Ep. 120 - ’ ”Presupposing God” - Immanuel Kant, Karl Barth, and The Creed’ w/ Dr. Robert A. Hand’

Dr Robert A Hand (Not to be confused with the not-invited astrologist Robert S. Hand) joins me to discuss his book:

Presupposing God: Theological Epistemology in Immanuel Kant's Transcendental Idealism and Karl Barth's Theology: https://www.amazon.com/Presupposing-God-Princeton-Theological-Monograph/dp/1666728675

 I originally encountered Dr. Hand's work on this short podcast series: https://open.spotify.com/show/3ieLmfLnB164YclxKZHriN

 And you can check out his website here: https://www.robert-hand.com/

 I was in search of as much information as I could gather on Arius and the "Controversy" leading up to the Council of Nicea (325 AD) and I was blown away by his book in the process, and invited him to chat. You've heard me talk about Enlightenment philosophy, but today we get super granular and talk about why this matters. And it matters to both the Eastern AND Western traditions.

As mentioned in the show, here is a link to the line-by-line breakdown of the Nicean-Constantinopolitan Creed as quoted in Scripture: https://stpaulsirvine.org/the-creed-with-scriptural-references/

 And here is the link to the SVS books dealing with Orthodox and Methodist "ecumenism", should that interest you: https://svspress.com/orthodox-and-wesleyan-spirituality/
