    In this episode we speak to William Dalrymple. The Scottish historian is the author of 10 books, a regular contributor to The Guardian and The New Yorker, and host of the popular podcast Empire. A specialist in Indian and Islamic history, Dalrymple first visited the subcontinent as an 18 year old, and knew that it was where he wanted to spend his life. These days he spends most of the year at his farmhouse on the outskirts of Delhi, but he’s heading to Australia for a speaking tour this month. Dalrymple’s works often explore the intersections of history, culture, and religion - basically managing to make history sexy - which he does for India in his latest deep dive book, The Golden Road. He talks to us today about everything from the indigenous people of Palestine, to why truth-telling about history is critical, and how a podcast about Australian history might be next, in a wide-ranging chat with senior writer for culture at The Age, Kerrie O’Brien.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Paul talks about some definite things that have brought these twogroups together who usually were at odds with one another. In the first versesof this chapter Paul is addressing both the Jews and the Gentiles. Paul tells bothJews and Gentiles that God has made alive those who were dead in trespasses andsins. Remember that a Gentile is anyone who is not born of Jewish descent. Paulreminds them and us how before salvation in Christ we are all dead in ourtrespasses and sins because sin works against us. We're disobedient. We'redepraved, and we're doomed, and we are children of wrath. But God, but God whois rich in His mercy with a great love that He's loved us. And with that loveHe has now brought us salvation and reconciliation and redemption by His graceand through our faith in Christ (vv. 4-9). God has a plan for our life and weare His workmanship, land He has before ordained before the foundation of theworld that we should walk in these wonderful works of God, the good works thatonly He can do through us and let the light of Christ shine out of us andthrough us to a dark world. Nowwe come to verse 11. Here Paul is particularly addressing theGentiles, those who are not of Jewish descent. First, He reminds them, you'recalled uncircumcision by what is called the circumcision (the Jews) made in theflesh by the hand. The Jews look down upon the Gentiles, calling them the uncircumcision.The Gentiles were like dogs in many cases for most of the Jewish people.  Inverse 12 Paul points out that the Gentiles were without Christ being aliensfrom the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenant of promisehaving no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you whowere once a far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. The one wordthat best describes the Gentiles is without. They were “outside” in severalrespects. They were without Christ. They're without citizenship in the nationof Israel without the covenants. The covenants were given to Abraham and to hisseed.  BothJews and Gentiles were without hope. Historians tell us that a great cloud ofhopelessness covered the ancient world. Philosophies were empty; traditionswere disappearing; religions were powerless to help men face either life ordeath. People longed to pierce the veil and get some message of hope from theother side, but there was none (1 Thes. 4:13-18). Theywere without God. The heathen had gods aplenty, as Paul discovered in Athens(Acts 17:16-23). But the pagan, no matter how religious or moral he might have been,did not know the true God. The writer of Psalm 115 contrasted the true God withthe idols of the heathen. Itis worth noting that the spiritual plight of the Gentiles was caused not by Godbut by their own willful sin. Paul said the Gentiles knew the true God butdeliberately refused to honor Him (Rom. 1:18-23). Religious history is not arecord of man starting with many gods (idolatry) and gradually discovering theone true God. Rather, it is the sad story of man knowing the truth about Godand deliberately turning away from it! It is a story of devolution, notevolution! The first eleven chapters of Genesis give the story of the declineof the Gentiles; and from Genesis 12 on (the call of Abraham), it is the storyof the Jews. God separated the Jews from the Gentiles that He might be able tosave the Gentiles also. "Salvation is of the Jews" (John 4:22). Godcalled the Jews, beginning with Abraham, that through them He might revealHimself as the one true God. With the Jews He deposited His Word, and throughthe Jews He gave the world the Savior (Rom. 9:1-5). Israel was to be a light tothe Gentiles that they too might be saved. But sad to say, Israel became likethe Gentiles, and the light burned but dimly. This fact is a warning to thechurch today. When the church is least like the world, it does the most for theworld.

    Länsimaat ovat maailmanhistoriassa melkoinen menestystarina, paino sanalla 'tarina'. Ei ole mitään syytä kiistää tai väheksyä länsimaiden keksintöjä ja arvoja: demokratiaa, oikeutta, tiedettä jne. Kannattaa kuitenkin kiinnittää huomio siihen, että niissä ei ole mitään itsestään selvää. Voittokertomus koostuu hyvin erilaisista oloista. Länsimaiden toistaiseksi jatkuneen menestyksen voi sijoittaa 1700-luvulle, jollolin nämä instituutiot alkoivat vakiintua. Historian prof. Jukka Korpela käy läpi aikaa ennen kuin tämä tilanne vakiintui, siis länsimaisuutta arkaaisilta ajoilta aina 1700-luvun kynnykselle.

