The following was first published over on The Anchored Argosy Substack. Within the episode I mention the Davenant Institute’s ongoing modernization of The Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity. I also mention Brad Littlejohn’s introduction to the life and work of Richard Hooker.

Why Mordecai Did Not Bow
Every two or three weeks, Susannah and I will post on our free Substack, The Anchored Argosy. Within our posts, we give an update on our news, share some photos, and provide links to recent things we have produced. In each post, I will also usually share some thoughts on a subject that has been on my mind over the period. A while back, I wrote a reflection on the question of why Mordecai did not bow to Haman in the book of Esther. I have now recorded an audio form of the reflection which is available on YouTube and on my podcast.

Conspiracy Theory and Autodidact Brain (with Susannah Roberts and Derek Rishmawy)
The journalist and writer Naomi Wolf recently posted on Twitter about her reading of a New Testament interlinear. Susannah thought it provided a good occasion for a discussion of conspiracy theories and ‘autodidact brain’ and invited Derek Rishmawy to have a conversation with us.
The Transfiguration of Christ (with Patrick Schreiner)
Patrick Schreiner joins me to discuss his wonderful new book, The Transfiguration of Christ: An Exegetical and Theological Reading. Patrick and I also consider how the light of the Transfiguration can illumine Holy Week and Easter.
