  Why the Reformers Didn't Go to Seminary

  Aug 18, 202634 minS1

  In this episode, we discuss how the rise of isolated seminaries and the influence of pietism inadvertently siloed theology away from the broader culture. By looking back at the Reformers and Puritans—who were men of the university rather than standalone seminaries—we explore why theology was historically seen as the unifying core of all human knowledge and learning. Key Topics Covered: How pietism divorced theology from daily culture and public life The historical impact of siloing theology into standalone seminaries Why the Reformers and Puritans viewed theology as integral to the university Restoring "unity" to the concept of the universitySubscribe for more deep dives on faith, culture, and theology! #theology #Christianity #ChurchHistory #Education #FaithAndCulture #Puritans #Reformation

  Episode #24

  The Problem with Teaching Church History in School.

  Aug 13, 202626 minS1

  In this discussion, the panel explores the strengths and limitations of statements of faith. While they serve as valuable tools for evaluating prospective teachers and clarifying a school’s convictions, they also raise an important question: can centuries of theological debate really be summarized in a brief document? The conversation considers why the historic Christian confessions have endured for generations and what schools can learn from them. Rather than attempting to reinvent comprehensive doctrinal standards, the panel discusses the wisdom of drawing from the church’s historic confessional tradition. Whether you’re a school leader, teacher, pastor, or parent, this conversation offers practical insights into building theological clarity while remaining rooted in the historic Christian faith. Topics Discussed: The purpose of a statement of faith Hiring teachers with theological integrity The limits of one-page doctrinal statements Historic Christian confessions and their value * Why theological clarity matters for Christian education

  How Should Christians Read and Teach Graphic Classical Literature?

  Aug 12, 202632 minS1

  How should we teach Dante’s Inferno? Many readers get lost in the names, historical references, and medieval politics. But Dante’s primary concern is not simply identifying who is being punished—it’s revealing what sin does to the human soul. In this discussion, we explore the principle of contrapasso, Dante’s poetic justice in which each punishment reflects the nature of the sin itself. The lustful are blown about by the winds of their passions. The schismatics, who brought division and discord into the world, are themselves divided. More importantly, we discuss how teachers can help students read Inferno well: by focusing first on the actions, images, and spiritual realities Dante presents rather than getting lost in every historical detail. Dante’s vision invites us to see not merely the consequences of sin, but the shape it gives to the soul itself. #Dante #Inferno #DivineComedy #ClassicalEducation #ClassicalChristianEducation #GreatBooks #Literature #ChristianEducation #ACCS #Humanities

  Can Bad Men Be Good Rhetoricians?

  Aug 11, 202635 minS1

  Do words merely express our thoughts, or do they shape them? In this clip, the discussion explores the relationship between language, thought, and culture. The speakers consider how changes in language affect our ability to reason together, arrive at shared understanding, and even perceive reality itself. Drawing connections between rhetoric, poetry, and modern public discourse, they argue that words are not simply containers for ideas—they help form the ideas themselves. If that is true, what happens when a culture loses its sensitivity to language? Topics discussed: • Language and thought • The power of rhetoric • Shared meaning and public discourse • Poetry as a form of intellectual formation • Why words matter more than we often realize