    With the recent tragic death of Christian and political activist Charlie Kirk, it is more essential than ever for us as Christians to move forward in civil dialogue with those who are not Christians about what it means to be human. From Ancient Greece and Rome to our culture today, it is clear that a lack of understanding of who God really inevitably results in not properly understanding who we are as human beings. This week we continue our conversation with historian, author, and mother Nadya Williams about what we can learn from history about the sanctity and value of human life and be encouraged to hold fast to our confession of faith, for a world that needs real hope. Nadya Williams (from the publisher website): Nadya Williams (PhD, Princeton) walked away from academia after fifteen years as a professor of history and classics.

    Thank you for the generous support we received during our recent pledge drive. It keeps us going. Jaws of Justice Radio investigates how we can achieve justice from a system of laws deeply rooted in economic, social and political inequality.  We want to dispel misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system. We hope you will listen. Tune in to hear a recording from the August 19th Solidarity School of Resistance, Immigration 101 presented by Judy Ancel of The Cross Border Network for Justice and Solidarity Cross Border Network, Claire Murphy Shaw of The Asylum Clinic and Karla Juarez of Advocates for Immigrant Rights and Reconciliation (AIRR). The U.S. immigration system is complex and can be difficult to understand. Immigration in the United States is complex and ever-evolving. Explore layered topics like how and whether immigrants can become citizens and what individual protections look like under the law. The Cross Border Network for Justice and Solidarity is a grassroots organization based in Kansas City which recognizes the common interests of working people in the world and ​builds ties for common action among them. https://www.crossbordernetwork.org/ Luchando por los trabajadores entre fronteras! La Red Transfronteriza para la Justicia y la Solidaridad es una organización de base con sede en Kansas City, que reconoce los intereses comunes de los trabajadores en el mundo y construye vínculos de acción común entre ellos.   The Asylum Clinic promotes justice through the delivery of accessible legal services and support that empower underserved immigrants and refugees in The Heartland. https://www.asylumclinickc.org/ Advocates for Immigrant Rights and Reconciliation (AIRR) recognizes and is working tirelessly to keep families together and end the humanitarian crisis our immigrant community is facing on the belief that all people, no matter where they were born, deserve a chance at a safe and dignified life. AIRR is committed to empower and uplift the voices of the immigrant community and provide them with the tools they need to better protect themselves and their families. https://airrkc.org/ Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has recorded its deadliest year since the early 2000s as agency officials push to increase the number of people in its custody. At least 20 people have died in ICE custody so far this year. ICE is also holding nearly 60,000 people in immigration detention, the highest number in several years. Historians note that public opinion on accepting refugees and immigrants has not always been in line with the narrative of open arms. We find it difficult to live up to the promises made in those stories. Nevertheless, a story in which people are killed while in the care of the state points to a complete breakdown of the legal system. This reflects a real-world moral failure of the prison system, where authorities have a responsibility to protect those in their custody. On Jaws of Justice, we examine how to find justice in our society.  Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are. https://kkfi.org/listen/

arrived in Roma, and with it, a light breeze made the leaves dance in the crowded alleys.It: Al centro della città, un vivace bar espresso accoglieva clienti da ogni dove.En: In the center of the city, a lively espresso bar welcomed customers from everywhere.It: Le pareti color terracotta del bar erano ornate di opere d'arte che cambiavano ogni mese, grazie alla passione di Marcella, la

in città e lavorava come barista.En: Alessandro had recently moved to the city and worked as a barista.It: Quel mattino, mentre il profumo del caffè appena macinato riempiva l'aria, notò che la pittura più pregiata, una vera rarità appesa proprio sulla parete di fronte alla macchina del caffè, non c'era più.En: That morning, as the aroma of freshly ground coffee filled the air, he noticed that the most precious painting, a true rarity hanging right on the wall opposite the coffee machine, was no longer there.It: Gianna, una cliente di lunga data e storica dell'arte, era lì sorseggiando il suo cappuccino quando Alessandro le raccontò l'accaduto.En: Gianna, a longtime customer and art historian, was there sipping her cappuccino when Alessandro told her what had happened.It: Lei si guardò intorno, scrutando ogni cliente con il suo occhio attento.En: She looked around, scrutinizing every customer with her keen eye.It: "Alessandro, con così tanta gente che viene e va, potrebbe essere chiunque", disse Gianna, mescolando lentamente il suo caffè.En: "Alessandro, with so many people coming and going, it could be anyone," said Gianna, slowly stirring her coffee.It: Alessandro decise di agire.En: Alessandro decided to take action.It: Doveva dimostrare a Marcella e a se stesso che poteva gestire la situazione.En: He needed to prove to Marcella and to himself that he could handle the situation.It: Chiese aiuto a Gianna, e insieme iniziarono a osservare con attenzione gli avventori abituali del bar.En: He asked for Gianna's help, and together they began to closely observe regular patrons of the bar.It: Sapevano che dovevano essere discreti.En: They knew they needed to be discreet.It: Dopo vari giorni, sospettavano di un cliente regolare, un uomo silenzioso che spesso stava seduto in un angolo, sempre con un libro d'arte tra le mani.En: After several days, they suspected a regular customer, a quiet man who often sat in a corner, always with an art book in his hands.It: Alessandro e Gianna decisero di affrontarlo.En: Alessandro and Gianna decided to confront him.It: "Ciao, posso sedermi un momento?"En: "Hello, can I sit for a moment?"It: chiese

