Host Garrett Snedeker and JWI intern Isaac Michael speak with Prof. Andrew Walker of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary about his new book Faithful Reason: Natural Law Ethics for God's Glory and Our Good.

Welcome to episode twenty-six of New Creation Conversations. Today's conversation is a very special one for me because I am joined by Dr. Richard Mouw. Rich served for 20 years as president of Fuller Theological Seminary (from 1993-2013). Prior to that he served as Provost and Professor of Christian Philosophy and Ethics at the seminary and prior to that spent thirteen years at Calvin College as Professor of Christian Philosophy. Just recently, Dr. Mouw has returned to Calvin College as a senior research fellow at the Henry Institute for the Study of Religion and Politics and he has a book coming out in the next year on faith and patriotism.Rich is a well-known social philosopher and theological scholar. He has written more than 20 books, and perhaps best known for his writing on Christian civility and has courageously modeled in his own career and ministry the desire to cross significant cultural and religious boundaries to further conversation, connection, and understanding. The reason this conversation is so special for me is because of the significant role Dr. Mouw has played in my own development. It was Rich's teaching for me as a seminary student that lit a passion to explore academic theology and Christian philosophy. I had the privilege of serving as his research assistant for several years and having him as my PhD advisor. There has been no greater influence on my teaching and academic career that Dr. Mouw. We go into some challenging areas in this conversation. But what I think you will hear, if you are listening well, is a thoughtful and convicted follower of Jesus trying to identify with and have empathy for views that are very different from his own. What you will hear, in my opinion, is faith seeking understanding. I have deeply appreciated that quality in my friend and mentor and hope you will be blessed by it in this conversation as well. Here is my conversation with Dr. Richard Mouw.

When I got ready for this week's discussion, one thing kept poking at my mind: The Establishment Clause. I'm sure many of you remember it from your civics lessons."Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."And yet, my guest this week has made it his life's work to understand the relationship between the powers that be & the powers above. Dr. Richard Mouw is a political philosopher & theologian who has published over 20 books & whose work I have been fortunate enough to read in The Dallas Morning News. Dr. Mouw is currently a senior research fellow at the Henry Institute for the Study of Religion and Politics at Calvin College. He has been teaching on these subjects since 1968, so it's safe to say he holds a long-view of history.Even more astonishing, our conversation was recorded last December, prior the chaos we witnessed as a country at the beginning of the year. We discuss the role of Religion in our current political climate, the dire need for common ground & how to better go about the conversations that make ALL of us a little uncomfortable. Enjoy the show!

Fresh off the plane from Israel, John Stonestreet speaks with Andrew Walker about celebrity conversions—specifically, the conversion of Kanye West. How should we as Christians respond? Walker shares his observations—and that he's encouraged by what he's hearing so far from West about his approach to Scripture, his concern for his family, and his regret over the lifestyle he's promoted in the past. Andrew Walker, formerly of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, is now Associate Professor of Christian Ethics and Apologetics at the Southern Theological Seminary, as well as Associate Dean of Theology, and the Director of the Carl F.

In this episode, we chat with Dr. Kevin Den Dulk, the Paul Henry Chair in Christianity and Politics at Calvin College and Executive Director of the Henry Institute. We ask Dr. Den Dulk why religious freedom is all over the headlines these days, and why it should matter to everyday evangelicals -- including the religious freedom of Muslims and others that we disagree with in significant ways. As it turns out, our feelings about religious freedom for ourselves and others says a lot about us -- and Christ -- in today's cultural landscape.
Sly, funny, intelligent, and artfully structured, THE FORTUNES by Peter Ho Davies recasts American history through the lives of four Chinese Americans and reimagines the multigenerational novel through the fractures of immigrant family experience. Spinning fiction around fact, Davies uses stories—three inspired by real historical characters—to examine the process of becoming not only Chinese American, but American. Released just this fall, THE FORTUNES has garnered swift and widespread critical acclaim. Davies, who is also faculty in the University of Michigan’s Helen Zell Writers’ Program, will read from his novel and discuss the challenges of writing fiction inspired by real people and how his own experience of becoming American since immigrating 25 years ago informed the book. PETER HO DAVIES is the author of two novels, THE FORTUNES and THE WELSH GIRL (long-listed for the Man Booker Prize), and two short story collections, THE UGLIEST HOUSE IN THE WORLD (winner of the John Llewelyn Rhys Prize) and EQUAL LOVE (A New York Times Notable Book). His work has appeared in HARPERS, THE ATLANTIC, THE PARIS REVIEW, THE GUARDIAN, AND THE WASHINGTON POST among others, and has been widely anthologized, including selections for PRIZE STORIES: THE O. HENRY AWARDS and BEST AMERICAN SHORT STORIES. In 2003 GRANTA magazine named him among its Best of Young British Novelists. Davies is also a recipient of fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts, and is a winner of the PEN/Malamud Award. Born in Britain to Welsh and Chinese parents, he now makes his home in the US. He has taught at the University of Oregon and Emory University, and is currently on the faculty of the Helen Zell MFA Program in Creative Writing at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

In THE DEAD WRESTLER ELEGIES, up-and-coming poet W. Todd Kaneko mines the history of professional wrestling to examine complex relationships between fathers and sons and makes the wrestling ring an allegory of childhood, desire, and loss. All this as an Asian American and in spite of the racist melodramas that frequently play out in the personas of the wrestlers and between the athletes and audience. Kaneko will read from his book and discuss the racial dynamics of the sport, writing from and about Asian masculinity, and the literary properties of spandex. W. TODD KANEKO is not cool enough to be a rock star, not tall enough to be a professional wrestler and not virtuous enough to be a super hero. He is the author of THE DEAD WRESTLER ELEGIES (Curbside Splendor). His poems, essays and stories can be seen in BELLINGHAM REVIEW, LOS ANGELES REVIEW, BOXCAR POETRY REVIEW, BARRELHOUSE, THE COLLAGIST, [PANK], PAPER DARTS, MENACING HEDGE, BLACKBIRD, THE HUFFINGTON POST, SONG OF THE OWASHTANONG: GRAND RAPIDS POETRY IN THE 21ST CENTURY, 99 POEMS FOR THE 99 PERCENT and many other journals and anthologies. He holds degrees from Arizona State University and the University of Washington.
