Update: 2016-05-21
Description
I loved talking to Merold Westphal and I’m pretty sure all the HBC Deacons and theology nerds across the
inter-webs are gonna dig this conversation coming out of the barrel. Westphal is a long time philosophy prof from Fordham University and has now reached the status of emeritus. Merold is a top notch philosopher and committed evangelical who thinks deep and wrestles faithfully. He publishes regularly and also has an awesome book for a general audience.
In the episode we discuss…
Heidegger & The Onto-theological Critique- Evangelicalism
- Growing up a dispensationalist and ending up a Christian philosopher
- Hegel, the social constitution of the self, & the located nature of ‘reason’

- Revelation, the Word of God, and Human Receptivity
