Podcasts about i iv

Für mich ist der Keto Lifestyle weitaus mehr als mich nur ketogen zu ernähren. Für mich ist es ein Lifestyle, der mir hilft den Stoffwechselprozess der Ketose mir zu Nutzen zu machen. Ein Gesunder Lifestyle beinhaltet alle Punkte von I - IV, allerdings erlebe ich zunehmend mehr Menschen, die durch Punkt V, den Ketonen, mit dem Step by Step Ansatz super die anderen Punkte auch in ihr Leben integrieren. Überlege dir in welchem der Punkte bist du echt gut und wo hättest du Nachholbedarf? Viele unserer Follower beginnen mit Punkt I auch und nachdem der Stoffwechsel an die Fette adaptiert ist und der Körper Ketone produziert, fangen sie mit Sport an. Es gibt kein besser oder schlechter. Es gibt nur einfacher und entspannter oder etwas schwieriger. Wenn du ganz am Anfang stehst, empfehle ich dir nur nicht auf einmal mit allem zu beginnen. Jede Umstellung bedeutet erst einmal auch Stress für den Körper und auch Willenskraft. Willenskraft ist nicht wirklich begrenzt, aber sie kann aufgebaut und gestärkt werden. Stress, schlechter Schlaf, zu viel auf einmal schwächt sie. Viel Spaß beim Zuhören!

Before it was one of North Carolina’s most desired destinations, the setting of Nicholas Sparks’ “Safe Haven” or a quaint fishing village, Southport was supposed to be the first line of defense for the Cape Fear. The land that would become the Brunswick County getaway was originally designated as Fort Johnston in the 1740s, intended to protect the growing ports of Brunswick Town and Wilmington from Britain’s enemies.But the fort’s mighty vision never came to be. In this episode, we look at how, from that unrealized dream, a town blossomed around the remains of the fort after the Revolutionary War and grew into a popular respite for Wilmington’s residents. Over time and through at least three major wars, the community flourished into the town of Smithville, later renamed Southport in 1887 to try and court business and railroad attention flocking to Wilmington – all while remain a linchpin in the region. Joining the episode is Pat Kirkman, a 24-year member of the Southport Historical Society. Cape Fear Unearthed is written, edited and hosted by Hunter Ingram. Additional editing by Adam Fish. The show is sponsored by Northchase Family Dentistry, Tidewater Heating & Air Conditioning, and Cape Fear Pharmacy.

La solemnidad de hoy nos recuerda que, en la fragmentación de la vida, el Señor sale a nuestro encuentro con una fragilidad amorosa que es la Eucaristía. En el Pan de vida, el Señor nos visita haciéndose alimento humilde que sana con amor nuestra memoria, enferma de frenesí. Porque la Eucaristía es el memorial del amor de Dios. Ahí «se celebra el memorial de su pasión» (Solemnidad del Santísimo Cuerpo y Sangre de Cristo, Antífona al Magníficat de las II Vísperas), del amor de Dios por nosotros, que es nuestra fuerza, el apoyo para nuestro caminar. Por eso, nos hace tanto bien el memorial eucarístico: no es una memoria abstracta, fría o conceptual, sino la memoria viva y consoladora del amor de Dios. En la Eucaristía está todo el sabor de las palabras y de los gestos de Jesús, el gusto de su Pascua, la fragancia de su Espíritu. Recibiéndola, se imprime en nuestro corazón la certeza de ser amados por él. Y mientras digo esto, pienso de modo particular en vosotros, niños y niñas, que hace poco habéis recibido la Primera Comunión y que estáis aquí presentes en gran número. Así la Eucaristía forma en nosotros una memoria agradecida, porque nos reconocemos hijos amados y saciados por el Padre; una memoria libre, porque el amor de Jesús, su perdón, sana las heridas del pasado y nos mitiga el recuerdo de las injusticias sufridas e infligidas; una memoria paciente, porque en medio de la adversidad sabemos que el Espíritu de Jesús permanece en nosotros. La Eucaristía nos anima: incluso en el camino más accidentado no estamos solos, el Señor no se olvida de nosotros y cada vez que vamos a él nos conforta con amor. La Eucaristía nos recuerda además que no somos individuos, sino un cuerpo. Como el pueblo en el desierto recogía el maná caído del cielo y lo compartía en familia (cf. Ex 16), así Jesús, Pan del cielo, nos convoca para recibirlo juntos y compartirlo entre nosotros. La Eucaristía no es un sacramento «para mí», es el sacramento de muchos que forman un solo cuerpo. Nos lo ha recordado san Pablo: «Porque el pan es uno, nosotros, siendo muchos, formamos un solo cuerpo, pues todos comemos del mismo pan» (1 Co 10,17). La Eucaristía es el sacramento de la unidad. Quien la recibe se convierte necesariamente en artífice de unidad, porque nace en él, en su «ADN espiritual», la construcción de la unidad. Que este Pan de unidad nos sane de la ambición de estar por encima de los demás, de la voracidad de acaparar para sí mismo, de fomentar discordias y diseminar críticas; que suscite la alegría de amarnos sin rivalidad, envidias y chismorreos calumniadores. Y ahora, viviendo la Eucaristía, adoremos y agradezcamos al Señor por este don supremo: memoria viva de su amor, que hace de nosotros un solo cuerpo y nos conduce a la unidad.

In yet-another Apocalypse Edition, we invited Eric Mabry (Christ the King Seminary) back, along with friend-of-the-show Jakob Rinderknecht (University of the Incarnate Word)and Gene Schlesinger (Santa Clara University) to go over the question of "spiritual communion" from an ecclesiological, rather than metaphysical angle this time. Plus, we talk about books about being trapped to enjoy while being trapped by a pandemic. We have a Patreon!

In yet-another Apocalypse Edition of Systematically, we invited Eric Mabry back and welcomed Joe Mudd for the first time to talk to us about the much-abused notion of "spiritual communion" that has come to the fore in response to the cessation of public masses. Joe and Eric diagnose what they see as the two extreme positions being taken on the question, and then walk us through the details of what spiritual communion means in the theology of St. Thomas Aquinas. We also give some consideration to the reality of televised/digitally streamed masses. Frivolity-wise, we consider the merits of various legumes. We have a Patreon!

