    Gregory of Nazianzus - The Arian Crisis reaches its climax

    In this episode, Sam and Hank trace the dramatic rise of Gregory of Nazianzus from his elite education in Athens to the violent, high-stakes streets of 4th-century Constantinople. They explore how geopolitical chaos—including the Huns' invasion and the death of an Emperor—set the stage for Gregory to defend Nicene Trinitarianism against the brilliant logic of his rival, Eunomius. The discussion bridges the gap between ancient theology and modern political polarization, revealing how the "Five Theological Orations" were forged in a crucible of riot, refugee crises, and state-enforced orthodoxy.We mention : Gregory of Nazianzus, Gregory the Elder, Nona, Constantine, Basil of Caesarea (Basil the Great), Flavius Julianus (Julian the Apostate), St. Augustine, Eustathius, Origen of Alexandria, Athanasius, Eunomius, Arius, Scott Hahn, Bergstrom, Paul Vanderlay (  @PaulVanderKlay  ) , John the Apostle, Jordan Peterson, Kathy Newman, Caiaphas, Valens, Samuel, Valentinian, Gregory of Nyssa, Ambrose of Milan, J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Gratian, Pope Damasus, Peter of Alexandria, Vladimir Putin.

    Dr. Dustin Smith - A systematic theology of the early church

    In this episode of Transfigured, biblical scholar Dr. Dustin Smith joins the show to discuss his new book, A Systematic Theology of the Early Church. The conversation explores a "filterless" approach to the Bible, examining how the earliest Christians understood the nature of God, the agency of Jesus, and the role of the Holy Spirit. Dr. Smith challenges traditional creedal assumptions by rooting his systematic theology strictly in first-century historical and scriptural contexts.Dustin's Channel -  @BiblicalUnitarianPodcast  Amazon Book Link - https://www.amazon.com/Systematic-Theology-Early-Church-ebook/dp/B0FVG68CDD

    "The Word became flesh" - A eucharistic interpretation of John 1:14

    This episode argues for a eucharistic reading of "the word became flesh" challenging the common belief that John 1:14 is about Jesus's birth, arguing instead that it establishes the New Covenant's two central rituals: Baptism (New Birth) and the Eucharist (Sustenance). By adopting the Greek translation that the Word "tabernacled in us," we find a shared sacred practice that can be a new center of unity for Christians struggling with theological fracturing.Bill Schegel's video (  @billschlegel1  ) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A87VcXKCWBM&t=1053sMy prologue presentation at the UCA (  @UnitarianChristianAlliance  ) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TL7vQIPGQ14&t=2110sMy extended prologue presentation - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqTlnT-J6rk&t=5337sSean Finnegan on Corinthians - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiNXMo2KMxk&t=103sSean Finnegan Corinthians (  @restitutio8765  ,  @livinghopelatham  ) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lht8tLge3iUDustin Smith Theme of Misunderstanding (  @BiblicalUnitarianPodcast  ) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUNLO9Zm83o&t=230sFr.

    David Bentley Hart - A radical new Christology proposal

    This episode features Dr. David Bentley Hart discussing his book, The Light of Tabor: Notes Towards a Monist Christology. Hart explains his theological project as deconstructing centuries of Christological debate to move past dualistic tensions that separate the divine and human. He argues for a "radically monistic" understanding of the Incarnation, where Christ's perfect human identity is wholly and eternally transparent to the Logos.DBH's youtube channel :  @leavesinthewind7441  DBH's substack - https://substack.com/@davidbentleyhart We mention Jordan Daniel Wood, Arius, Eunomius, Paul the Apostle, John the Apostle, Gregory of Nyssa, Augustine of Hippo, Philip the Chancellor, John of St. Palmus, Aristotle, Carl Bart, Meister Eckhart, Sergei Bulgakov, Vladimir Solovyov, Sarah O'Rean, Yakob Boehme, Martin Heidegger, John Milbank, Cyril of Alexandria, Pope Leo I, Gregory of Nazianzus, John Behr and more.
