In this second part of this Science and Faith series, your hosts take on one of the biggest sticking points between faith and science: The origins of the universe and of humanity. Elliot begins by telling a story of how a class on evolution nearly pushed him into atheism until an Old Testament professor taught him to read Genesis "literarily, not literally." The hosts then look at the two creation stories in Genesis and come to the conclusion that a literal “six-day creation” was never the traditional reading. Along the way, they talk about Galileo, the "firmament," divine accommodation, and how a Latin mistranslation of Romans 5:12 helped shape the doctrine of original sin. They close by declaring that these holy and ancient stories are really about who God is and who we are, and they set up next week's conversation with Franciscan nun and noted scientist Sister Ilia Delio. Some resources mentioned in this episode: Paula Fredriksen, “Sin: The Early History of an Idea” (2012).“AlphaGo” (2017). A film that is available online.The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, 1978.The Latin Vulgate's reading of Romans 5:12 ("in whom all have sinned").Also, check out these earlier Cross Connections episodes on Genesis and reading the Bible: Genesis: The Beginning (1-21)Genesis: The Beginning (1-21) BONUS ContentGenesis: Chapters 22-50 (end)How do I read the Bible?[BONUS] Answering your Bible QuestionsThank you for listening to Cross Connections.

Today we begin a new series on faith and science, where we look at whether these two disciplines are compatible, how the intersection of faith and science have personally affected the three hosts, and whether Rick can prove the existence of God with some fancy astrophysics. As the hosts mention in the episode, science and faith is a regular topic among young people and people struggling with their faith. While some may assume that one can’t “believe in science” while also being a Christian, there are many Christians who think that actually…you can. In the second episode in this three-part series, we’ll talk about the origins of the universe and of humanity, and in the final episode we’ll talk to scientist and Franciscan nun, Sr. Ilia Delio on how science and faith can inform each other. Here are some resources mentioned in this episode: “Faith Unraveled” (formerly “Evolving in Monkey Town”) and “Searching for Sunday” by Rachel Held Evans. “Just Six Numbers” by Lord Martin Rees.

Today we close out our series on the short book by Rowan Williams, “Tokens of Trust.” This book, written by a former Archbishop of Canterbury, is another great introduction to Christianity which bases itself in our Creeds. This series is intentionally timed to run concurrent with St. David’s Adult and Youth Forum on the Trinity, but if you can’t be at those conversations, this is a great place to start learning. Join our hosts, the Rev. Rick Morley, Natalee Hill, and Elliot VanHoy as we close out with chapters five and six of “Tokens of Trust” focusing on the final part of our creeds. It mentions the Holy Spirit, but is that what it is about? And if this isn’t about the third person of the Holy Trinity, The Holy Spirit, what is it about? Why does the Church matter so much, and can we trust the Church in the same way that we can trust God and Jesus Christ? Thank you for listening to Cross Connections.

Is there a right way to read the Bible? Those who have studied in seminaries like Princeton Theological Seminary (such as our own Elliot VanHoy and the Rev.

C.S. Lewis saves what might be his most ambitious section for last. Book IV, Beyond Personality: or First Steps in the Doctrine of the Trinity, tackles the Trinity, the nature of time, and what it means to become a Christian — not just a nicer person, but a fundamentally new kind of human being. What's in Book IV Lewis opens by distinguishing between making and begetting — a move that sets Jesus apart from the rest of humanity. From there, he uses dimensions for understanding the Trinity, then pivots to one of the book's most striking ideas: God exists entirely outside our linear experience of time. Every moment — past, future, and present — is simultaneously visible to God. This is far more interesting than predetermination. In the second half, Lewis argues that Christianity spreads like an infection — a good one — and that pretending to be good is actually how you start becoming good. He closes with a vision of humanity not just improved, but entirely remade: a new evolution, but one you have to choose. What we loved The chapter on time hit hard. The standard answer to "what happens after death?" is an extended version of the life we already have — but Lewis shifts that thinking entirely. The Kingdom of God isn't a longer line, it's the whole page. This reframe has implications for how God could know our choices without determining them, and we realize that C.S. Lewis comes up with this from a long line of similar thought – this same understanding can be found in the Holy Eucharist and in the architecture of cathedrals. The "Nice People" chapter also generated a lot of discussion. It's essential reading for anyone who's been burned by the institutional church or walked away because of the hypocrites in the pews. Lewis's point: Christianity was never about producing nice people. It's about a new creation. And ironically, those who consider themselves "already good" may have the hardest road ahead. The opening defense of theology as a discipline landed for us too. Personal experience matters — but theology is the accumulated map of everyone's experiences before yours. Dismissing it means navigating without the map. What gave us pause Lewis's treatment of the Lord's Prayer feels forced, shoehorning his "pretending" concept in a way that doesn't quite hold up. His misogyny is also real — even accounting for his era, you have to actively read aroundn it. His claim that you alone can stop God's work in your life runs against Paul's argument in Romans 8. If Christ is truly Lord of all, the human will seems like a pretty small obstacle. (Interestingly, Lewis handles this better in his fiction than in his theology.) Our rating: 3 out of 5 — Brilliant in places, dated in others, and probably due for a modern rewrite. If you want to keep reading: Being Christian — N.T. WrightHelp My Unbelief — Fleming Rutledge (sermons; very much in the spirit of this book)The Reason for God — Tim Keller (recommended with some reservation)Thank you for listening to this episode of Cross Connections.

