Professor Rachel Fulton Brown is a professor of medieval European history at the University of Chicago, who specializes in the study of devotion and prayer, along with the works of J.R.R Tolkien. In this conversation, Professor Brown, a lifelong Christian, and recent convert to Catholicism, discloses much of her spiritual journey, talks about how to develop spiritual discipline in a largely secular age, and how a proper understanding of the Virgin Mary is necessary to save the soul of Western Civilization--a statement which has gotten her into some recent controversy! In this episode, we also discuss: How to step inside the beam of devotion to gain a greater understanding of God; how to think about--and respond to--corruption in the church; and her recent work with a rather interesting--and indeed--controversial figure! A deep and, at times, provocative interview, that comes with more than a few surprises, I hope you enjoy my conversation with Professor Rachel Fulton Brown.

It's an age old question--some would say an age old myth--but let's be fair in asking it: Are science and religion fundamentally at odds? Well, I suppose that depends on who you ask. But at least one theoretical physicist (enter Stephen Barr) says no--no they most certainly are not. Not only are religion and science not at odds, suggests Barr, but there is deep and important consonance between the two, when each is properly understood. In this episode: Does physics tell us everything we need to know about ourselves, and the world? Has physics eliminated the need for God? What is the real history of the Catholic Church and its approach to science? What about miracles? Don't miracles violate the laws of physics? Do humans really have freewill? Or is everything we do determined by the laws of nature? Can theism provide the proper philosophical background for understanding science?

Fr. Thomas Joseph White, a philosopher, theologian, author, and Dominican who teaches at the Angelicum in Rome, joins Pat to discuss many of the common (and often difficult) questions people have about religion in today's secular age. How can we know that God exists? Is there a conflict between religion and science? Are there any objective moral norms? And how can we know if any one particular religion has gotten everything right?

Pat Flynn interviews Professor Michael Rectenwald of New York University, who has recently been making headlines for speaking out against the radical, postmodernist views infesting academia--views that he himself once held(!)--and the subsequent attacks he's faced, both personal and professional, for doing so. This interview should be interesting for anybody who's ever wondered about the history of postmodern philosophy--how it started, and how it eventually evolved into many of the radical and intolerant ideas that academia, and our world, are confronted with today. ... About Michael Rectenwald Michael Rectenwald, Ph.D., is a professor of Liberal Studies at New York University, where he teaches writing and cultural history. He received a B.A. in English from the University of Pittsburgh, an M.A. from Case Western Reserve University of Pittsburgh, an M.A. from Case Western Reserve University, and a Ph.D. in Literary and Cultural Studies from Carnegie Mellon University. At age twenty, Michael was an apprentice poet to Allen Ginsberg at the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics, at Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado. ...

"You often hear many things about Jesus. Many things such that he was the Son of God or perhaps many other things, such that he was not the Son of God but an enlightened teacher of some sort. Perhaps you have heard that Jesus never existed, and that He was a legend along the lines of a Hercules or Thor. Or Chinnamunda, perhaps. No matter where you go, and especially if you are go looking online, there are many things you will hear about Jesus. As somebody who was not always a Christian—in fact, for many years I considered myself to be an atheist—but who became religious after an unexpected encounter with grace (I am now, mind you, permitted to use such phrases as these; I gained that right at baptism), I can tell you that the person of Jesus is the most stupefying figure in all of human history, and by far the most frightening for those who consider Him seriously. He simply gives one the chills, when you stop to think about it. And since my coming to realize this—since, that is, my coming to Christ—I've come further to grip with the fact that a lot (maybe even most) people do not see Jesus in quite the way He intended us to; do not see Him as frightening or stupefying or all that different or amazing. Even many of those who profess to in their creeds, do not see Him this way. I say this not condescendingly, but as a relative outsider and newcomer to the Christian tradition: I think even many of those who are brought up within the Christian religion are simply used to, or otherwise indifferent toward, the utter peculiarity of the person of Jesus Christ. His story doesn't strike them in the same way it struck me, peering in as I was through the stained glass window. In that sense, what I am about to propose is not so much an apologetic, as an exploration. I want us to look into the difference of Jesus and the difference He makes." ... In this episode, Pat shares a talk he presented at Holy Apostles college and seminary on the difference of Jesus and the difference He makes. ... Support the Show!
