Today I’m joined by Justin Barrett and Sarey Concepcion to discuss their TheoPsych project and book, “TheoPsych: Psychological Science Primer for Theologians". We consider 4 reasons it might be helpful for theologians to be aware of the best available psychological science evidence. We also cover morality, our sense of what science says, philosophical intuitions and more.

Leaving "Biblical Womanhood" Behind (#164)

Joining me today is Dr. Beth Allison Barr, author of “The Making of Biblical Womanhood.” Instead of primarily discussing Dr. Barr's book, which she has done at length, we focused on more global questions: patriarchy, plausibility structures, how history has shaped faith, and more. Beth says, "The miracle of the Bible is that the story of Jesus still gets through despite how much humans have messed with it.”Dr. Barr’s Author Page: https://bethallisonbarr.com/

Love & Perfectionism in Raising Kids (#166)

This is the first of a number of episodes focusing on child raising in and around Christianity. Author and journalist Bekah McNeel joins me today to discuss her book "Bringing up Kids When Church Lets You Down: A Guide for Parents Questioning Their Faith." Bekah says, "we need to see our children as people with emotional realities and needs, and how we communicate love has to take that into account." We focus on parental humility, attachment wounds, faith assumptions, and widening who gets to participate in the biblical dialogue.