In this Apocalypse edition of Systematically, Robyn and Jon have two very special guests: their moms! Brenda Boeré is a physician and Patti Heaps is a nurse and they've both worked in palliative care for years. After giving them both a chance to share embarrassing stories about their children, we asked them a number of questions about what kind of medical decisions families may face if a loved one is hospitalized with COVID-19. Robyn also provides some perspectives from the Christian tradition on the ethics of medical care in the face of death and dying. At the end, we discuss ways in which listeners can initiate hard conversations with their family members about their end-of-life wishes. The book Patti recommended is *The Art of Dying Well: a Practical Guide to a Good End of Life* by Katy Butler and the resource for discussing end of life wishes that she referred to (but misremembered the name of) was The Conversation Project and it can be found at https://theconversationproject.org/ We have a Patreon!

In this episode I dive into applying substitute II-V progressions over specific harmonic scenarios that allow for a super cool descending chromatic result. I'm using a few classic Brazilian tunes to highlight these drills and some other songs to also apply small sets of the same concept. Enjoy!

In our continuing apocalypse series, Anne Carpenter (St. Mary's College of California) joins Jon to discuss Hans Urs von Balthasar's Theo-Drama IV: The Action and especially the opening sections on the book of Revelation. But first we talk a bit about the new challenge of teaching online in the age of COVID-19. Then Anne gives us an outline of Balthasar's life and the "trilogy" in which his central project consists. Then she explains where Theo-Drama in general and Vol. 4 specifically fit into the scheme of that project. From there, we talk about how the victory of God in Christ initiates the existential conflict at the heart of theo-dramatics. We draw on Blondel and Ricoeur to help try to unpack the character of this conflict and struggle and how it relates the fate of humanism in the 20th century. We have a Patreon!

In a timely episode (and the first of a series!), Eric Vanden Eykel (Ferrum College) joins Jon to talk about apocalyptic literature as a genre of biblical literature, digging into some of the concerns, goals, and rhetorical strategies that characterize it.

This one was recorded a while ago, but it never made it up. We thought we'd share it with you now in these trying times. For your Social Distancing enjoyment: Robyn and Ryan host our dear friend Eric Mabry to talk Christology. But first they consider the improbable topic of "best views from a toilet" and Eric's Texas accent makes an appearance. Then they get down to the business at hand. First, Robyn gives an account of common arguments found in the theology of disability and claims that Christ, even God are disabled. Then she pivots from that general context to Richard Cross's applying some of these ideas to the metaphysics of Christology, describing the human nature of Christ as a "prosthesis" of God. This prospect, however, leads Cross towards open theism. Robyn asks if these kinds of theological questions can be answered without losing hold of conciliar affirmations in Christology. Eric walks us through the basics of conciliar Christology, but levels a criticism at some of those claiming to have one. Robyn wonders whether the metaphysics of the patristic context can move between contexts and Ryan underlines how important it is remember that metaphysics are, in the first place, meanings. Eric then drags us back to the metaphysical meanings at hand: cause, effect, nature, etc. We have a Patreon!

