John Ponet, English Reformer - Mark Earngey
<p>God on the ground explores Biblical Studies, Theology, and Church History to help us figure what God means for real life. This episode is a Dead Good Dead Guy: Mark Earngey, head of church history at Moore Theological College, introduces us to the English reformer John Ponet. </p> <p>There might be some unfamiliar characters and terms in this episode. A couple of tips to help you out: Thomas Cranmer was the first Archbishop of the church of England, "Tyrannicide" means killing a tyrant or lawless ruler and "humanism" in the 16th century was more like studying "humanities" than like modern "secular humansm." </p> <p>After the episode read <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+4%3A1-22&version=NIV">Acts 4:1-22</a> and <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+13&version=NIV">Romans 13:1-7</a>. What do those passages, and the lessons learned from John Ponet, mean for your attitude to authority? And are there disputes or contexts where you need to be more flexible on for the sake of the gospel? Or issues where need to take a firmer stand for the sake of the gospel?</p> <p>For more from Mark on the Reformation, see his book (edited with Jonathan Gibson) <a href="https://www.wtsbooks.com/products/reformation-worship-jonathan-earngey-gibson-9781948130219?variant=9806229110831">Reformation Worship: Liturgies from the Past for the Present</a>. </p> <p>Created with Zencastr and anchor.fm.

Paul, Philosophy & Knowledge - Edwin Judge
<p>God on the ground explores Biblical Studies, Theology, and Church History to help us figure out what God means for real life. This episode is a Bible Bamboozler: <a href="https://www.mq.edu.au/about/about-the-university/the-macquarie-story/macquarie-at-a-glance/emeriti-honour-roll/emeritus-professor-edwin-judge-am">Emeritus Professor Edwin Judge</a> (the first Professor of History in the field of Ancient History) takes us through ancient philosophy and the apostle Paul.</p> <p>After the episode read Acts 17:16-34. If you were an Epicurean, how would this challenge your outlook? What about if you were a Stoic? And how does it challenge your own perspective?</p> <p>For more on this, hunt down Edwin's recent essay collection (edited by James Harrison) <a href="https://booko.com.au/9781532610004/Paul-and-the-Conflict-of-Cultures">Paul and the Conflict of Cultures</a>, especially the chapter "Paul and Greek Philosophy." For a more detailed comparison of Paul's worldview to that of major philosophical movements and figures in the ancient world, try <a href="https://www.ivpress.com/paul-and-the-giants-of-philosophy">Paul and the Giants of Philosophy</a> edited by Dodson and Briones.</p> <p>Created with anchor.fm.

Augustine - Rachel Ciano
<p>God on the ground explores Biblical Studies, Theology, and Church History to help us figure out what God means for real life. This episode is a Dead Good Dead Guy: Rachel Ciano, a church history lecturer at Sydney Missionary and Bible College introduces us to St Augustine of Hippo.</p> <p>After the episode read <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+5&version=NIV">Romans 5.</a> What does it tell you about sin and grace? </p> <p>To go further on Augustine, start with Confessions. You'll find decent editions in any decent bookshop & all the online/ebook stores, and plenty of libraries have physical and digital copies for loan. I like the <a href="https://www.amazon.com.au/Confessions-Maria-Boulding/dp/034074538X">Boulding </a>translation, but you might also try <a href="https://www.amazon.com.au/Confessions-Oxford-Worlds-Classics-ebook/dp/B00AAW5EDG">Chadwick </a>or the <a href="https://www.penguin.com.au/books/confessions-9780140441147">Penguin Classics</a> edition (you can find <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/1101.htm">Confessions free online</a>, but the translation is older and not so nice to read). You can also find <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/1502.htm">On the Spirit and the Letter</a> online, as well as Augustine's other works. </p> <p>For works about Augustine, you might try <a href="https://www.amazon.com.au/Augustine-Hippo-Biography-Peter-Brown/dp/0520280415/ref=pd_aw_sbs_14_1/357-0538616-2140717?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0520280415&pd_rd_r=77b18d11-31a7-4761-a2ac-b03e55e17ef3&pd_rd_w=yjh0Q&pd_rd_wg=y7hzX&pf_rd_p=8942c796-9d3c-4609-8b81-028d0d5f8454&pf_rd_r=MABG319AF8QAGY12SEKE&psc=1&refRID=MABG319AF8QAGY12SEKE">Peter Brown's classic biography</a> or the more recent (and sometimes more affordable) biography by Robin Lane Fox - <a href="https://booko.com.au/9780241950753/Augustine-Conversions-and-Confessions">Augustine: Confessions and Conversions</a>. For something shorter (but a bit older), try Chadwick's <a href="https://booko.com.au/9780199588060/Augustine-of-Hippo">Augustine of Hippo: A Life.</a></p> <p>Created with Zencastr and anchor.fm.
