Today, on Karl and Crew, we started Holy Week by discussing how Christ cleansed the temple with Dr. Jim Coakley. Dr. Coakley is a professor at Moody Bible Institute in the Bible and Theology Department and an elder at the church, 180 Chicago. He has also authored several books, including "14 Fresh Ways to Enjoy the Bible.” We also turned to Mark 11 to see Jesus’s actions when clearing the temple and applied it to how we should clear ourselves of distractions and unclean things. As we walk with the Lord, we can’t allow just anything to enter our temples or fill our spirits because it can negatively affect our walk with Him. We also discussed how Resurrection Day can be considered a “Holy Reset.” Then, Pastor Karl answered some listener questions.

Recorded December 11, 2024. As humanitarian crises play out across our devices and screens, our latest ‘Behind the Headlines' panel will explore the changing mandate for humanitarianism. Bringing together world experts, including our academic partners at Boston College, we ask: what is a humanitarian mission, and how has it evolved in view of past and current global conflicts, climate catastrophe, or the shifting terms of refugee and migrant rights? And, what is the role and reach of the university in responding to the challenge of restoring social trust in humanitarian initiatives? Speakers and topics: Religious humanitarianism during the World Wars Patrick J. Houlihan, Assistant Professor of Twentieth-Century European History, TCD, will look to the past and at the legacies of faith-based humanitarianism during the World Wars, 1914-1945, to provide a lens through which to view modern global humanitarianism. The moral crisis of equality law Shreya Atrey, Associate Professor in International Human Rights Law, University of Oxford and Visiting Fellow at the Trinity Long Room Hub will ask why human rights lawyers can't seem to address rising global inequality. Social Trust and the University James F. Keenan, S.J., Vice Provost for Global Engagement & Canisius Professor, Theology Department, Boston College. Erik Owens, Director, International Studies Program; Professor of the Practice, Theology Department, Boston College. In the face of criticisms that American universities, once key structures instilling social trust, are now too elite, Keenan and Owens will argue that the university has an obligation to restore social trust, in part by ensuring that its research and teaching cross disciplinary boundaries in the service to the world's pressing problems. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza Carlo Aldrovandi, Assistant Professor in Religions, Conflict and Peace Studies, TCD, will argue that humanitarian discourses and practices are being instrumentalised to facilitate the functional reoccupation of the Gaza Strip and the permanent displacement of its population.

"If you don't know what you're talking about, you won't be able to convince anyone to take you seriously, no matter how pious you seem or how good your works are. If people can see that you lack understanding, they won't listen," asserts David Paul Deavel, an Associate Professor of Theology at the University of St. Thomas-Houston. Prof. Deavel is a prolific and widely published writer. In addition to his book Solzhenitsyn and American Culture: The Russian Soul in the West, his academic work has appeared in journals such as Chesterton Review, Chicago Studies, and Faith and Reason. In his new article, which he discusses with Deacon Geoff, "Theology is Not Trivial Pursuit," Deavel argues that "Simply knowing doctrines is not the same as living them. Even believing them to be true isn't enough. 'You believe that God is one,' St. James writes in his Epistle; 'you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder' (James 2:19). But knowing that 'God is one' is not a mere obscure factoid for a trivia game." Deavel was recently named Chair of the Theology Department. He assumes this leadership role at a time when the department is pioneering a new curriculum for its M.A. program in Historical Theology and continues its collaboration with St. Mary's Seminary to form priests, deacons, and laypeople equipped to serve Christ and His Church with both head and heart.

