1. Weekend Edition for September 2-3, 2023
  2. Today on the show, we head to the mailbag to answer a question about American Christianity.
  3. It’s A Bittersweet, Scientific Symphony of Atheism. In this episode, we discuss Josh McDowell’s book, More Than A Carpenter, and the topic of belief, science, and atheism. Do science and faith contradict one another? Is atheism a reasonable position over-against belief in God?
  4. Today on the Almanac, we look at one of the most important inventions in history and the church’s history.
  5. A Mighty Fortress is Our God’s Memory. In this episode, we read and discuss Live Not by Lies: A Manual for Christian Dissidents by Rod Dreher. Why is communal memory important to preserving correct doctrine? What happens to families when communal memory is lost? When do traditions enable soft totalitarianism to infiltrate our churches and culture?
  6. Today on the Almanac, we commemorate the feast of Hildegard von Bingen.
  7. Faith in What? Faith in Who? In this episode, we read Robert J. Delahunty’s article about Alex de Tocqueville’s faith. Tocqueville is a remarkable study in Enlightenment faith because he straddles the line between Christianity and the Enlightenment: Law and religion, belief and despair that concerns the relationships between Church and State in the United States and France.
  8. Just Sit Back and Let It Happen. In this episode, we continue our reading of Martin Luther’s Galatians lectures. This week, passive faith, internalizing virtue, and the law of the jungle.
  9. In this episode we have a conversation about God's people walking through the Red Sea to safety in the Bible Story found in Exodus 14.
  10. On this day, we celebrate the feast day of Cyril, Bishop of Alexandria, and remember the death of James Moffatt, translator of the Bible. Our reading is "He Dies, The Friend of Sinners Dies" by Isaac Watts.
  11. It's time to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. But don't worry, there is nothing to be anxious about.
