1. Turning Inward to Attack Evil. In this episode, we continue to discuss Simone Weil on Evil. The importance of Jesus’ sacrificial death as expiation and redemption and what happens when we try to make good apart from God.
  2. Am I Evil? In this episode, we continue to read and discuss Simone Weil on Evil. Violence, suffering, and justice. What part does human evil play in Jesus’ sacrificial death?
  3. Wade and Mike welcome Dr. Andrew Schmiege making it a three Michigander episode. Dr. Schmiege teaches Spanish at Wisconsin Lutheran College. A true renaissance man, Dr. Schmiege, interests are wide as shown in his dissertation topic which dealt with Christian and Islamic polemics in early modern Spain.
  4. Mike and Wade continue their walk through the life of Martin Luther. While there are many important and intriguing characters they have encountered along the journey, the most fascinating might be Lucas Cranach.
  5. In the THIRTY-FOURTH the guys discuss the debate between famous humanist, Desiderius Erasmus, and Martin Luther, who reluctantly battled over the doctrine of the will as it relates to salvation. In 1524 Erasmus wrote his diatribe On the Freedom of the Will. Luther responded about a year later with On the Bondage of the Will.
  6. Mike and Wade introduce Katherine von Bora. The former nun and wife of Martin Luther, has an interesting story in her own right. We hope that you will enjoy the discussion of this remarkable woman who has been dubbed “The Mother of the Reformation”.
  7. Mike and Wade discuss Thomas Müntzer. The radical reformer, who was once a student of Luther, turned to German mysticism that eventually to violence in his attempt to bring about a new age of Christendom.
  8. In the THIRTY-FIRST episode in our Wingin' It series on the life of Martin Luther, Wade and Mike discuss the so-called Peasants' War, which took place from 1524-1525 (yes, they're still in the mid-1520's).
  9. n the THIRTIETH episode in our Wingin' It series on the life of Martin Luther, Wade and Mike discuss the role of Ulrich Zwingli in the Reformation. Zwingli serves as Luther's counterpart in Switzerland, as well as something of a foil to Luther in the Reformation in a larger sense.
  10. n the TWENTY-NINTH episode in our Wingin' It series on the life of Martin Luther, Wade and Mike continue their march through the life and times of Martin Luther. In this episode they step back to take a bit broader view of the burgeoning Reformation in the 1520s.
  11. On episode ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-TWO Mike and Wade are joined once again by Dr. Kerry Kuehn, who was a guest very early on (before he realized what this podcast was all about). We are fortunate to have duped him into joining us again (probably because Mike has since joined the podcast and brought some level of respectability to it).
