Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

David Zahl: The Charlie Brown Droop and the Burden of Not Wanting to be a Burden
Q: What role do you think humor and laughter has in helping us carry our burdens?
Humor involves a cognitive aspect that allows us to see our burdens from a different perspective, which helps bear them.
Brian Zahnd : The Kaleidoscope of the Cross
Q: What was one of your favorite chapters to write?
Zahnd enjoyed writing Chapter 10, 'One Ring to Rule Them All', especially working with Tolkien and exploring themes contrasting power with the cross.
Jennifer Banks: On Being Born
Q: How would you hope this book will kind of move other conversations forward?
I hope it inspires real conversations about birth, providing a framework to discuss it beyond polarized views and acknowledging its significance in our lives.
Jennifer Banks: On Being Born
Q: What inspired you to write your book?
The inspiration came after the birth of my first child, which made me realize there was a lack of literature on birth compared to the abundance of literature on death.
Lydia Schumacher: The Light of Divine Illumination
Q: How does Augustine's idea of Divine Illumination differ from or relate to the kind of intellectual milieu that he's in?
Augustine's idea of divine illumination has both similarities and differences with Neoplatonism, transforming earlier thought while also shaping the understanding of cognition.
