Show Notes

REPRISE: The first episode of Season 3, Ken brought back friend of the podcast, Dr. David Gushee. He had just released a new book  - Introducing Christian Ethics (release date - January 2022 ). David has just been named Senior Research Fellow at International Baptist Theological Study Centre at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.  David  will present a scholarly lecture entitled "Defending democracy from its Christian enemies." Ethics defined: Critical reflection on Human Morality. It's not just an academic exercise. It's for us all.  Gushee addresses creation, patriarchy, white supremacy, abortion, sexuality, marriage, politics, crime, and more. It's not just what we don't believe, it's about what we affirm.  David identifies covenant as a core ethical value - in both public and private life. David addresses race. Howard Thurman's work, Jesus and the Disinherited gives David a renewed sense of the identity of Jesus and a sensitivity to the marginalized - and the relationship of all this to the Kingdom of God.