The literary club var en samling av framstående intellektuella män i 1700-talets London med Samuel Johnson i spetsen. Gabriella Håkansson reflekterar över denna klubb och över kvinnorna utanför den. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Året är 1773 och i ett separat rum på värdshuset The Turks Head Inn i London, har tolv män samlats för att dricka sprit och diskutera politik. Det har de gjort varje fredag i nio års tid, och det ska de komma att göra varje fredag så länge de lever. I centrum för gruppen står skriftställaren Samuel Johnson, som har publicerat en Ordlista över engelska språket och en utgåva av Shakespeares samlade verk. Gruppen kallar sig för The Literary Club, eller bara The Club. Klubben. För att bli medlem måste man enhälligt bli invald och besitta stora kunskaper i något viktigt ämne. Kanske var Johnson inspirerad av de franska upplysningsfilosoferna när han satte samman sin klubb, de som menade att sanningen om världen endast gick att få när all kunskap var samlad, så att man kunde se de stora sammanhangen. Runt sig samlade Johnson de främsta inom varje konstart där fanns skådespelaren David Garrick, konstnären Joshua Reynolds, filosofen Edmund Burke, nationalekonomen Adam Smith, historikern Edward Gibbon, vetenskapsmannen Joseph Banks - och inte minst författaren James Boswell. Med tiden skulle det bli många, många fler, och det har sagts att det aldrig i historisk tid har samlats så många genier runt ett och samma bord Att vi känner till Klubben så i detalj har vi främst James Boswell att tacka för. Den unge Boswell dyrkade Johnson som en gud och gjorde till sin livsuppgift att skriva hans biografi. Medan Johnson ännu levde lade Boswell åratal på att samla in brev, manus och göra intervjuer med alla som haft med honom att göra. I sitt ikoniska flerbandsverk Johnsons liv återger han verkliga möten i dialogform, och ger ögonblicksbilder nedskrivna på plats. Boken betraktas som ett unikt tidsdokument, och lägger hela grunden för Johnsons framtida berömmelse. Den kommer också att bilda skola i hur litterära män ska förhålla sig till varandra. Den yngre som vill göra karriär skriver en hyllande biografi över den äldre. Eftersom Boswell knappt nämner några kvinnor i sin bok så kan man tro att hela det sena 1700-talets litterära elit, precis som Klubben, var enkönad. Men ny forskning visar att det faktiskt var precis tvärtom. Skriftställeriet var nästan det enda yrke som stod öppet för överklassens kvinnor, som formligen vällde in och kom att dominera både som författare, översättare och dramatiker. Vissa siffror pekar på att så många som sjuttiofem procent av alla romaner skrevs av kvinnor, ja, att det överhuvudtaget inte går att förstå romanens framväxt utan ett kvinnoperspektiv. Kvinnor köpte och läste så mycket böcker att bokmarknaden faktiskt formades efter dem och deras smak - en smak som i sin tur färgades av alla de frihetsinskränkningar som kvinnor hade börjat utsättas för. Andra halvan av 1700-talet var en epok när synen på könen förändrades drastiskt. Innan hade feminina och maskulina egenskaper fått ta plats hos båda könen men ju mer man närmade sig 1800-talet, desto mer skulle män vara män, och kvinnor, kvinnor. De flesta yrken var som sagt stängda för kvinnor, och det var också universiteten, kyrkan och hela statsapparaten, och efterhand som de här konstruerade könsskillnaderna växte fram så blev det inte längre naturligt för välbeställda kvinnor att vistas i det offentliga rummet. Att promenera i staden var opassande, att gå på kaffehus helt otänkbart. Men även att tala med hög röst ansågs nu okvinnligt, liksom att kritisera en man eller publikt visa vrede. Femininiteten tog sig uttryck i passivitet och undergivenhet, medan maskuliniteten manifestades genom aktivitet och framåtanda mäns romaner skildrade stadens framväxt och de stora samhällsfrågorna, medan kvinnor skrev om det lilla livet och allt som hände i den sociala sfären. I den här kontexten förstår man hur otänkbart det var att kvinnor skulle kunna delta i de högljudda diskussionerna på Klubben. Det förklarar ändå inte varför Boswell och andra författare så sällan nämner de kvinnor som faktiskt dominerade den litterära sfären i London. Träffades de aldrig? Jo, de gjorde de. Varje torsdag gick Samuel Johnson till Hester Thrale som i sitt hem drev en slags skuggklubb till den litterära fredagsklubben, en salong där den kvinnliga intelligentsian dominerade. Där var Elisabet Montagu och Fanny Burney och alla de andra kvinnliga författarna och översättarna som utgjorde kulturlivet i London, och som ofta också arbetade politiskt inom antislaverirörelsen eller för kvinnors rätt till högre utbildning. På grund av sina alkoholproblem blev Boswell sällan inbjuden till Hester och han var omvittnat avundsjuk på att idolen Johnson föredrog sina kvinnliga författarvänner framför honom. Men att Boswell inte nämner några kvinnor i sina böcker behöver inte grunda sig i hans avundsjuka och misogyni. Kvinnor tilläts ju inte verka i det offentliga och kunde inte skriva om de ämnen som gav tyngd i den kritiska debatten. Därför kom de heller inte riktigt att räknas. Som i ett retuscherat fotografi så framträder bara männen i historieskrivningen från den här epoken. Det skulle dröja ända till 1950-talet innan man publicerade James Boswells privata dagbok, och insåg att han inte var en så pålitlig tidsskildrare som man hade trott. Dagboken blev en skandal inte minst för att Boswell så detaljerat skildrar sin sexualdrift. Vid ett tillfälle blir han så exalterad av att prata litteratur med Johnson på Klubben, att han måste rusa ut och köpa sex av en prostituerad stående. Vid andra tillfällen kunde han tvinga sig till sex eller våldta de prostituerade som ratade honom. När man dessutom räknade på hur många dagar Boswell träffat Johnson under deras tjugoåriga vänskap, inser man att de varken umgicks eller gillade varandra särskilt mycket. Deras beryktade vänskap var snarare en litterär konstruktion. Litteraturforskarna började också förstå att såväl Boswell som Johnson led av svår psykisk sjukdom, antagligen bipolaritet, och i Johnsons fall även Tourettes syndrom med tvångstankar. Båda försökte förtvivlat bekämpa sina sjukdomar med alla medel som stod till buds: de förde dagbok, drog upp stränga livsplaner, gick dygnslånga stadspromenader och odlade nära vänskap med andra män. Men det hjälpte inte, och faktum är att hela iden till Klubben uppstod för att rädda Johnson ur en livshotande depression. Klubblivet blev den ram som höll sjukdomen i schack, och det var inte bara för honom som det här umgänget fick livsavgörande betydelse. Snarare än att se det som en diskussionsklubb för Englands mest lärda män, kanske man ska se Klubben som ett homosocialt rum där kontinuiteten, lojaliteten och den starka vänskapen hjälpte till att lyfta en Adam Smith och David Garrick till berömmelse. Merparten av medlemmarna hörde ju till den nya medelklassen som varken kunde räkna med privilegier eller stipendier från krona och stat. De hade bara varandra, och det verkar som att de hjälptes åt genom att diskutera idéer, låna pengar till publicering och stötta i djupa livskriser. I ett modernt perspektiv skulle man kunna säga att myten om det manliga geniet och konstituerandet av en manlig kanon, i själva verket var frukten av en sorts terapi i en manlig självhjälpsgrupp. Idag har forskningen fullt sjå med att skriva tillbaka alla de kvinnor som retuscherades ur historien, och som alternativ till Boswells tillrättalagda och romantiserade skildring av Samuel Johnsons liv och verk, så anlitar man både Fanny Burneys och Hester Thrales dagböcker för att förstå vad som egentligen hände på, och runt, den berömda Klubben.

This week we return to the question of divine freedom and, with it, the question of divine rationality. But first we talk about Jon’s boring hobbies, Robyn’s preoccupation with after market truck modifications and a surprising part of the male anatomy, as well as Ryan’s disappointment with your favorite Jane Jacobs documentaries. Then, before we turn directly to the question of divine freedom, Jon rehashes the account of extrinsic predication and Robyn raises a question about how human agency changes us as agents. When we do turn to consider freedom, we first present a couple of common, alternative accounts of liberty, one “negative” and the other “positive,” but then Jon drops his hot take: rationality makes agency free. But now we’re really backed into a corner, because we have to ask: what’s rationality? Even worse, how can this attribution of rationality be applied to God, in whom there is no discursive reasoning? How do we find our way out of this pickle? Listen and see, but here’s a hint: you probably learned the answer in Sunday School. We also circle back to Robyn’s questions about ethics.

This week Ryan puts a question to us about divine freedom and Jon takes us into the weeds. But first, #NoTwitterRobyn wants to know which figures from the history of Western philosophy, theology, and literature would have been good at Twitter. Hegel: not so much. Luther: you better believe it! Then we turn to Lonergan’s retrieval of Thomas Aquinas’ appropriation and augmentation of Aristotle’s theory of agency/causality, explain Lonergan’s account of extrinsic predication, consider why the grammatical functions of predication might help at all with metaphysics, and how that metaphysics might be applied meaningfully to God. Then we *finally* turn to the question of divine freedom… mostly by considering answers that we’re pretty sure are wrong. For the right(?) answer, tune in to next week’s episode! We have a Patreon!

