How does the Bible guide us in applying its truths to our culture? Of course the Bible applies to our individual lives, but the Bible is also a rich resource for critique of any culture. Join Scott and Sean with their guest, British philosopher Chris Watkin for a fascinating journey through the major theological emphases in Scripture and how they apply to various aspects of contemporary culture. This is theology articulated like you’ve never heard it before!

Christopher Watkin is Associate Professor of French Studies at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. He describes his work as “I make sense of how people make sense of the world.” He is author of several books, including, From Plato to Postmodernism: The Story of Western Culture through Philosophy, Literature and Art, Thinking Through Creation: Genesis 1-2 as Tools of Cultural Critique, and Biblical Critical Theory: How the Bible's Unfolding Story Makes Sense of Modern Life and Culture
