Episode Details

We're getting hermeneutical with Dan Stiver and Paul Ricoeur.

Dan Stiver is an accomplished Ricoeur scholar and a Baptist theologian. This rare combination means that we have a treat of an episode! He is also the Cook-Derrick Professor of Theology in the Logsdon School of Theology. In this episode Tripp and Dan will tackle the relationship between philosophy and theology in the free church tradition and what it means to be a Christian theologian after Ricoeur.

Plus a discussion on how Ricouer understands:

• the nature of truth
