Christian Humanist Profiles Episode 284: Beverly Gaventa (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I always think I know what Romans is about, and then I reread Romans. I don’t fault the Reformed for fixating on the formulas that confirm Calvin, and I don’t blame Lutherans for taking “law” as consistently a term of abuse when it seems more fluid to my eyes, but I do wonder at the confidence with which so many read this confounding epistle–how are people so convinced that they know what Romans teaches? Today Christian Humanist Profiles welcomes Dr. Beverly Gaventa to talk about her book Readin

Read excerpt
In the sixteenth century, Desiderius Erasmus revolutionized homiletics by bringing the insights of Ciceronian and later humanist rhetoric to bear on preaching, and historians of Protestant and Catholic traditions in the following centuries agree that worship gatherings transformed radically with that crossover.

In Shakespeare’s own time, plays were entertainment, the things that law students went to hear when they weren’t r

I first learned about Pierre Hadot in a John Milbank book, and ever since I’ve read everything of his that I could get my hands on. Hadot’s revolutionary power resides not in a particular claim or argument but in a method: he investigates Plato and the Stoics and eventually even Wittgenstein as shapers of lives, teachers who lead disciples into new ways of life through philosophical disciplines. Although Hadot is not one of the heroes of The Kantian Religion–and we might get back to Hadot at som
