Introduction to the Year-Long Series.
For the next year on The L.I.F.E. Podcast, we’re going on a journey. Well, if I’m going on this journey, I’ve decided to take you with me.
I’m currently starting a course called The History of Philosophy, using A.C. Grayling’s well-known book of the same name as the course textbook. Grayling is a brilliant thinker, a sharp writer, and—let’s be honest—a committed atheist and humanist who approaches philosophy with the confidence of a man who has never once been tempted to pray before an exam.
But here is the thing.... Even when a worldview differs from ours, I still believe there is treasure to be found. What Christians refer to as gifts of God’s, ‘Common Grace.’
There are questions worth wrestling with, ideas worth reframing, and moments when the Christian story shines all the brighter when contrasted with a humanist worldview. So, each month, I’ll take what’s helpful from the talks, the readings, and the lively discussions that follow, and then react to those ideas from a Christian philosophical worldview—one shaped by Scripture, the wisdom of the Christian thinking, and the lived experience of faith.
Think of it as a guided tour through the great thinkers of history… with a Christian commentary track in the background. And occasionally you might even hear me, by the tone of my voice, raise a Christian eyebrow.