This week we are very excited to have our friend Anne Carpenter on the show! She wanted to talk about how tradition works and she brought a couple of turn of the 20th century French Catholic thinkers with her to help. After discoursing on our favorite video games, Anne told us a little bit about her book, Theo-Poetics: Hans Urs von Balthasar and the Risk of Art and Being (University of Notre Dame Press, 2015). She helped us look at how Balthasar deploys poetic repetition to make important metaphysical points about the relationship of creature to the Creator. We also chatted a bit about the distinction between poetry/art and theology itself. Then we pivoted to Anne’s more recent interest in tradition, in doctrinal development, and in the theology of history. We started with John Henry Newman and his account of development, but then turn to Maurice Blondel and Charles Péguy. Anne spells out how “tradition” is Blondel’s alternative to extrinsicism and historicism and we see his influence in the theology of Vatican II. Finally, Anne shares her related insights into Péguy’s account of time, history, and revolution. We have a Patreon!

This week we have a conversation we recorded over the summer with Jon’s old friend, John Brittingham of Greenville College. Before we dig into John’s work in phenomenology of religion and decolonial philosophy, we explore the deeper mysteries of children’s television programming. Why do the male characters in Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood refuse to wear pants? Does that squirrel in SpongeBob SquarePants need that bubble helmet or is it just an affectation? Is Paw Patrol an instrument of the patriarchy? Then we turn to John’s work on Incarnate Experience, dwelling at some length on the methodological questions raised by the “Theological Turn” in French phenomenology. John then walks us through his account of what he calls "incarnate experience," using categories from Levinas and Merleau-Ponty, among others. In the back stretch, we pivot to discussing John’s more recent research in decolonial thought and the line of questions about race, nationality, identity, family, and his students that brought him there.

Episode 34: On August 9, the USCCB published the results of a Pew Research survey that found that only 30% of Catholics believe in the Real Presence, a massive decline from 70% just a decade ago. When the USCCB published this survey on its Facebook page, they did something they've never done in the history of the Catholic Church in America. Tune in to find out what that is. Resources There are many, many books, DVDs and CDs available about the Eucharist. I've chosen only what I think are the best. And since I quoted Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen at the beginning of this episode, I intentionally included eight of nine audios/videos from him that have nothing to do with the Eucharist. Why? Well, give Archbishop Sheen a listen.

Are you and your staff prepared to handle ocular chemical injuries? Dr. Vincent DeLeo talks with Dr. Shawna K. Langley and Dr. Deborah Moon about common chemical agents used in the dermatology office that can be damaging to the eyes. Dr. Langley shares her experience with a patient who sustained a transient ocular injury following accidental exposure to aluminum chloride during a biopsy of a suspicious lesion on the cheek. Treatment protocols and prevention methods that dermatologists can implement to ensure the best outcome for patients also are discussed. We also bring you the latest in dermatology news and research: 1: Infections linked with transition to psoriatic arthritis 2: Social media use linked to acceptance of cosmetic surgery 3: Severity, itch improvements remain steady with ruxolitinib for atopic dermatitis   Things you will learn in this episode:  On average, approximately 7%-10% of all ocular traumas may be attributed to chemical burns. The two most important factors to consider when evaluating the extent of an ocular chemical injury include the properties of the chemical and the duration of exposure. Damage associated with exposure to acidic chemicals usually is limited to more superficial consequences, while exposure to alkaline chemicals can result in more serious long-term effects such as cataracts or glaucoma caused by deeper penetration of the eye structures. The most common immediate side effects of ocular chemical injuries include a sensation of burning (not necessarily immediate) or pain as well as redness or erythema of the eye and eventually vision changes. “One of the learning points to me was that if somebody complains that something has dripped in their eye, even if it doesn’t seem possible and it doesn’t really make sense, and if you had just worked with a caustic substance right before they said that, have them start flushing immediately anyway,” said Dr. Langley. The Roper-Hall classification outlines the prognosis based on grade of injury (grades I-IV). Immediate irrigation of the eye for 15-30 minutes is the most important variable, which will affect the patient’s long-term prognosis. “This is the one variable that will impact the long-term outcome the most for the patient,” said Dr. Langley. Always ask patients if they are wearing contact lenses, as chemicals trapped underneath can cause prolonged burning of the eye. Do not delay irrigation to remove contact lenses. Start irrigation immediately and remove the lenses when possible under irrigation. Emphasize urgent follow-up with an ophthalmologist following ocular chemical injuries sustained in the dermatology office. If an ophthalmologist is not immediately available, send the patient to the emergency department. Educate support staff about the potential for ocular injuries in the dermatology office and be prepared with the proper equipment to administer immediate treatment.   Hosts: Elizabeth Mechcatie; Terry Rudd; Vincent A. DeLeo, MD (Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles)   Guests: Shawna K. Langley, MD (Loma Linda [Calif.] University Medical Center; Deborah J.

This week we get Trinitarian. Robyn wants some help sorting out the Filioque question… systematically. But first, we discuss our favorite 3-in-1 products, Jon’s skincare routine, Ryan’s cultural philistinism, Robyn’s backcountry bathing habits, Winston Churchill’s early sense of what binds America and England in common cause, and the Stormy Kromer (Google it). Despite an apropos ghostly interruption, Robyn pivots us to her question (occasioned by differences of liturgical practice among her Anglican fellows): are there good systematic theological reasons to affirm, prefer, or reject the Filioque? Ryan distinguishes the historical, dogmatic, and systematic questions at play in and behind the topic. Ryan walks us through the last of these in some detail. Jon suggests the value of the Filioque for distinguishing the Son and the Spirit systematically. Ryan considers the question with some help from St. Augustine. Jon raises W. Norris Clarke’s question of a “positive perfection of receptivity” in the Son and Ryan responds by considering how begetting and giving might be thought differently. Finally, Ryan notes that none of this yet raises, let alone answers, the question about how there can be procession in a perfectly simple God, and leaves open the question whether the Filioque or per Filium might fit better with certain analogies.

In this episode, we conclude our review of Transylvania by Night. This is part two of our multi-part series on Transylvania and the Transylvania Chronicles. Next week, we will not publish an episode due to travel constraints. In two weeks, we start our review of the Transylvania Chronicles volumes I-IV. Transylvania by Night was published October, 1997 by White Wolf Publishing and written by Brian Campbell and Nicky Rea.