How does prayer help us integrate our experiences of God with our efforts to understand God? How can we think and talk about prayer in a way that captures its rich diversity? How does contemplating God help us resist the constrictions the world puts on us? And how can thinking prayer help us bring others before God?In today's show we will be talking to Professor Andrew Prevot. Andrew is Associate Professor in the Theology Department at Boston College. He has written extensively on the relationship between prayer and theology, and his new book on mysticism and the ordinary life is appearing in Spring 2023.
This week, Abby was not able to join us for recording, and while we definitely missed her, we were grateful to have a good friend from the Theology Department join us, Dr. Gayle Doornbos, Associate Professor of Theology at Dordt University. Gayle teaches a course entitled “Teaching the Bible,” and knowing this, we invited her to join us for a conversation about teaching the Bible as an academic subject. As Matt and Dave both have had their own (mis)adventures in teaching Bible classes, we thought Gayle's insight and experience would be worth sharing with our listeners, as we have learned a lot from her! Our conversation today covers a lot of ground–we discuss many parts of the joys and challenges of teaching Bible, from helping students develop a theological imagination, to the understanding the difference between knowing the facts of Bible stories with knowing the Big Story of Scripture, to the question of what should be included in the curriculum of biblical studies, to moralism in teaching the Bible, to whether “anyone can teach Bible” vs. whether we should have specially-trained Bible teachers in Christian schools. Gayle encourages us to think about studying the Bible as not just an academic exercise, but also as a formative experience for shaping students' faith life–even though that is challenge! We hope that Gayle's wise words will be an encouragement to anyone called to teach Bible in a Christian school setting.
Mr. Kevin Oliver, Theology Department
Do you, or maybe a friend of yours, enjoy cultivating beauty within your home? Maybe you're not much of a decorator but you can certainly appreciate a beautiful space such as a home altar, well-decorated prayer corner, or just a cozy living room. On a broader scale, there's nothing like stepping into a historic church (such as the Cathedral) and being struck by the beauty of the architecture, the soaring ceilings, and the detailed artwork. The Catholic Church has a long and complex history with sacred art and beauty in general: beautiful artwork, music, scripture, and vestments are all ways to engage the faithful and also to draw in people who've never even experienced Catholicism. Dr. Mark McInroy of the University of St. Thomas' Theology Department has a special interest in theological aesthetics and will be joining us today to discuss this all-encompassing idea of theology of beauty: what it is, and what it isn't.
How do you heal from trauma—whether individual, familial, or collective? Can Christian spirituality help? The tumultuous time we find ourselves in serves up regular doses of the suffering and pain of others—war wages destruction, migrants are left to die of heat exposure, hate crimes based in bigotry and fear of ethnicity or orientation or identity leave us all feeling numbed to our humanity; and with the aid of our phones, we even risk a dependency relationship with that trauma. It's constantly leveraged for political gain, power, money, or ugly fame. If we see the game of human culture as a zero-sum struggle for power, someone's political gain is always another's loss. Someone's joy another's sorrow.How are we supposed to find our human siblings? Add to this the unspoken trauma that haunts so many of us—myself, you listeners, that person in your life who seems strong and impervious to harm—we all carry our lifetime's worth of trauma even if we act like it's not there. But as Bessel Vander Kolk's best selling title captures so well, even when your conscious mind does that surreptitious work to ignore, deny, suppress, or forget trauma—"the body knows the score." But perhaps so too the spirit knows the score.Today, Bo Karen Lee joins Ryan McAnnally-Linz for a conversation on trauma and Ignatian spirituality. Bo is Associate Professor of Spiritual Theology and Christian Formation at Princeton Theological Seminary, and has written and taught contemplative theology, prayer, and the connection between spirituality and social justice.This conversation is a beautiful and sensitive—and sometimes quite raw—exploration of trauma and the human experience. But the clarity and courage reflected in Bo's presentation of how trauma threatens the human mind and body is matched by a powerful empathy and peace, as she reflects on moving through a spiritual journey from victim or bystander of trauma to a beloved, seen, known, and loved by God and other deeply caring helpers. The discussion that follows offers a concise introduction to the Ignatian spiritual tradition, as well as a holistic comment on how trauma at the individual, genetic, family, and national level can be acknowledged, addressed, and acted on.This episode was made possible in part by the generous support of the Tyndale House Foundation.

So many students have been blessed by this movement of God here on our Native Soil.Dig In Further:Have you ever felt called to do something, but shied away from it because of financial considerations or other fears? How might the Lord be calling you to Trust Him more?Do you feel like you are just floating along in your faith? Going through the motions to some degree? Ask the Lord to take you deeper as the Lord did with Joe through the intercession of Our Lady of Fatima.How do you look at the children and grandchildren in your life? At times, do they seem burdensome? How might the Lord be calling you to be more generous with regards to this most precious gift among us?

