A look at Kant, knowing God, and finding our identity The question ‘who are you?' has a whole set of assumptions behind it, and if we see identity as a key issue for our time now, then Immanuel Kant's influence provides some explanation for how we have gotten here.

He currently serves as Director of Spiritual Life at Christ School in North Carolina where he gets to live out his passions for education, faith, and community-building. Peter received his B.A. in Religious Studies & Classics from the University of Virginia and went on to receive master's degrees from the University of Cambridge and Princeton Theological Seminary.

For the past three years, we at the Center for Faith and Culture have been involved in a project on theological anthropology. What does that term mean, and what have we learned? Christopher Talbot joins us to discuss his work in this area — and what resources he'd recommend if we want to learn more. (The conversation starts at 9:40.) Plus, in “Headlines” (1:15), Meredith Cook talks about her new children's book on missions called, 'Go Tell Everyone: 9 Missionaries Who Shared the Good News.' And in “On My Bookshelf” (26:45), Christopher shares about his new book, 'Christians in Culture: Cultivating a Christian Worldview for All of Life.' - Visit our website: cfc.sebts.edu/ - Contact us: cfc.sebts.edu/about/contact-us/ - Support the work of the Center: cfc.sebts.edu/about/give/ All opinions and views expressed by guest speakers are solely their own.

Do you know what sex robots, racism, and gender identity all have in common? In addition to being topics that are discussed in this episode, these topics are all related to the subject of Theological (or Biblical) Anthropology. My guest in this episode is Michael Payne. Mike is the Worship Pastor at White Fields Community Church, and he is a graduate student at Western Seminary, where he is pursing a Masters in Theology. In this episode we talk about what Biblical Anthropology is and how it shapes the way we understand ourselves and others, as well as how our view of anthropology shapes the way we live and interact in the world.  Check out Michael's music on Spotify here.

The title of today's episode is The Theological Anthropology of Generosity, and while that's admittedly a lofty mouthful (which underscores the fact that Alli and I are both certified logophiles), the main point of today's conversation on Back Porch Theology is that God is the genesis of generosity. Quite frankly, as created beings, it's almost impossible to understand, much less extend, authentic compassion – to effectively give yourself away, which is the overarching thematic umbrella this year here at BPT – until we recognize that our Creator Redeemer is the original author and perfect model of generosity. The book of Genesis reveals that immediately upon breathing life into Adam and Eve, at the dawn of humanity, He gave them everything they needed. Unfortunately, soon afterward in that same Edenic paradise, a slithery intruder - who is the enemy of our soul also known as satan - planted an insidious seed of doubt in Eve that God was holding out on her and Adam. And humanity has been predisposed to doubt our Creator Redeemer's beneficence – the fact that He will provide everything we need for life and godliness – ever since. If your foundational security has ever been bullied by feelings of scarcity – if your peace has ever been compromised by the fear that you or those you love won't have enough of what you need, whether that be finances, food, attention, or affection – then today's conversation is bound to add some spiritual rebar to your emotional scaffolding. So please grab a cup of coffee and your Bible – unless you tried on one of those pythonish, body-slimming bathing suits and sprained your thumb trying to pull that puppy off, of course – and come hang out on the porch with us.

“I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike. Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will."  Matthew 11: 24,25    Submit a Podcast Listener Question HERE!   What is metaphysics and how does it relate to the child? How does Montessori's idea of the triangular relationship which is the child, the adult, the environment manifest this idea of metaphysics. How can we as adults create environments that allow the child to be more metaphysical?  “There is no being more metaphysical than the child.” Sofia RPC1  Donald (Donny) Wallenfang, OCDS, PhD is a Level III catechist, Secular Discalced Carmelite, and Professor of Theology and Philosophy at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit.

Instead it offers a glimpse into the religious life of the atrium, a specially prepared place for children to live out their silent request: “Help me come closer to God by myself.” Here we can see the child's spiritual capabilities and perhaps even find in our own souls the child long burdened with religious information. This book serves as a companion to the second volume, The Religious Potential of the Child 6 to 12 Years Old. The desire to have this essential text available in audio has been a long-held goal for many. The work of many hands has combined to bring this release to life as an audiobook.    Find out more about CGS:       Learn more about the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd at www.cgsusa.org     Follow us on Social Media-  Facebook at “The United States Association of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd”  Instagram-  cgsusa  Twitter- @cgsusa  Pinterest- Natl Assoc of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd USA  YouTube- catechesisofthegoodshepherd

In this episode, we discuss a topic that April wrote a 15 page paper about over her spring term: what is the human being fully alive, in light of God/the Divine? We explore what it means to be humans made in the image of God, what it means to bring the fullness of ourselves to God and one another and live authentically, and how the sharing of our stories and our diversity celebrated in community can lead to collective human flourishing and liberation (and April gushes a little about Jesus). We also discuss the specific gifts of neurodivergent and queer people that can contribute to human flourishing, and bring up the works of April's many conversation partners, which are listed below.

