This week on the podcast, Chad is joined by Dr. Hans Madueme, Professor of Theological Studies at Covenant College, to discuss his award-winning book “Defending Sin: A Response to the Challenges of Evolution and the Natural Sciences” with Baker Academic Press. Drawing from his deep engagement with the intersection of faith and science, Dr. Madueme explores how Christian theology can thoughtfully respond to evolutionary theory and the natural sciences, especially when they seem to be at odds with faith and doctrine. Thanks to Dr. Madueme for the insightful dialogue and to Baker Academic for providing the book.

Today, Chad is joined by Dr. Michael Lamb, political philosopher, ethicist, and author of the new book "A Commonwealth of Hope: Augustine’s Political Thought, published by Princeton University Press."In this episode, they dive into Dr. Lamb’s work, which challenges the prevailing view of Augustine as a purely pessimistic thinker. Instead, A Commonwealth of Hope offers a compelling reinterpretation of Augustine’s political thought as rooted in hope, not despair.Dr. Lamb brings a rich academic background, having studied and taught at Rhodes, Princeton, and Oxford. He now serves as the F.M. Kirby Foundation Chair of Leadership and Character and Associate Professor of Interdisciplinary Humanities at Wake Forest University.A special thanks to Dr. Lamb for the insightful conversation!Buy "A Commonwealth of Hope"Subscribe to our Patreontwitter: @theologyxianFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ahistoryofchristiantheology

Today we talk about the doctrine of creation in St. Augustine with Dr. Ortlund. Dr. Ortlund writes about theological retrieval for evangelicals and this work is a work of retrieval for the doctrine of creation. Our conversation sticks mostly to Augustine, his method of interpretation and understanding of humility.