Professor Brian Robinette shares his story about the time he quit his “dream job” in advertising to become a janitor at a church after a massive quarter-life crisis. This is the story of the best mess he ever made. This episode is a live recording from 2018. Brian Robinette is currently a professor in the Theology Department at Boston College. “To actually take on this kind of crisis can feel like it’s going to destroy or unravel everything that you’ve been working towards all along and here’s what I have to say to you: Let it. Let that happen. Is to not be so focused on some sort of goal that you think that you have, or other people have of you, that you can’t take sufficient time to allow yourself to be deeply confused -to not really know what you’re doing and to really not know what you’re doing. To have a crisis more fully is what I’m suggesting, to have a more complete crisis where you lean into it. You’re not generating crisis or unnecessary drama in your life – you’re actually leaning in and allowing the confusion to be some sort of potential source of wisdom for you…” – Prof. Brian Robinette CONNECT WITH AGAPE LATTE: Follow on Youtube Follow on Instagram Follow on Facebook Follow on Twitter Email us at agapelatte@bc.edu

We're reading Genesis chapters 4-5 and if you've never read it before or if its been a while, take a few minutes before listening to this and open up your Bible and read along. If you're not sure what translation to use, use the one that you have! And if you don't have a Bible on hand, use one online! You can find plenty of free Bibles at places like biblegateway.com. I'll be using the Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition but feel free to use any version you prefer. Today, we'll be looking at the fateful story of Cain and Abel and we'll take a closer look at the Genealogies that stem from both Cain and Seth. We'll discuss why the Biblical author takes the time to record such genealogies and what we can take from them today.

Preaching for the Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Anne Koester offers a reflection on finding and sparking joy: "We should find joy simply in sharing the Good News of salvation in Jesus Christ and in building up the reign of God by loving others – as in everyone – not a select few, not just the ones we like or could benefit us, not just the ones whom we think are like us – but loving everyone. The people who make us uncomfortable, those whom we don’t personally know, those who are very different from ourselves, those who need our listening hearts and who likely will not give us some advantage. But here we will find deep and ever-lasting joy." Anne Koester is with Georgetown University, Washington, DC, where she has been an adjunct instructor with the Theology Department since 2003. She also oversees the RCIA process and is co-facilitator of the “Women Who Stayed” initiative at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in DC. A former trial lawyer, Anne studied theology, with a concentration in liturgy, at St. John’s University in Collegeville, Minnesota. She has worked at the Notre Dame Center for Pastoral Liturgy and the Georgetown Center for Liturgy. From 2004-2007, Anne served on the U.S. Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Women in the Church and Society. She is a member of the North American Academy of Liturgy and its Christian Initiation Seminar group.

Today’s Church is in great need of reimagining the nature of theological education; a reassessment of its purpose, not as merely the pursuit of a degree, but as education in the classical sense of formation. This view of education, measured by our understanding of the questions we should be asking rather than our grasp of what the answers are, will invariably influence the role that classic texts of the Christian Tradition have in the context of that educational formation. Our interest in Lombard’s Sentences, therefore, goes well beyond the content and context of that work as an important and formative publication. Rather, it touches deeply on a matter of great overarching importance for Greystone and the Church in our day. That is, the nature and goal of a properly understood theological education. In particular, how might Lombard’s famous Sentences help us in the pursuit of reimagining theological education?To discuss this and more, Dr. Mark A. Garcia, President and Fellow in Scripture and Theology at Greystone Theological Institute, sits down with Dr. Atria Larson, Greystone's Academic Dean, Vice President for Academic Affairs, and Fellow in Medieval Church History and Canon Law. Dr. Larson is Associate Professor of Medieval Christianity in the Theology Department at Saint Louis University, and winner of the 2015 Manfred Lautenschlaeger Award for Theological Promise from the University of Heidelberg, and author of many studies in penitential theory and canon law, including Master of Penance: Gratian and the Development of Penitential Thought and Law in the Twelfth Century (Washington DC: CUA Press, 2014).Dr. Larson’s directed reading course module on Lombard’s Sentences will be available this fall for credit, and her multiple lectures, including those on Penance in the Patristic, Medieval, and Reformation Church, are available now for all Greystone Members.

