| #139 Contextual Darwinism and racial inequality - with Dr. David Livingstone | 26 Feb 2021 | 00:53:10 | |
Darwinism has been a flashpoint in many conversations about faith and science, particularly in evangelical circles. Contrary to popular belief, though, not all Christians have responded in the same way to Darwin's work. Today we're sitting down with David Livingstone, Professor of Geography and Intellectual History at the Queen's University of Belfast, to learn more about how Christians responded to Darwinism in its earliest days and how those responses shaped (and were shaped by) social and political commitments as well as religious beliefs. Join us for this challenging and illuminating conversation. Regent College Podcast Thanks for listening.

| #136 Broken raging hearts before God - with Dr. David O. Taylor | 05 Feb 2021 | 00:58:34 | |
Today we're talking about the Psalms with Regent alumnus W. David O. Taylor, who serves as an Associate Professor of Theology and Culture at Fuller Seminary and Director of Brehm Texas. What do the Psalms––especially the unsettling ones––bring to the life of faith? How do we reconcile the all-too-human anger we find in so many Psalms with Jesus's command to love our neighbours––even our enemies? Is the brutal honesty of the Psalms really Christian? If you've ever wondered how to find a place for anger, grief, and bare humanity in the Christian life, this podcast is for you. Regent College Podcast Thanks for listening.
