016: Faith and Reason through Christian History with Grant Kaplan, Ph.D.
Mar 21, 2023
Charles talks with Grant Kaplan, Ph.D. about his new book Faith and Reason through Christian History: A Theological Essay. Kaplan's book covers an extraordinary breadth with clarity and verve. Each section surfaces the complexities of several crucial thinkers in clear, generous treatments. Kaplan resists imposing any sort of overarching narrative on the scope of his project, but he also resists a bland descriptiveness: his own intellectual judgments are incisive and charitable.
