Episode 158
Should All Christians Be Humanists?
We are discussing Christian humanism today with the Christian Humanist, himself, Nathan Gilmour! Hosts, Joshua Noel and TJ (Tiberius Blackwell) ask Nathan about his own podcast, his teaching career, and his favorite Christian philosophers! Nathan was recently on The Partially Examined Life Podcast and was asked about Erasmus' praise of folly. We ask Nathan whether the praise of folly is anti-Biblical when concerning ideas from the proverbs? Can God use folly? Is it okay to sing about the "Reckless Love" of God? What other philosophers challenge our modern version of Christianity? What is humanism? What are the main beliefs of humanism? Can a humanist believe in a god? Where did humanism start from? How did ancient Greek and Roman texts contribute to the rise of humanism in Italy? Is God a humanist? Who is Boethius? Why was Boethius so important? Should Christians read Boethius' "Consolations of Philosophy"? We discuss all this and more in this episode! Let us know about your favorite Christian philosophers in our Facebook group, The Whole Church Group!