Today we're going to talk about Watchman Nee, a Chinese church leader and Christian teacher who worked in China during the 20th century and whose impact is still being felt there today in the rapidly expanding Christian church. Nee was a Chinese Christian who wrote about the normal Christian life, which he believed involved four steps: knowledge of the cross of Christ, reckoning, presenting to God, and walking after the Spirit.RESOURCESThirdmill: https://thirdmill.org/magazine/article.asp/link/hue_mountfort%5ECH.Mountfort.watchman.nee.bio.html/at/Watchman%20Nee%20%281903-1972%29:%20A%20Biographical%20StudyChristianity Today: https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/1975/may-9/footnotes-sharper-focus-on-watchman-nee.htmlResearchGate: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/297301999_The_Theological_Anthropology_of_Watchman_Nee_In_the_Context_of_Taoist_TraditionReformed Perspectives: http://reformedperspectives.org/articles/hue_mountfort/CH.Mountfort.watchman.nee.bio.html.Dwell Community Church: https://dwellcc.org/learning/essays/watchman-nee-and-house-church-movement-china

In this episode of the Elliott Hulse Podcast, Uncle Yo welcomes Christopher West, a Catholic theologian and musician dedicated to popularizing Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body. Chris believes that this teaching has led to a new sexual revolution, and he shares how it changed the direction of his life when he discovered it at the age of 24. Now, he travels the world to spread the message of the Theology of the Body.The discussion centers on pornography and how it represents a profane form of sexuality. Even within marriage, sex can be misused and misunderstood, leading to feelings of guilt and shame. Many people struggle to reconcile their sexual desires with their religious beliefs. The Theology of the Body offers a way to rediscover sexual redemption by unifying the physical and spiritual aspects of sexuality.In this episode:The Impact of Contraception on Gender Confusion and Society.Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body and Its Impact.

The T&T Clark Handbook of Theological Anthropology (T&T Clark, 2020) is a ground-breaking volume that gathers together the voices of veteran theologians and some of the most promising emerging scholars publishing in the field of theological anthropology today. The contributing essays outline the various approaches (classical, modern, postmodern) that Christian theologians have taken to present and interpret the doctrines of creation, the human person as imago dei, sin, grace, and the final destiny of humans and other creatures. In presenting theological anthropology, the editors have striven for ecumenical balance (Protestant, Roman Catholic and Orthodox), inclusion of previously neglected voices (women, African American, Asian, Latino/a and LGBTQ), revisiting authors from the “Great Tradition” (early church, medieval, modern); as well those with theological perspectives that are critical and liberationist (feminist, theological, decolonial, intersectional, critical race theory, queer performance theory, etc).

Join Callie in her conversation with Dr. Jason Whitt, senior lecturer in Medical Humanities and the Honors College at Baylor University, and Dr. Abby Fahnestock, pediatric resident at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, as they discuss these questions, the ways our culture has attempted to answer them, and the implications therein.

Welcome to Season 2 of the Theology & podcast. This season we're exploring the question "What does it mean to be a human being?" In this episode, Jeff and Emily introduce the question and the field of theological anthropology. We also discuss some of our favorite episodes that you'll hear in the coming season, so get ready for some great conversations ahead!

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Clifford Humphrey on how Christians have misunderstood Mere Christianity. We discuss how most people misread and have misapplied C.S. Lewis's aim in his book Mere Christianity. We dive into theological anthropology and implications for Christian formation and spirituality. We close discussing baptist political theology. Bio from Troy University - “Dr. Humphrey, originally from Warm Springs, Georgia, earned a bachelor's degree in psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University. Following graduation, he spent a few years learning the trade of woodworking in New York City and did a bit of world traveling before attending the Van Andel Graduate School of Statesmanship at Hillsdale College.After earning his PhD, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Catholic University of America and most recently helped launch Thales College in Raleigh, North Carolina.”Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavis“Get a Room!

He regularly teaches across a range of topics, including modules on Systematic Theology, Mariology, Mystical Theology, Theological Anthropology, Christian Ethics, Ecclesiology, and Eastern Christianity  

One of the biggest questions of our day is: what does it mean to be human? While this question may not seem that important at first glance, once we see how it informs basic assumptions about morality, gender, sexuality, and technology we see how it shapes our world. In this episode I deal with both the Imago Dei as a theological category and human composition. We explore the implications for these categories in the areas of abortion, transgenderism, and virtual church. Join Full Proof Theology Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavis?fan_landing=true