delle opere che solitamente Marcella esponeva.En: The man nodded, and Alessandro began talking about the works that Marcella usually displayed.It: Ad un certo punto, l'uomo fece un commento dettagliato sulla pittura scomparsa, menzionando una parte del dipinto che non era visibile a tutti.En: At one point, the man made a detailed comment about the missing painting, mentioning a part of it that wasn't visible to everyone.It: "Come fai a sapere questo?"En: "How do you know this?"It: chiese Gianna, il suo tono stringente.En: asked Gianna, her tone pointed.It: Il silenzio cadde su di loro.En: Silence fell over them.It: L'uomo balbettò, cercando scuse, ma era troppo tardi.En: The man stammered, trying to make excuses, but it was too late.It: Le sue parole lo avevano tradito.En: His words had betrayed him.It: Con l'evidenza raccolta, riuscirono a recuperare la pittura.En: With the evidence collected, they managed to recover the painting.It: Marcella era incredula e felicissima di ritrovare il tesoro perduto.En: Marcella was incredulous and overjoyed to recover the lost treasure.It: Ringraziò Alessandro e Gianna con tutto il cuore.En: She thanked Alessandro and Gianna wholeheartedly.It: Da quel giorno, il bar non era solo un luogo di caffè e arte, ma anche di chiacchiere su come un giovane barista e una storica dell'arte avevano risolto il mistero.En: From that day on, the bar was not only a place for coffee and art but also for chatter about how a young barista and an art historian had solved the mystery.It: Alessandro era ora più sicuro di sé, apprezzato e parte della comunità.En: Alessandro was now more confident, appreciated, and part of the community.It: Aveva imparato l'importanza di ascoltare il suo istinto e collaborare con gli altri.En: He had learned the importance of trusting his instincts and collaborating with others.It: E così, mentre le foglie continuavano a danzare fuori dalla finestra del bar, la vita in quel angolo di Roma riprese il suo corso, vivace e accogliente.En: And so, while the leaves continued to dance outside the bar's window, life in that corner of Roma resumed its course, lively and welcoming.

    October 11, 2025Strength to Strength welcomed Dean Taylor for a conversation on the Radical Reformation—that fascinating yet often misunderstood period that followed the medieval and magisterial reformations.Historians have sometimes described it as “the left wing of the Reformation,” suggesting that its participants, especially the Anabaptists, were radicals who discarded all tradition in pursuit of spiritual purity.But that's not quite right. The irony of the so-called “Radical Reformation” is that its most enduring voices from the Anabaptists were precisely those who refused to throw everything away. Admittedly, there was great diversity among the movements of the sixteenth century—among Catholics, Magisterial Reformers, and Anabaptists alike. Yet those who survived and continued—whose faith communities we still recognize today—did so because they preserved what was ancient, true, and enduring.Now that said, the early Anabaptists did indeed call for a radical return to the early church. Their reform was not a revolution of rejection but a restoration of essence—a re-centering of Christian life upon Christ Himself. In an age of upheaval, they offered something desperately needed: a return to the simplicity of apostolic faith, a community shaped by obedience and love rather than by coercion or power.Dean will conclude that this balance—a kind of catholic spirit in the best sense of the word, coupled with genuine solidarity with the Anabaptist witness—is essential if we are to represent a faithful, enduring testimony in our own century.An interactive question-and-answer period follows.https://strengthtostrength.org/sacred-roots-the-radical-reformation-a-model-for-our-time/

Not to make light of the situation, but it has been for about 250 years. When you think about the moment we're in: the tragic assination of Charlie Kirk, the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel, the cancellation of Stephen Colbert and contributors like you across the country, what does this mean for the freedom of speech and what can we do to protect it?

    Mothers and children were devalued in ancient Greco-Roman society. The advent of  Christianity, however, introduced a radically different perspective - that every human being at every level of society has value and worth because we are all made in the image of God, the Imago Dei. What can we learn from the early Christians about valuing human life and what it means to live as a Christian in the world but not of it? We talk with historian, author, and mother Nadya Williams about these and other issues pertaining to the value and worth of human beings both in ancient societies and in our own.
