Episode: Jonathan Lyonhart joins the podcast to discuss his fictional-philosophical exploration of the life of Moses. Somehow Moses manages to climb each major branch of the philosophical tree in this creative and thoughtful engagement with Exodus. Among other things, we also learn of Jonathan's practical jokes gone wrong.

Lyonhart (PhD, Cambridge) is an Associate Professor of Religion and Philosophy at the University of Jamestown, a Fellow at the Cambridge Center for the Study of Platonism at Cambridge University, and a co-host of the Spiritually Incorrect Podcast.

Episode: In this episode co-host Amy Brown Hughes nerds out with fellow historical theologian J. Warren Smith about what it would be like if a bunch of early Christian theologians hung out for dinner. Smith's new book Early Christian Theology: A History offers us an entrance into the story of the development of early Christian theology that is engaging, winsome, and informative.

Guest: J. Warren Smith is Professor of Historical Theology at Duke Divinity School. He's the author of several books, including Passion and Paradise: Human and Divine Emotion in the Thought of Gregory of Nyssa (Crossroad, 2004), Christian Grace and Pagan Virtue: The Theological Foundation of Ambrose's Ethics (Oxford, 2010), Ambrose, Augustine, and the Pursuit of Greatness (Cambridge, 2020), and the book we're discussing in this episode, Early Christian Theology: A History (Eerdmans, 2026).

Beyond these works, Dr. Smith is turning to a project, tentatively entitled Plato and Christ: Platonism in Early Christian Theology, that will examine the significance of the tradition called "Christian Platonism" for Christianity in a post-modern age.
