Sea Breeze: Contemplating Christian Classics

We are back after a (long) break! Today we take a look at the relationship between Christianity and economics in R.H. Tawney's classic work. We trace their interplay from the Middle Ages to the Reformation and into the Puritans while answering the question: what role does the church and Christianity play in economic dealings. Enjoy!

We start a new book today about the life of Adoniram Judson, the first American missionary. Part 1 of this book highlights his early life, conversion and preparation to go overseas. We are also joined by a special guest so we hope you enjoy!

In the final episode for this book, we discuss the importance of fixed ideals, the surprising oppressiveness of liberal theology and common objections to the faith. Please enjoy and don't forget to fill out the polls!

In the second of three episodes on this book, we get fantastical with fairy tales, magic and paradoxes. Enjoy!

Today on the podcast, we start a new book! Join Eric while he discusses G.K. Chesterton's classic. We touch on: discovering something that has always existed, reason vs. imagination, and contradictions in modern-day thought. Enjoy!

In this one episode special, Eric dives into a classic text on Christian community from the 20th century. Hope you enjoy!

In our final episode of the season, we finish City of God by discussing the judgment of God on the lost and the eternal bliss to be enjoyed by the saints. We hope you enjoyed this season and look forward to seeing you for the next book!

After a long break, we are back to discuss more differences between the city of man and the city of God while also diving into man's ultimate purpose in life. We hope you enjoy!

Back from a short break, we dive into part 4 of City of God where Augustine traces the histories of the two cities, from Cain and Abel all the way to King David. We discuss really old humans, compare human history to the stages of development of a child and reflect on the goodness and sovereign hand of God in the world.

Sin and death, flesh and spirit, lust and love are all on the docket for this week's episode! Please give us a five star rating and subscribe if you are blessed by our content.

We dive into the second part of City of God where Augustine extensively lays out his theological positions. This episode focuses on his analysis of Creation, including: why the Universe was made when and where it was, the creation and fall of the angels, the origin of evil wills, the creation of man and the simplicity of God. Enjoy! 

In our third episode, we analyze and discuss Books VI-X from the City of God by Augustine. We discuss earthly vs. heavenly glory, true happiness, emotions and true religion and worship. We hope you enjoy!

In this episode, we tackle Books III-V from Augustine's City of God. We discuss the inconsistencies of pagan theology, true happiness and the tension between free will and God's providence. We hope you enjoy! Errata: the Jim Elliott quote was misspoken and should be: "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." 

This is the debut of our new podcast "Sea Breeze: Contemplating Christian Classics" where we read and discuss classic Christian literature from the past 2000 years. The first work we will be discussing is City of God by Augustine and in this episode we will cover Books I and II. We hope you enjoy the show!
