The Rev. Jay Mills, retired Episcopal priest out of North Carolina, joins Andrew and James today to discuss a recent article he wrote titled "There and Back Again: Historical-Critical Skepticism and Renewed Faith" that was published in the Living Church.

In the article, Jay shared about his growing up in the Episcopal Church, coming of age in the late 1960’s and leaving the the church, his return to faith, his time in the early 1970’s Jesus Movement, his years as a theology student and seminarian where encountered the historical-critical method of teaching the Bible, how due to this he became skeptical of the historicity of events as described in the Bible (especially the Old Testament), and his eventual return to the belief of the Bible as authoritative and reliable.

1:05:08

Dr. Lyndal Roper joins us on this episode to discuss the turbulent and devastating peasant wars of 1525, a series of events that comes up often in Reformation studies but are hardly in themselves ever the center of focus in historical study. Dr. Roper's most recent book Summer of Fire and Blood is the first major book in a generation devoted to this subject in detail. In this episode we discuss the motivations behind the peasant revolts, their devastation and their aftermath. Additionally, we discuss the roles that the theologies of Martin Luther, Thomas Müntzer, and Andreas Karlstadt had behind the uprisings. Enjoy! Dr. Roper is the Regius Chair of History at the University of Oxford. Her general focus is the early modern period, and specializes in studies of Luther, the Reformation, 16th century German art and material culture, gender history in the early modern period, and the history of witchcraft. Her past books include Martin Luther: Renegade and Prophet , Living I Was Your Plague: Martin Luther's World and Legacy , and Witch Craze: Terror and Fantasy in Baroque Germany .…
