Education (7)
  1. David and Adam were joined by Dr. Erik Ankerberg, President of Concordia University Wisconsin and Ann Arbor, in a conversation about the literature of Flannery O'Connor.
  2. David and Adam recall their time as students and professors in higher education and discuss the issues associated with being a Christian in academia today.
  3. Nearly two decades ago, Pope Benedict XVI (formerly Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger) delivered what is often called the Regensburg lecture. Though it was meant to rekindle the relationship between faith and reason (or science and theology) in higher education, much of the world—or at least the Muslim majority world—got distracted by a brief reference he made to a fifteenth-century dialogue about Islam, its theological voluntarism, and the consequences of such a view of God.
  4. The Thinking Fellows talk about confirmation bias. Is there a benefit to regularly engaging with disagreeable ideas?
  5. The Thinking Fellows explore the reasons why students go to college.
  6. The Thinking Fellows make a case for reading old books.
  7. Caleb Keith and Dr. Adam Francisco are joined by a guest to talk about the liberal arts and classical education. Our guest today is Dr. C.J. Armstrong.
