• Ep 224: John’s Knowledge of Matthew, Mark, and Luke with Mark Goodacre

  In this episode I talk with Dr. Mark Goodacre, professor of religious studies at Duke University, about his brand-new book The Fourth Synoptic Problem: John’s Knowledge of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, where he argues that John knew and used the Synoptic narratives when composing his gospel. Mark explains the problems with the Q theory and why so many scholars have built a firewall between John and the Synoptics. We then explore why he believes John knew the Synoptics. John seems to presuppose the Synoptic narratives, turns Synoptic stories into speech, and dramatizes the Synoptic presentation of Jesus. We also discuss how John’s Christology is in continuity with the Synoptics, how Goodacre’s work impacts our understanding of the date and authorship of John, and helpful resources for people who want to learn more about the Synoptic problem.  Media Referenced:Mark Goodacre Website: https://markgoodacre.org/The NT Pod: https://podacre.blogspot.com/Buy The Fourth Synoptic Gospel: https://a.co/d/1QlHsV6Mark Goodacre YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@podacreJames Barker interview: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-181-how-the-gospel-writers-copied-each-other-with-james-barker/Jesus and Divinity in the Gospels: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-213-jesus-the-divine-messiah-and-gospel-trajectories/ The Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.

• Ep 223: The Social Consequences of Inflation with Jeff Degner

  In this episode I talk with Dr. Jeffery Degner, economist at Cornerstone University and fellow at The Mises Institute, about the impact of inflation on American society. He explains how inflation is the artificial expansion of the money supply and is controlled by the Federal Reserve. This leads to higher prices and the business cycle but benefits the wealthiest asset holders. He describes the United States as having an ‘inflation culture’ and explains how inflation hurts families, working people, and the poor. We explore how it has led to cultural degeneracy, a reliance on debt and credit, rampant consumerism, and other social evils. We discuss the impact of inflation on the church and why Christians should take this issue seriously. Media Referenced:Follow Jeff on X: @DrJeffDegnerInflation and the Family: https://a.co/d/8FvtJdABob Murphy Interview: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-215-the-federal-reserve-with-bob-murphy/ The Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.

• Ep 222: Why Christians Should Be Leftists with Phil Christman

  In this episode I talk with Phil Christman. Phil teaches writing at the University of Michigan and is author of the brand-new Why Christians Should Be Leftists, out now on Eerdmans Press. In this book he argues for the compatibility of left-wing politics and Christianity, making the case that Christians should be naturally inclined to leftism. We discuss his journey into leftist thought, deconstruction, the problems with both the Christian right and the DNC, his concerns about capitalism, liberalism, and libertarianism, why he thinks socialism is compatible with Jesus’s teaching, and how leftism understands work and power. We also discuss, in light of the Charlie Kirk assassination, how Christians from different perspectives can learn to have better conversations. Media Referenced:Why Christians Should Be Leftists: https://a.co/d/cSwkKvcPhil’s Website: https://philipchristman.com/Phil’s Substack: https://philipchristman.substack.com/ The Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.

• Ep 221: Why I Am Protestant with Beth Felker Jones

  In this episode I talk with Dr. Beth Felker Jones. Dr. Jones teaches theology at Northern Seminary and is the author of the brand-new book Why I am a Protestant, out now on IVP. In this book she defends the Protestant tradition, explaining both its strengths and challenges. We discuss Sola Scriptura, debates between Catholics and Protestants, how many people get Protestantism wrong, and why she believes the label still matters. We also discuss how Christians from different traditions can engage in productive dialogue and what is unique about Protestantism.  Media Referenced:Why I Am Protestant: https://a.co/d/fUKy6r5Beth Felker Jones Substack: https://bethfelkerjones.substack.com/Why I am Catholic interview with Matthew Levering: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-149-roman-catholicism-the-pope-mary-the-eucharist-and-ecumenicism-with-matthew-levering/ The Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.
