Episode 80 - Biographical Dictionary of Evangelicals: John Angell James
This season we're doing something a little different. This season will consist of mostly shorter episodes with inspiration drawn from the Biographical Dictionary of Evangelicals by Mark Noll and published by Intervarsity Press. BDE features brief biographies, ordered chronologically, of over 400 evangelicals from John Wycliff to the modern day spread across 816 pages. My plan for each episode is to use a random number generator to select a page and then deliver a brief biography of whomever was randomly selected. This is something of an experiment and we'll have to see how it goes.

Bonus Episode 19 - The Man That Invented Christmas (Christmas 2024)
This is a special Christmas bonus episode featuring Charles Dickens. Dickens is in many ways responsible for the modern celebration of Christmas - for good or ill. I hope you enjoy this look at this life.

Episode 79 - John Duns Scotus
Today's show is about one of the titans of medieval thought - John Duns Scotus. Scotus was one of the most influential scholastics - right behind Thomas Aquinas. In this episode I'm going to go off into the weeds a bit to explain some of the details of the medieval school of thought known as Scholasticism and other topics. Hopefully you find the side-trips helpful.https://whytheology.wordpress.com/2012/10/24/church-history-minute-john-duns-scotus/https://iep.utm.edu/john-duns-scotus/https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05194a.htmhttps://www.jstor.org/stable/23801483
