Luke's Acts of the Apostles tells the story of the earliest Christians. The second half of the book centers on the evangelistic (and apologetic) activity of St. Paul. In this episode, David and Adam talk about Paul's trip to the birthplace of philosophy--Athens--and the stoic and epicurean philosophers he spoke to on Mars Hill.  (We encountered some audio issues in this episode. Most of it was rectified in the processing of editing, although we are aware there are a few seconds-worth of glitches in the first five minutes of recording.)       Show Notes: Support 1517 1517 Podcasts The 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts 1517 on Youtube What's New from 1517: Bible in One Year with Chad Bird Freedom Lessons Album Your God is too Glorious, 2nd Edition by Chad Bird Schweitzer's Psychoanalysis of Jesus Christ: & Other Essays in Christian Psychotherapy by John Warwick Montgomery NWA Conference May 3rd-4th More from the hosts: Adam Francisco David Andersen

Nearly two decades ago, Pope Benedict XVI (formerly Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger) delivered what is often called the Regensburg lecture. Though it was meant to rekindle the relationship between faith and reason (or science and theology) in higher education, much of the world—or at least the Muslim majority world—got distracted by a brief reference he made to a fifteenth-century dialogue about Islam, its theological voluntarism, and the consequences of such a view of God. This episode marks the beginning of a conversation on the Regensburg lecture. For the text, formally titled "Faith, Reason and the University", click here. If you are interested in the controversy it generated, Wikipedia is a good place to start. Enjoy.

David and Adam have spent the last two and half months exploring both the philosophical and scientific evidence for God's existence and the historical evidence for the resurrection and deity of Jesus. The case for both is strong (and your hosts have only really scratched the surface). Even so, unbelief persists. In fact, the data from every relevant survey suggests it is on the rise. This episode reflects on this issue--that despite the evidence, Christianity is still regarded as something akin to a cleverly devised myth--and offers some observations on how Christians might continue to bear witness to the faith in the public arena.    Show Notes: Support 1517 on Giving Tuesday! 1517 Podcasts The 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts 1517 on Youtube What's New from 1517: Freedom Lessons Album Free 2023 Advent Resources Your God is too Glorious, 2nd Edition 2024 NWA Tickets (May 3-4) Join the 1517 Academy More from the hosts: Adam Francisco David Andersen

The first Christians believed Jesus was Lord and God. This episode explores how this could be given the monotheism of Judaism. The only explanation, David and Adam argue, is the fact of the resurrection.   Some helpful resources: Richard Bauckham, Jesus and the God of Israel Martin Hengel, Studies in Early Christology   Show Notes: ·       Support 1517 ·       1517 Podcasts ·       The 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts ·       1517 on Youtube What's New from 1517: ·       Freedom Lessons Album ·       Free 2023 Advent Resources ·       Your God is too Glorious, 2nd Edition ·       2024 NWA Tickets (May 3-4) ·       Join the 1517 Academ More from the hosts: ·       Adam Francisco ·       David Andersen