My guest this week is Dr. Yonder Gillihan, a professor of Theology with special expertise in the Dead Seas Scrolls. He's also my older brother, so our discussion included some of our personal history with religion and the Bible. You'll hear how Yonder's relationship with the Bible has changed over the past four decades, and how he not only made peace with the Bible but even made friends with it. Some of the topics we get into include: The place of the Bible in my brother's and my early family life Why young people often find the Bible to be a tedious and irrelevant book Common frustrations that push people away from the Bible Classical studies as a slippery slope into Biblical studies Different questions we can bring to religious texts Using the Bible to understand its authors The irreconcilable contradictions in the Bible (e.g., the two creation accounts in Genesis) Why the Bible has endured for thousands of years Tradeoffs among some of the popular Bible translations, and the value in reading from multiple translations The Bible as a mosaic of conversations among people who don’t always have the same ideas Understanding the person of Jesus Christ as presented in the four gospels The extent to which the Bible reveals an all-encompassing and unconditional love The many perspectives that the Bible embraces and affirms Conflicting accounts of Jesus’s resurrection in Mark vs. Matthew Biblical inconsistencies as a reminder of the messiness of human life Here are the translations we discussed (affiliate links): Jewish Study Bible New International Version Study Bible (the translation I grew up with) New Revised Standard Version The New Jerusalem Bible The John Prine song Yonder mentioned is called "Fish and Whistle." Here's more about the scholar Terry Eagleton. Yonder Gillihan, PhD, completed his bachelor's and master's degrees at Ball State University and his doctorate at the University of Chicago. He has taught at Yale Divinity School and Dartmouth College, and currently is an associate professor in the Theology Department at Boston College. Yonder's research interests include the Dead Sea Scrolls, Matthew and Paul, apocalypticism, and Christian origins within the context of Jewish sectarianism in the late Second Temple period. His research methods include the application of modern social-scientific methods to ancient communities, with emphasis on the relationship between voluntary associations, and local and imperial authorities. Yonder is heavily invested in teaching his students to read and appreciate the Bible, as I'm guessing you'll gather from our discussion. Find Yonder online at his faculty page on the Boston College website.
Shakespeare's Tragic Vision in "King Lear": A Religious Perspective with Rev. David Robb William Shakespeare, widely regarded as the greatest English dramatist of all time, is especially noted for his originality and experimental genius in several known genres of dramatic literature: history, comedy, tragedy, and near the end of his career, by creating a new genre unprecedented before him later dubbed “romances.” Among all of his plays, "King Lear" stands out as a monumental work, and is now acknowledged by most modern scholars as his greatest achievement. It is frequently compared to Bach’s achievement in the B Minor Mass, Rembrandt’s paintings, Tolstoy’s "War and Peace," or Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. Perhaps "King Lear" appears to rise above many of his other great works, especially in our contemporary situation, because, of all his plays, it appears most able to reflect the spiritual dilemmas of our time. In many ways, "King Lear" is a religious drama—not because Shakespeare presents us with clear dogmatic religious options. He does not. But the play forces us to confront profoundly our own spiritual dilemmas—life and death,power and sacrifice, madness and truth, violence and compassion—in compelling ways. This spring, Glenda Jackson, the great English actress, will bring her interpretation of this role—a first for a female actress—to New York after her highly acclaimed performances this past year in London. It seems then a particularly pertinent time to revisit this very powerful work of one of the most imaginative and insightful dramatists of all time. It will also mark the final series of presentations by David Robb in his role as Director of the Adult Education program at All Souls. March 31: "King Lear," Acts 4 and 5 Rev. David Robb is Assistant Minister for Adult Education and Scholar-In-Residence at All Souls. In addition to his ministry with All Souls, he is also a licensed psychotherapist and pastoral counselor with a practice in New York City, and an Associate of Kenwood Psychological Services. He formerly taught as a part-time member of the Theology Department at Georgetown University, and as an Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at Connecticut College.

