Sunday (with Jack Franicevich)
Jack Franicevich, a deacon and curate at Cornerstone Valparaiso and adjunct professor of writing at Valparaiso University, joins me to discuss his new book, Sunday. We talk about the scriptural teaching concerning the Sabbath, and how it relates to and can inform Christian understandings of Sunday, and of time more generally.
Digital Liturgies (with Samuel James)
Digital Liturgies: Rediscovering Christian Wisdom in an Online Age is a superb new book by Samuel James. Within it he explores some of the ways that the Internet, especially social media, is shaping us and what we might do about this. It is very readable and accessible and will be valuable for a wide audience. He joins me to discuss it.

Andrew Wilson, one of the hosts of Mere Fidelity, has (another!) new must-read book, Remaking the World: How 1776 Created the Post-Christian West. We discuss his book and the significance of the late eighteenth century for understanding the world we live in.