This week we have a very special guest! Old friend of the show, Joseph K. Gordon (Johnson University) is here to talk a bit about his new book from University of Notre Dame Press, *Divine Scripture in Human Understanding: A Systematic Theology of the Christian Bible.* During guest questions, we hear about Joe’s Jr. High propensity for pattern-mixing and his favorite Adam Sandler movie. Then we turn to the book and its ambitious aims. Joe walks us through the many important notions crammed into the book’s title that help give him some traction on the topic. We push Joe to explain more what he means when he calls the Bible “technology” and that for which it is “useful.” In order to explain that for which Scripture is useful, Joe pivots us to his main title and the relationship between the divine and the human. Among other things, he describes how scripture can teach us that God has intended us to be historical and what our historicity means. We wrap up by discussing how his work might affect the relationship between historical criticism, theological interpretations, and contextual interpretations of the Bible.

In this episode, Robyn has a question about moral development. How do biology and culture function to direct and/or constrain our development as moral persons from childhood into adulthood? Before getting into the meat of that question, we take a wild detour into the perverse world of Christian media, talking Touched By An Angel lighting decisions and the plausibility of God’s Not Dead plot points. But then we get into Robyn’s question, which she frames by discussing the debates about the status of “childhood.” Is it something that every human experiences as a biological reality, is it constructed as part of only some cultures, or somehow both? She links this question to the problem of childhood moral development specifically. Jon pitches a distinction between symmetrical and asymmetrical causality between biology and culture and Robyn explains Extended Evolutionary Synthesis as intellectual tools for thinking about the question. In an effort to get a handle on the applicability of these tools, Jon adverts to Lonergan’s notion of “abstractive viewpoints.” Ryan spells out how this notion lets us distinguish lines of inquiry into single classes of data, like the data on the human being. From here, Robyn points us back to our central question about the moral development of children. Jon suggests that culture has a big role to play in providing the objects of childhood decision making, and so offers Piaget’s notion of “adaptation” as an open, dynamic model for thinking about moral development. Ryan discusses the ways in which this process of adaptation will involve a messy, but progressive realization of freedom and moral subtlety. Robyn suggests an interesting alternative analogy from language development and it reminds Jon of some articles he read once. We conclude by spending a little time talking about how adolescents become an adults and how our culture might do a better job of shepherding that transition.

In this episode, Jon and Ryan discuss Lonergan’s 1968 essay, “The Absence of God in Modern Culture.” Ryan helps us contextualize the essay in the arc of Lonergan’s life and work. Then Jon turns to consider the essay itself, the distinction between society and culture, and the central place that Lonergan gives to modern science (both natural and human) in modern culture. We pause briefly to dunk on the New Atheists and other scientific expressions of omni-competence before turning to consider the difficulty of applying these new methods of inquiry to religion and to God. We look in some depth at Lonergan’s appraisal of the state of Catholic theology in his day and consider the parallels to our own. Then we discuss Lonergan’s (perhaps surprising) conclusion that what is needful in the face of modern Catholic theology’s challenges is a renewed focus on theological method and what he thought it had to do with the exigencies of Vatican II. We wrap up by considering the way in which his consideration of those challenges and exigencies point us towards the Christ and the Holy Spirit. Finally, Jon acknowledges the existence of a pop song.

Another podcast no one wants! In this week’s episode, after some talk about the sleep schedules of newborn infants, we return to some of Jon’s thoughts about the problem of the supernatural. We begin with Lonergan’s retrieval of Thomas Aquinas’s theory of action and in particular Thomas’s account of “extrinsic predication.” Then we consider how this account of action is applied to God and Robyn raises some questions about whether or not that works. Jon suggests that what Lonergan calls the “theorem of the supernatural” is at work both in the theology of grace, but also in an account of divine transcendence and God’s providence. Indeed, the theorem at work in the latter can be an analogue for the former in a speculative theology of grace. Jon then considers human freedom as one of the effects of God’s ad extra agency and the odd, deflationary implication of philosophically affirming the universal efficacy of God’s agency: God’s action doesn’t seem to make any difference. Robyn wonders what this means for miracles and Jon denies that “miracle” is a philosophical category. Then Jon spells out his account of the fundamental ambiguity that philosophical ontology faces using Sartre’s Being and Nothingness and Blondel’s Action (1893) as examples, turning back to consider human freedom in light of it. Does our freedom have a fundamental meaning/purpose or does it not? Then we turn to consider the products of human freedom: cultures and their inextricable place in posing the modern problem of the supernatural. TITLES REFERENCED: Blondel, Maurice.

In this week’s episode (which we recorded… a long time ago now), Ryan interviews Jon about his take on the problem of the supernatural in light of its Twitter-mediated contemporary relevance. To start out, Jon gives a quick-and-dirty review of the history of the problem of the supernatural, from the problem of merit and the necessity of grace to the Dei auxiliis controversy to the Surnaturel controversy to the present Anglophone controversy over the natural desire for God. Along the way, Jon gives some attention to the implied political questions at work in and behind the controversy. The major contention is that the political questions are assumed to be resolvable at the level of metaphysics. He thinks this is a mistake (“the problem with the problem of the supernatural is that it is, in fact, two problems and they’re irreducible to one another”). At Ryan’s prompting, Jon outlines what he thinks the two problems are: a medieval, metaphysical problem and a modern, hermeneutical one. TITLES REFERENCED: Bernardi, Peter J.

In today’s episode we welcome Dr. Glenn Butner from Sterling College to discuss his book, The Son Who Learned Obedience. After answering our guest questions, Glenn tells us about how he stumbled upon a debate about the putative subordination of the Son to the Father in the Trinity and began writing on the topic. He walks us through his approach to the controversy, why Arianism isn’t really the problem with Eternal Functional Subordination (EFS), and why monothelitism might be the much more serious problem. Glenn also uses Anselm’s atonement theory to indicate yet further problems with EFS. We get into how “function” in EFS connects with Evangelical complementarianism and then consider some of the moral and political implications of taking this Trinitarian theology as a model for gender relations. Robyn asks Glenn why penal substitutionary atonement figures so largely in his account of salvation. Ryan asks Glenn how his intervention has been received. Then Glenn gives us a précis of his book, The Son Who Learned Obedience. We also had *another* very special guest: India Rose Boeré, born on February 22nd. Congrats to Robin and Neil!

