a new opportunity to engage in theological education. 

Rusty Reno is author of several books and editor of First Things, an ecumenical journal of religion and public life. His conversation with Ryan covers his conversion from Anglicanism to Catholicism, the scholars and books that have most influenced him, and why he thinks fear is an enemy to solidarity.

Covid-19 has wreaked havoc this year not merely on public health or economic stability, but perhaps most lastingly, on our institutions of higher education. We can lament this crisis, but we must also learn from it. While many worthy institutions may be struggling now through no fault of their own, the coronavirus crisis has also revealed a deeper rot at the heart of much of American higher education, to which theological education has not been immune. How can we use this crisis to creatively rethink the relationship between the church and the academy? How can we mold institutions that can offer accessible, rigorous, and practical intellectual formation for Christian scholars, pastors, and teachers? Join Brad Littlejohn, Ephraim Radner, R. R. Reno, and O. Alan Noble as they discuss the future of theological education. This webinar was recorded on October 14th, 2020, via Zoom.

In the year 1900, the average human lifespan in the West was 40 years. Today we expect to live 80 years or more. In this episode, J. Todd Billings and guest, Ephraim Radner (A Time to Keep, 2017), discuss how our perceived control over our mortality shapes our understanding of who God is and what we think it means to live a faithful life. Will the recognition that we are ‘like grass which fades and blows away' (Is 40:6) lead us to despair? Or, like the biblical witness, can it reorder our values to claim, “But, the word of the Lord endures forever” (vs 8)?

What is the wilderness period of the church? We interview Amy again on her book, Ephraim Radner, Hosean Wilderness, and the Church in the Post-Christendom West. We also discuss some pressing questions about the future of the church.

Is the church a ‘dead corpse’? In this episode we interview our very own Dr. Amy Erickson on her new book Ephraim Radner, Hosean Wilderness, and the Church in the Post-Christendom West. We also get to know a bit more about Amy and what lead her to this project.

In this episode, we begin by exploring what Ephraim Radner calls "The Great Transition" – the transition seen in the past 200 years where life expectancy has risen from 30 years old (which is what it has always been) to nearly 80 years old. We talk about the difference between "basic anxiety" and "neurotic anxiety," and the difference between "chronos time" and "kairos time." All of this will be explored in light of the claim of Hebrews 2:15 which tells us that Jesus came to "free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death."

Screens, emergency solutions, and stillness. Fr. Jeff Hansen and Neil Dhingra talk with Ephraim Radner and Bishop Daniel Martins about theological and pastoral responses to the pandemic while posing some challenging questions. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/living-church/support

And you thought Joshua was bad! In this episode I undertake to persuade Dad that the other-least-popular book of the Old Testament is not just an arcane collection of burnt offerings and sin offerings and wave offerings but in fact is the metaphysical substrate of the gospel itself. (Spoiler alert: he is won over.) Have a listen for a new perspective on "detestable" animals, mixed fibers, death on account of blasphemy, liver lobes, and so much more! Notes: 1. As mentioned before, Dad has a forthcoming commentary in the Brazos series on the book of Joshua. 2. Dad mentions the stroke he had two years ago in this episode; in case you missed it, a bonus episode from last year recounts that experience 3. Ephraim Radner, Leviticus 4. Luther’s commentary on Deuteronomy (specifically ch. 7) deals with the question of who exactly the commands in the Bible are addressed to 5. The only two appearances of Leviticus in the Revised Common Lectionary are Epiphany 7 and Proper 25, both in Year A, both from ch. 19 6. Mary Douglas, Leviticus as Literature 7. The hymn is indeed “There is a Fountain Filled with Blood” but the author is William Cowper, not Isaac Watts. 8. More enthusing from me about Leviticus: “Learning to Love Leviticus” (yup, I loved the alliteration so much I stole it from myself to give this episode the same title); a brief review of Douglas’s Leviticus as Literature (scroll to the bottom of the page); commentary on the intra-Pentateuchal discussion between Jesus and the scribe in Mark 12:28–34; and an issue of my e-newsletter Theology & a Recipe devoted to “Discerning Walls with Leviticus” (plus an awesome pair of recipes for Hot Quiche and Cold Tomato Soup!).

Chapel Sermon by Ephraim Radner on Feb 5, 2020 - Matthew 5:1-12

A conversation held at Timothy Eaton Memorial Church in Toronto with Faith Today's Karen Stiller and Wycliffe College's Ephraim Radner.

We were excited to see over fifty people came to watch The Adjustment Bureau with us, in preparation for the conversation with Ephraim Radner and Bruxy Cavey. About 120 people joined us in conversation with Steve Hewko, Ephraim and Bruxy, exploring questions such as Does God force or compel people's action? Is there a master plan that we do not see and if so, how do you answer hurting people when they are facing harm from others or are dealing with the death of a loved one? Does God change his mind based on our prayers? Does God have a perfect plan for each of us, one marriage partner, one career plan, etc? Congratulations to our four book winners.

