In an extension of the interview on Volume 152 of the Journal, Bishop Robert Barron (author of Renewing Our Hope and many other books) talks with Ken Myers about the necessity of persuading people that theological claims are about things that are objectively true, not just personally meaningful. Barron explains the difficulty he has in getting non-Christians to engage with his arguments that are based on reason, or Logos, and asserts that we need to recover the ability to argue publicly about religion.

On Volume 156 of the JournalPaul Tyson discusses his book A Christian Theology of Science (Baker Academic). Since much of his analysis in that book is about a Christian understanding of what counts as “knowledge” and of what is really real, today’s feature presents excerpts from a 2017 interview with Tyson about his book, De-fragmenting Modernity: Reintegrating Knowledge with Wisdom, Belief with Truth, and Reality with Being (Cascade Books). Also included is a reading of several paragraphs from his 2014 volume Returning to Reality: Christian Platonism for Our Times (Cascade Books).

This feature is available to listeners with a Mars Hill Audio membership.