Today’s episode is a discussion of the relationship(s) between “natural rights” and the concrete specificities of human living. Our initial frivolity focuses on Robyn, Ryan, and Jon’s experiences of summer camp (Brian, for his part, has no such experiences), highlighting the specifics of Minnesotan lakes, camp songs, cowboy poetry, and vivid sense memories of cafeteria breakfasts. We then pivot into Lonergan’s 1977 lecture, “Natural Right and Historical Mindedness.” In this essay, Lonergan navigates the apparent tension between commitment to the idea of “natures” and the particularities of concrete location(s) and cultures(s). As Jon succinctly puts it, “If you’re going to say [human nature] transcends [these particulars], how?” Are natures unchanging? How does the assertion of metaphysics impact our account of variation in historicity? How can we be responsible in the ways we impact the unfolding of historical process? Lonergan offers his own answer to these questions, and the remainder of our chat explores how and why this is possible.

Today’s episode is a delightful chat with Grant Kaplan, Associate Professor of Theology at Saint Louis University. Grant is an expert in nineteenth-century German Catholic theology, fundamental theology, Modern philosophy and theology, and a whole lot of other fascinating topics. He is also the author of René Girard, Unlikely Apologist: Mimetic Theory and Fundamental Theology (Notre Dame, 2016). After an initial foray into Grant’s ill-advised fashion choices (a crop top was involved), cooking failures (high temps and cheese don’t mix), and favorite bar (The Columns Hotel in New Orleans), we talk about the people, places, texts, and ideas that helped shape Grant into the theologian he is today.

In today’s episode, we continue last’s week’s discussion of Lonergan’s “Mission and the Spirit.” After a quick request for our wonderful listeners to send us Treasures Old & New, we pick up our previous analysis of finality, which Lonergan understands as a relation to an end. This quick review leads us into the essay’s fourth section (“The Human Subject”), which examines the exigences driving the operations of our consciousness’ unfolding. Because human life is marred by bias, sin, and decline, Lonergan also stresses that our self-transcendence and vertical finality require the healing and elevation that can only come from God’s saving action in history. This soteriological necessity serves as the subject of the essay’s final section, which treats the missions of the Son and Spirit. TITLES REFERENCED IN MAIN SEGMENT Augustine. On the Trinity.

In today’s episode, we begin with a very amusing conversation about recurring dreams. This conversation quickly reveals that we don’t really know how math works (although we do learn that Jon likes “trashy, voluptuous equation[s]”)! We also learn that Robyn’s stockpile of recurring dreams is fascinating and intrepid. Jon’s King Lear dream, on the other hand, gets him yelled at by Orson Welles! After this most interesting introduction, we pivot into a discussion of Lonergan’s 1976 essay, “Mission and the Spirit.” First, we set the scene for by unpacking finality and its place in metaphysics and epistemology. This leads to a discussion of how incredibly complex and mid-blowing the universe is, as higher, sublative processes integrate and order lower schemes of recurrence (which gets even more interesting when we bring human agency into the picture). Even more fascinatingly, finality extends beyond even proportionate being, as all things have a relationship of absolute finality to God. Come back next week for an overview of how Lonergan relates this framework to trinitarian theology and soteriology.

In today’s episode, we give low-temp takes on Fahrenheit vs. Celsius, and high-temp takes on meaning! After blowing Robyn’s mind by demystifying DMs, unpacking the truly disturbing original version the “Baby Shark” song, and choosing our animal sidekicks (editor’s note: Brian’s would be a mischievous but loyal cartoon wolf named Wolfram), we continue our deep dive into some of Lonergan’s lesser-known writings. This week’s discussion is focused on Lonergan’s 1965 lecture, “Dimensions of Meaning,” which appears in Volume 4 of The Collected Works of Bernard Lonergan. True to its title, “Dimensions of Meaning” is a discussion of meaning, but—true to form—Lonergan means something very specific by “meaning.” What is the relationship of language and meaning? How does the mediation of meaning shape social and cultural development? How does meaning serve a constitutive function? Do we make meanings? Where do the natural sciences fit? These and similar questions are what drive today’s discussion. TITLE NAMED IN MAIN SEGMENT Jaspers, Karl. The Origin and Goal of History. Abingon: Routledge, 2016.

We’re back! As we begin the new year, we’re also starting a new season of Systematically, and we’re glad you’re with us. Although Brian and Robyn are absent (due to Christmastime traveling and sickness, respectively), Ryan and Jon ring in 2019 by discussing their children’s uncanny ability to both catch and spread seasonal illnesses, inhibiting dissertation progress along the way. This segues into a spirited conversation about Lonergan’s 1974 essay, “The Dialectic of Authority,” which appears in Volume 16 of The Collected Works of Bernard Lonergan. That essay focuses on the complex tension between power and the exercise of legitimate power (i.e., authority), especially as this tension impacts a community’s development of shared meanings and values. This tension’s historical unfolding manifests itself in widespread progress or decline. If contemporary headlines are any indication, Lonergan’s thoughts on the topic are still quite timely in 2019.

Today’s episode is a one-on-one conversation between Jon and Robyn, developing our conversation from Episode 04 (“The One Introducing Theology of Children”) by exploring the specifics of childhood decision-making. Does it happen? Is it important? How can adults more effectively foster integral meaning-making and existential authenticity in childhood development? Before this discussion, however, we address the differences between Canadian Thanksgiving and American Thanksgiving, debate the problematics of putting up Christmas decorations during Advent, and analyze the inclusion of Advent wreaths in liturgy. Robyn then gives an overview of contemporary bioethical debates regarding childhood decisions, especially as her own work contests a number of the field’s unexamined assumptions. Robyn wraps up the discussion by sharing her rather morbid Treasure New, and soliciting your feedback about corresponding Treasures Old, then we say goodbye.

Today’s episode is a one-on-one discussion between Jon and Ryan, laying the groundwork for clarifying what precisely we, the hosts of a podcast called “Systematically,” understand systematic theology to be. The chat begins with a brief overview of the Heaps and Hemmer couples’ joint vacation on Marco Island, where they reflected upon the divergences between Hot Fuzz and Paul Blart: Mall Cop, the speed of Aaron Sorkin’s dialogue, and the apparent malaise of Floridean retirees. This pivots into a nuanced examination of the relationship(s) between systematic theology, dogmatic theology, historical consciousness, and philosophy. The conversation then culminates in a discussion of whether or not speculative theology can make any meaningful contribution to our contemporary pluralist cultural contexts. Ryan wraps up the discussion by sharing his Treasures Old & New, and then we say goodbye. TITLES NAMED IN MAIN SEGMENT Aristotle. The Basic Works of Aristotle. Edited by Richard McKeon.