Each year the McGrath Institute for Church Life hosts a lecture series that runs through Lent and Easter. Which invites people from everywhere to join in a communal reading of a spiritual work for the liturgical season. Two years ago, we focused on Donte’s Divine comedy, last year it was the book of Exodus, and this year it will be C.S. Lewis’ beloved children’s stories the Chronicles of Narnia. As with Dante and the book of Exodus, the Chronicles of Narnia can become an occasion for making a spiritual journey through these seasons. Allowing your imagination, and really your kids’ imaginations, to move in a land where renunciation and trust, belief and bravery, hope and longing, are all prime themes surrounding characters that we come to know and love. Practically speaking these books work well because if you begin reading the first book of the series in the week of Ash Wednesday, and read one book every two weeks, you’re going to finish the last book by Pentecost. So, it is really from Lent through Easter. This really is, therefore, an opportunity to journey through these liturgical seasons with these timeless classics. The lecture series that the McGrath Institute is hosting will convene on four separate nights with two lectures each night. Each story in the series will receive its own lecture, plus an introductory lecture for the whole series. That first lecture will be delivered by today’s guest Professor David Fagerberg. Professor Fagerberg teaches in the field of Liturgical studies at Notre Dame’s Theology Department, he is especially noted for his work in liturgical asceticism and mysticism. Among many popular courses he has taught on the collegiate level over the years, perhaps the most popular of all is his class on Transfiguration in the fiction of C.S. Lewis. His lecture on the upcoming series will address what Lewis hopes for us to find in Narnia. ------ RESOURCES McGrath Series on the Chronicles of Narnia - https://mcgrath.nd.edu/events/chronicles-of-narnia/ Chronicles of Narnia Book - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0061969052/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_XrzzCbV50Q8KN ------ Live: www.redeemerradio.com Follow Redeemer Radio on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram: @RedeemerRadio Follow McGrath Institute for Church Life on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram: @McGrathND Subscribe to the Podcast: iTunes | Google Play | SoundCloud

Ken Himes (Boston College, Theology Department) shares his story about the unexpected people who changed the course of his life, helping this cynical kid figure out what the point of it all was and in the process giving him a new way to look at the world. "People came into my life that didn't have to come into my life. These weren't relatives, these weren't people who owed me anything. But they took some time, they exerted some energy, they thought 'this guy's worth talking to'. Mentors are one of the great gifts of life... To have those kinds of people step into your life is an incredible, rich grace.” “It is all gift.” - Fr. Ken Himes
On this 50th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we also recall the theological vision he shared with his dear friend Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, a vision that compelled both men to become activists in the struggle against racism and to provide impassioned religious opposition to this country’s long engagement in the Vietnam War. Heschel, born and raised in the Hasidic tradition in Poland, later emigrated to the United States and became a public intellectual and provocative leader in 1960's America on the issues of race, war, and interreligious encounter. Deeply influenced by the prophetic tradition of Judaism, both he and King drew upon that tradition to guide their moral trajectory. In this two-part series we will focus attention on the theological roots that united them in a common ethical commitment to the claims of justice. Rev. David Robb is Assistant Minister for Adult Education and Scholar-In-Residence at All Souls. He formerly taught as a member of the Theology Department at Georgetown University, and in the Religious Studies Department at Connecticut College where he also served as Chaplain for 14 years. A graduate of Union Theological Seminary and of the Blanton-Peale Graduate Institute, Mr. Robb also maintains a practice in psychotherapy and pastoral counseling in New York City.

Amoris Laetitia: A discussion with Fr Eamonn ConwayOn this weeks programme we are joined by Fr Eamonn Conway of the Theology Department of Mary Immaculate College in Limerick to reflect and discuss the latest papal post-synodal apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia: the Joy of Love. The exhortation from Pope Francis is a result of the two meetings of the Synods of Bishops in Rome in 2014 and 2015 on the family. It frequently cites their final Reports, documents and teachings of his predecessors, and his own numerous catecheses on the family. In addition, as in previous magisterial documents, the Pope also makes use of the contributions of various Episcopal Conferences around the world (Kenya, Australia, Argentina...) and cites significant figures such as Martin Luther King and Erich Fromm. You can listen to Fr Eamonn's discussion excerpted from the main programme here.His reflection takes us through each section of the apostolic exhortation where once more we see how Pope Francis is calling us to the "revolution of tenderness" throughout the church. To enable us to read the document some of the keys are missionary key or that sense of urgency which we need to have in the church at this minute in time. It re-echoes the model of the church as a field hospital for those that are wounded. In this Year of Mercy Fr Eamonn reminds us that mercy is a bending of the heart to the situations where we find the woundedness of others. "Accompanying, discerning and integrating our weaknesses" - Fr Eamonn's quite profound reflection and challenge on section 8 of the apostolic exhortation can be listened to here. Our previous post on the publication of the apostolic exhortation including round up of links, commentary and a synopsis from the Vatican is HERE.
