You Tube Theology

In this episode of the Forum Podcast, Dr. Daniel Daley from Calvin Theological Seminary sits down with Professor Christopher Watkin, Professor of French and Francophone Studies at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, and author of Biblical Critical Theory, for a wide-ranging conversation about faith, culture, philosophy, and politics.
They discuss:

• How Christopher's journey through French and German philosophy led to Biblical Critical Theory
• Why Christians should engage seriously with literature, film, and philosophy
• How the biblical story (creation, fall, redemption, new creation) is bigger than any competing social or political theory
• The concept of "subversive fulfillment" — how the gospel both opposes and fulfills the values of our surrounding culture(s)
• Why Christians must maintain "gospel freedom of speech" and resist being fully absorbed by any political party or platform
• The surprising story of how Tim Keller discovered the book and wrote the foreword
• Why local, relational engagement matters more than national political posturing
