The Bible Triggered Two Communications Revolutions: The Codex and the Printing Press 52:06

6d ago52:06

52:06

For Christians, the Bible is a book inspired by God. But it has been received by different cultures and language groups in (sometimes) radically different ways. Following Jesus’s departing instruction to go out into the world, the Bible has been a book in motion from its very beginnings, and every community it has encountered has read, heard, and s…

11d ago41:40

41:40

In World War II, there were no C-130s or large cargo aircraft that could deliver heavy equipment – such as a truck or artillery piece – in advance of an airborne invasion.

How Much Did Average Germans Know About the Holocaust During World War Two? 40:14

18d ago40:14

40:14

This is the question that historians have argued since the end of World War Two. How much did an average person know, and, more importantly, how responsible were they?

Then, in 208 BC, …

Today’s guest, Peter Staveley, proposes that Robin Hood lived du…

Civilization Owes Its Existence to the Horse 40:26

27d ago40:26

40:26

The use of horses by humans began roughly 5,500 years ago on the windswept grasslands of the Pontic- Caspian Steppe when a daring man (or a woman – we have no way of knowing) jumped on the back of a docile mare. Thus began the horse’s unrivalled historical influence across millennia to the present day. The horse dominated every facet of humanity—as…

In the stagnant, troglodyte existence of trench warfare,…

Today, the words “federalism” and “originalism” are bandied about in the news almost daily, but to get at the underpinnings of these modern interpretations of constitutional law, it is essential to look at how the Constitution was being interpreted and applied during the crucial period of 1815-1861, between the end of the War of 1812 and the beginn…