Today’s episode is a thought-provoking conversation between Ryan and Paul Axton, one of the founders of Forging Ploughshares, a communal initiative striving to cultivate the Peaceable Kingdom through ministry in biblical study, community outreach, media productions, and international outreach. After a brief conversation about racquetball, Dr. Axton gives us an overview of his book, The Psychotheology of Sin and Salvation, which T&T Clark just released in paperback and Kindle Edition. The conversation pivots into a nuanced, wide-ranging exploration of the interconnections and mutually illuminating convergences and divergences between biblical theology, psychoanalytic theory, various theories of atonement, and the paschal mystery. Paul then gives us an introduction to how Forging Ploughshares is helping to establish a community ordered toward overcoming the deception of sin. Lastly, Paul shares his Treasures Old & New, and then we say goodbye.

Today’s episode is a lovely chat with our very interesting and talented friends Erin Kidd, Assistant Professor of Theology and Religious Studies at St. John’s University (Queens, NY), and Jakob Karl Rinderknecht, Assistant Professor of Religious Studies and Director of the Pastoral Institute at University of the Incarnate Word (San Antonio, TX). After a lively discussion of Erin’s most recent culinary catastrophes and the wild/wonderful Riverwest neighborhood of Milwaukee, we learn about Erin and Jakob’s new edited volume: Putting God on the Map: Theology and Conceptual Mapping (Fortress Press, 2018). The volume is an interdisciplinary work in theology and cognitive science, and our conversation covers the basics of cognitive linguistics and conceptual mapping. We also introduce the wide-ranging implications of their intersections and applications in theological discourse. Jon shares his Treasures Old & New, and then we say goodbye.

Today’s episode is a lovely chat with our very talented friend Jakob Karl Rinderknecht, Assistant Professor of Religious Studies and Director of the Pastoral Institute at University of the Incarnate Word (San Antonio, TX). First, we ask Jakob a series of our go-to Introductory Questions. These questions lead to impromptu introductions to monastic tonsure, as well as the weird and wonderful Milwaukee watering hole known as The Palm. Next, Jakob gives us a primer on the complex history of the relationships between the local and universal church, the episcopacy and the papacy, and ecclesial authority and local governments. The conversation culminates in a nuanced and accessible introduction to synods, the relationship(s) of synods and councils, and the consequences of various positions on synodality in contemporary Catholic theology. Jakob also shares his Treasures Old and New, and then we say goodbye. Exciting reminder: We are now on iTunes!

This episode proves that even when Robyn’s away, Jon, Ryan, and Brian will still be nerds (and argue about the Mars Volta and At the Drive-In!). First, we catch up on our recent pop culture consumption, as well as Ryan and Jon’s responses to toddler-initiated accidents. After a brief discussion of films about Formula 1 racing, Ryan gives us an overview of how René Girard’s mimetic theory relates to Lonergan’s scale of values. We then unpack Ryan’s observations by discussing how friendship, affectivity, politics, and grace complicate and illuminate Girard’s writings. Brian shares his Treasures Old and New, and then we say goodbye. Exciting reminder: We are now on iTunes!

This episode explores the intersections of Trinitarian theology, psychology, epistemology, and embodiment. After we spend a few glorious moments pondering the potential advantages and dangers of providing alcohol to athletes, Ryan gives us a brief introduction to Thomas’ psychological analogy and its importance to systematic theology. This frames our discussion of how meaning is experienced by embodied, self-present, knowing subjects. The givenness of such experience is central to Jon’s 2016 article, “Insight is a Body-Feeling: Experiencing our Understanding,” and we spend the majority of our episode exploring the implications of Jon’s arguments in this essay. Ryan shares his Treasures Old and New, and then we say goodbye. Exciting reminder: We are now on iTunes!

Guilt! Sin! Cheesy TV Movies! This episode has something for everyone. First, we share our pop culture “guilty pleasures,” exploring Brian and Jon’s questionable musical choices (past and present!), Ryan’s Star Wars fandom, and the guiltiest of all pleasures: Hallmark Christmas Movies. The ensuing chaos segues fittingly into shared reflections on the surds of sin, evil, and decline. We discuss the connections and divergences between medieval terminology, contemporary relational anthropologies, and our own linguistic baggage, and then work toward a framework for analyzing sin on the level of our time. Robyn shares her Treasures Old and New, and then we say goodbye. Exciting reminder: We are on iTunes!

This episode finds us safely returned from our trip to Milwaukee, and excited to talk about theology and philosophy! After Robyn gives us a mind-blowing introduction to obscure British comedy albums, we dive into a discussion of the fact/value distinction. Is there a meaningful difference between “is” and “ought”? Do judgments of fact ever occur independent of moral connotations? Did Hobbes have gastrointestinal problems? We explore answers to these and other exciting questions.

This episode is recorded on location at Lonergan on the Edge Graduate Student Conference, an annual event featuring presentations drawing from, related to, or adjacent to Lonergan studies. Gathering around the coffee table in Robyn’s hotel suite, we are joined by our friend Chanelle, who presented this year’s M. Shawn Copeland Presentation in Contextual Theology. After Chanelle answers a number of our go-to Introductory Questions, she gives us a brief overview of her excellent presentation, “Embodiment, Bias, and Memory: The Theological Task of Remembering Indigenous Women in Canada and Unsettling the Virgin Mary.” Chanelle reflects on how Copeland’s methodology might provide the theological grammar necessary for discussing missing and murdered indigenous women (MMIW), and briefly explores how Bernard Lonergan’s understanding of bias might unmask the inaction and apathy of both the federal government and the Roman Catholic Church in Canada. Finally, through sustained reflection on the intersectional identity of the Virgin Mary, she proposes that Mary and her posture of memory might frame how the Roman Catholic Church responds to and supports communities impacted by MMIW.

