  • Sometimes I get lost

    Because the conversation seems more for the interlocutors than for the listeners who, if they’re like me, don’t know as much. For example, I could not tell you what Ty Monroe’s book is about beyond the title. The guys clearly had a lot to say, but it was all inside baseball to me

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Professor Stanley Hauerwas
Q: Have you seen Augustine influence your work in shaping Christian ethics over the last 50 years?
The influence is deep and multidimensional; Augustine's honesty about his life, the role of confession, and the call to tell the truth have profoundly shaped how I view ethics as both a personal and communal practice, with ongoing relevance for how Christians engage public life.
Dr Peter Kreeft - I Burned for your Peace
Q: Why is Augustine still relevant for both Catholics and Protestants today?
Augustine embodies a universal Christian anthropology and a way of reading faith and reason that speaks across traditions, showing how belief and yearning for truth can harmonize with intellectual rigor and moral discipline.
Dr Joseph H Sherrard - The Augustinian Pastor
Q: How does Augustine's concept of the cure of souls translate to a modern parish context?
The guest describes cure of souls as reordering loves and guiding people through spiritual formation, using preaching and pastoral care to shepherd congregants along a Christian pilgrimage rather than merely imparting information.
Dr Joseph H Sherrard - The Augustinian Pastor
Q: What made you want to write a book specifically for pastors?
Joey explains that he was influenced by CPT and a sense that Augustine offers practical tools for pastoral life, not just abstract theology, and that the book aims to translate Augustine for laypeople and clergy alike.
Dr Matthew Elia - The Problem of the Christian Master
Q: Could you explain how Augustine uses the language of dominus and slave and the problems of translation and anachronisms?
Elia elaborates on the semantic and philosophical challenges of translating dominus and related terms, arguing for a reading that foregrounds the three-layer hierarchy and the relational dependence between master and slave.