Ephraim Radner is an episcopal priest and Professor of Historical Theology at Wycliffe College. He’s the author of books like The End of the Church: A Pneumatology of Christian Division in the West (Eerdmans, 1998), Brutal Unity: The Spiritual Politics of the Christian Church (Baylor University Press, 2012), Time and the Word: Figural Reading of the Christian Scriptures (Eerdmans, 2016), and A Time to Keep: Theology, Mortality, and the Shape of a Human Life (Baylor University Press, 2017).

It's the championship fight! Just kidding. It's just the opposite, in fact—an exhortation to the warm embrace of both Testaments by Christians and how they mutually illuminate one another. In this episode we look at all the ways Christians have done the Old Testament wrong—and man, they are legion—en route to commending a more excellent way. We tackle outright rejection of the OT, artificially forcing the OT to say things Christians want it to say, and even piously keeping hands off out of respect for Jewish believers. But how to get it right? Have a listen! Notes 1. On gnosticism and docetism, see Dad’s book Divine Complexity, chapters 2 and 3. 2. Some of my reflections on the problems in the Christian relationship to the Old Testament are in this article “The Top Ten Reasons the Lectionary Sucks and Five Half-Assed Solutions” and in my review of Luther’s Jews by Thomas Kaufmann. 3.

In today's show we set aside the question of whether we can say the Scriptures are true, reliable, accurate, historically verifiable, false, fake, or toxic, to ask whether they are holy--whether they are in themselves, and whether (and how) they make us holy. Reframing the question this way avoids many of the pitfalls of the past centuries and opens up new possibilities for theological reasoning.  Show Notes:  1. The texts we discuss vis-à-vis their being-holy and making-holy qualities are Joshua 8:1–29, Nehemiah 7:7bff, and Mark 9:1. We also refer to Romans 1 and I Timothy 3:16. 2. Yes! Paul Hinlicky (i.e. Dad) has a forthcoming commentary on Joshua in the Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible series. Personal favorites of mine are Ephraim Radner on Leviticus, Robert Jenson on Ezekiel, and Joseph Mangina on Revelation. 3. Walter Brueggemann's book is Theology of the Old Testament. 4. Karl Barth's essay is "The Strange New World within the Bible." 5. The texts of Luther's mentioned in this episode are the Large Catechism (Apostles' Creed, Article III, §40) and "The Freedom of a Christian" (sometimes known in English as "Concerning Christian Liberty"). 6. Heiko Oberman's take on Scripture and tradition can be found in The Dawn of the Reformation. 7. Paul Hinlicky's book on God's nature and revelation in light of the gospel is Divine Complexity. 8. You can read about half of Origen's homilies on Joshua on Google Books. 9. Here is the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification.

Passage: Ezekiel 5 Sermon by Professor Ephraim Radner on Thursday, Jan 31, 2019 in Founders' Chapel, Wycliffe College, Toronto. This sermon is part of the Wycliffe Faculty Sermon series on the Book of Ezekiel. For more information, visit: www.wycliffecollege.ca/ezekiel

Listing "faith" among the fruit of the Spirit has often confused people: isn't faith the foundation of everything else? How could it simply stand alongside things like "generosity" and "self-control"? This sermon explores how "faith" and "faithfulness" are related as a basic orientation to the world and our lives before God. Passage: Gal. 5: 22-23 Sermon by Ephraim Radner on Thursday, Nov 15th, 2018 in Founders' Chapel, Wycliffe College, Toronto. This sermon is part of "The Visible Shape of Christ's Life in Us" Wycliffe Faculty Sermon series. For more information, visit: www.wycliffecollege.ca/shapeofchrist

https://www.wycliffecollege.ca/songsofscripture PREACHING ON THE SONGS OF SCRIPTURE BY THE WYCLIFFE FACULTY THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER, FOUNDER’S CHAPEL On Thursday mornings at Wycliffe it is customary for the faculty to preach in a series that goes through the term. Sometimes we preach on a given book of Scripture, like Jeremiah; sometimes it is on some key aspect of the Christian life, like vocation. This term, we will be preaching on the biblical “canticles”, that is, on those parts of Scripture we know to be songs: the Song of Moses at the Red Sea in Exodus 15, the so-called “Magnificat” or Song of Mary from Luke, and so on. Scripture is full of such songs, many of which are regular parts of worship services. Thus, Scripture not only describes the Israelite’s and early Christian church singing, on various instruments, it also contains portions which are song themselves. O Come, let us sing unto the Lord; let us heartily rejoice in the strength of our salvation! This opening verse of Psalm 95, is how we usually begin our Morning Prayer service every day – in Wycliffe Chapel. Why do we do it? The Rev. Dr. Ephraim Radner points out in the opening sermon in the series that our singing—and that of all creation-- is a response to God. Scripture describes God as singing. “The LORD thy God in the midst of thee [is] mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing” (Zeph.3;17). God sings first and in response creation sings. In this shared song is the story of salvation.