In today’s episode, we begin by discussing our most memorable cooking failures, asking a proverbial chicken/egg question: “Does Robyn have no memories of her cooking failures because her culinary record is perfect, or is Robyn’s culinary record perfect because her memory has selectively deleted her cooking failures?” Regardless of where you stand on this issue, we doubt you’ll disagree that her area of research is fascinating. This research is focused on the theology of children, which is the topic of today’s main segment. Robyn walks us through contemporary debates about children’s humanity, dignity, agency, etc., pointing out how much work remains to be done within this burgeoning field. Robyn then gives us an introduction to her own work in developing a nuanced, holistic, and honest account of children and their decision-making, especially as this relates to theological anthropology and ethics.

In today’s episode, we begin by sharing our favorite movie quotes, referencing a true statistical anomaly: a movie where (spoiler alert!) Sean Bean does not die. The discussion then pivots to Lonergan’s distinction between classical and statistical intelligibilities, especially as it is employed in a forthcoming article co-authored by Jon and Neil Ormerod. Jon gives us a teaser of this article, explaining how the complementarity of classical and statistical investigations might provide a helpful foundation for exploring the word “normal” and its implications for a metaphysical analysis of gender, sexual identity, cultural meaning, and ethics. We then discuss the necessity of distinguishing the respective aims and operations of dogmatic and systematic theology, highlighting the unique and important role speculative theology plays in navigating theological reflection. Ryan shares his Treasures Old and New, and then we say goodbye. Brian is off defending his dissertation in Toronto (second spoiler alert: he passes!), but he will be back soon. Thanks for listening.

In this episode, we preview our first guest-introduction question and Jon tells a truly embarrassing story about having a rat-tail as a grown man. Then we dive into a discussion of how to think about the relationship between clergy and lay people, the institution and the community, and between the present and the eschatological realizations of the Church. Brian leads us off with reference to Joe Komonchak's lecture, *Who Are The Church*, before Ryan takes us on a tour of Robert Doran's *Theology and the Dialectics of History* to help us introduce some more general notions of how communities develop, sustain themselves, and sometimes break down. Towards the end, we consider how to make sense of the special status of the Church vis-a-vis its mission in history and how to think about instances where the Church seems corrupted by the very thing it is meant to address in society at large. Robyn shares her Treasures Old and New and then we say goodbye! Thanks for listening.

One of the more intriguing - and most Lacanian - slogans that appeared in Paris in May 1968 declared 'Il est interdit d'interdire' - 'It is forbidden to forbid'. In this follow-up to our recent Resonance 104.4fm show about the insurrections, Juliet Jacques talks to curator/writer Paul Clinton about his 'Forbidden to Forbid' exhibition, how May '68 launched a decade of queer radicalism, the tensions within its gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender elements, and its eventual collapse amidst the HIV/AIDS crisis and the decline of the wider French left.

Die 4. und vermutlich letzte Kanzlerinnenschaft von Angela Merkel hat begonnen. Wie hat Angela Merkel Deutschland die letzten 12 Jahre geprägt und wie die Digitalisierung die Kanzlerschaft? Ist auch Merkel dafür mitverantwortlich, dass sich Rechtspopulismus ausbreiten konnte und eine Generation in Südeuropa den Glauben an Europa verloren hat? Was ist das politische Erbe der Kanzlerin, die Deutschland und Europa durch ständig neue Krisen geführt hat? Das erfahrt ihr in dieser Folge.

September 5th marked the 102 anniversary of the birth of the American avant-garde composer, artist, and writer, John Cage. The man, who said, “I have nothing to say, I am saying it, and that is poetry,” received much acclaim for his poetic works, including a Guggenheim Fellowship, and an appointment as the Charles Elliot Norton Professor of Poetry at Harvard University for the 1988’-89’ academic year.  His lectures have been published by Harvard University Press under the title I-IV. One afternoon in March, 1992, at the same time the artist had a visual exhibition up at the Museum of Contemporary Art, he performed a reading at The Poetry Center of The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.  From that appearance, originally recorded by WFMT for broadcast on WFMT, we will hear John Cage reading his 1991 work titled “Overpopulation and Art.”

This exercise will help you to hear II - V progressions. I will play two II - V progressions consecutively and you need to distinguish the interval between them. For example if I give you Dmi7 - G7 - Ebmi7 - Ab7 then the answer would be a half step up because the second II - V progression is a half step up from the first. These different types of progressions are common in jazz music and if you are able to distinguish between them you will have a better understanding of the music and will hopefully allow you to eventually learn jazz tunes by ear.

Professor Saltzman uses cancer diagnosis and treatment as an example to demonstrate the some applications of biomedical engineering technologies and methods. Some issues involved in cancer treatment, such as tumor angiogenesis, radiation sensitivity, drug localization, and cancer stem cells are mentioned. Next, he describes the phases (I-IV), in compliance to guidelines enforced by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which a new drug compound must go through to gain approval prior to public distribution/sale. Finally, Professor Saltzman draws attention to the areas that biomedical engineers may contribute to, to improve this process.

Objective: To develop evidence based recommendations for the management of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) as a combined effort of the `ASsessment in AS' international working group and the European League Against Rheumatism.Methods: Each of the 22 participants was asked to contribute up to 15 propositions describing key clinical aspects of AS management. A Delphi process was used to select 10 final propositions. A systematic literature search was then performed to obtain scientific evidence for each proposition. Outcome data for efficacy, adverse effects, and cost effectiveness were abstracted. The effect size, relative risk, number needed to treat, and incremental cost effectiveness ratio were calculated. On the basis of the search results, 10 major recommendations for the management of AS were constructed. The strength of recommendation was assessed based on the strength of the literature evidence, risk-benefit trade-off, and clinical expertise.Results: The final recommendations considered the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (conventional NSAIDs, coxibs, and co-prescription of gastroprotective agents), disease modifying antirheumatic drugs, treatments with biological agents, simple analgesics, local and systemic steroids, non-pharmacological treatment (including education, exercise, and physiotherapy), and surgical interventions. Three general recommendations were also included. Research evidence (categories I--IV) supported 11 interventions in the treatment of AS. Strength of recommendation varied, depending on the category of evidence and expert opinion.Conclusion: Ten key recommendations for the treatment of AS were developed and assessed using a combination of research based evidence and expert consensus. Regular updating will be carried out to keep abreast of new developments in the management of AS.
