  • Consistently high quality

    One of my favorite faith podcasts. I loved the interviews with brief theological introductions to Book of Mormon authors. Love the Abide series related to come follow me curriculum.

    I hope you do more episodes with Christian Heal and others for NT 2023!

    Addendum: love the SHORT episodes about OT!!!

    The audio volume of the presenter was very soft and makes hearing the content difficult.

  • Awful academic rubbish

    I was hoping to gain some insight in section 88 and instead the two speakers took

    verse 15 to discuss “embodiment” and racial embodiment. Racial essentialism is a cancer and it is a shame that the Maxwell Institute has allowed it to metastasize.

  • Great new focus

    I look forward to the new focus on themes from the Doctrine and Covenants. The first in the series was very good. The discussion on agency was interesting and helpful to think in broader ways in today’s world. It inspires me to get the book to learn even more.

Maxwell Institute Podcast #187: How to Read the Bible Like a Pilgrim, featuring Dr. Kristian Heal
Q: What can a sort of non-expert Latter-day Saint, who really wants to start a pilgrimage through the Old Testament this year, how can they most benefit from academic scholarship on the Bible, and how can they access that scholarship?
Start with a good study Bible, such as the Oxford Study Bible or the Jewish Study Bible, and find commentaries that present biblical scholarship alongside Christian thought, like John Goldingay's work.
Maxwell Institute Podcast #186: More to Question, More to Believe, with Dr. Katie Paxman
Q: What is the relationship between questions and doubt?
Doubt can be a disposition toward a particular belief, whereas questioning actively seeks understanding and is a more engaged form of inquiry.
Maxwell Institute Podcast #185: What beauty reveals about God, featuring Dr. Steve Peck
Q: What are the kind of values that you see emerging from this universe that our creator has placed us in?
The value of love is most clear, encompassing many societal elements and opportunities for friendship.
Maxwell Institute Podcast #185: What beauty reveals about God, featuring Dr. Steve Peck
Q: When I am looking at something that is beautiful to me, what am I experiencing?
Beauty is an experience that is personal and can vary from person to person based on memories and previous experiences.
Maxwell Institute Podcast #182: The Future of Religion in the United Kingdom with Thomas Russell
Q: What is your gut feeling about the future of traditional organized religion based on your interviews?
There might be a renewal where people are leaving organized religion but still identifying as spiritual; communities need to be vibrant and find ways to be organized in an unorganized way.