What does it mean to live well and what gets in the way? In this third part of our four-part series on C.S. Lewis’s “Mere Christianity” our hosts discuss “Christian Behavior.” Rick, Natalee, and Elliot start off with a review of these twelve chapters, including: Lewis discusses how Christians should live, but it never makes any references to Scripture. What is morality?What are the cardinal virtues and how do we follow them?What does social morality look like and how does it impact politicsWhy psychoanalysis (which was a popular topic at the time) isn’t in conflict with Christianity. What C.S. Lewis doesn’t like about Freud. Sexual morality and Christian marriage (as told by an unmarried man)The difficulty of true forgiveness“The Greatest Sin” (spoiler – it’s pride. Find out why.)“Theological Virtues” of charity, hope, and faith – and what was so unique about faith that needed two chapters.Our hosts then turn to what the lessons were in this section and what some of the problem areas are when reading it in a modern context. The conversation covered: More about “The Greatest Sin” – Pride. How vices and virtues are at the heart of Lewis’s understanding of morality. Lewis’ unorthodox but compelling views of heaven and hell, including how individual actions compound upon eternity.The problems reading Lewis in a modern world including his limited understanding of love and marriage, his homophobia, and his misogyny. Despite any issues, the hosts end with one lesson each that they think readers could take away from this section of the book. Rick: “Part of the human condition is our brokenness, but there was one person who wasn’t broken and is our model for life: Jesus Christ.” Natalee: “Being a Christian takes work and constant reconnection with call and community.” Elliot: “Virtues are not cages; they’re pathways to true freedom.” Two books recommended this week were: N.T. Wright’s “Jesus and the Victory of God” and “Surprised by Hope.” If you order through these links from St. David’s Bookshop site, each order supports St. David’s International Outreach ministries.

On today's episode... C.S. Lewis wrote a series of radio programs in the late 1930s as England was mired in World War II. In response to the everyday person's struggle with the concerns of the time, and of all time, Lewis proposes Christianity as the sensible response. Listen in as we discuss what C.S. Lewis proposes and talk about the ways it does or does not still relate to us today. This is part two of our four-part series. Today, we dive into the section that Lewis has titled, “What Christians Believe.” This section starts by discussing other religions and what they believe about God. It then moves into Lewis’s description of how Christianity is different from any of these. The show graphic for this episode is Elliot’s whiteboard drawing of these various concepts, and you can see the full image if you’re on our email list. Lewis has a particular opinion on how he believes Christians see the world as one “invaded” by an evil force. We talk about this and how the imagery does and doesn’t land so well today. Lewis also talks about the centrality of Christ’s death and resurrection and how they “work.” Thank you for listening to this episode of Cross Connections.

Today, we give some background for Lewis’s life and the timing of the radio program. We then dive into the first part of his book and how he begins to frame his apologetics (arguments) for Christianity. Thank you for listening to this episode of Cross Connections.

On today's episode... What is Easter? Not just bunnies and eggs. Why is it when it is in the year and how do we place this “Movable feast”. Then we get into how Jesus’ resurrection is different than the revivifications that happen elsewhere in the Bible. We discuss the earliest documentation of the resurrection story, especially how Paul writes about it in his letters. We also talk about whether it is reasonable to believe that “this really happened” and talk about different ways to understand thesestories. We discuss perspectives of N.T. Wright, Dale Allison, and Bart Ehrman. Elliot specifically mentions Dale Allison’s book, “The Resurrection of Jesus: Apologetics, Polemics, History,” which you can find on our Bookshop site. We close by talking about what it means to live, as Christians, in a world post resurrection, centering on recalling the resurrection every Sunday and our call to bring “God’s kingdom come on earth as in heaven.” Thank you for listening to this episode of Cross Connections.

On today's episode... We finish our series of episodes on the worship services of Holy Week. Today we discuss the Great Vigil of Easter (Easter Vigil), the last of three services called the Triduum. We discuss not only what the service is about but its meanings. Why is there a fire? What is the prayer to the candle about? Why so many readings? Why are we celebrating Easter at night, shouldn’t it be in the morning? Most of all, why would anyone come to this service? Up next: Next Wednesday we will release an episode on the Resurrection and what it means for us. We look forward to seeing you for worship during Holy Week and Easter! Tonight is Tenebrae and we’ve got services all week leading up to Easter Sunday, April 5. Learn more at ⁠⁠⁠https://stdavidschurch.org/easter/ and see you in church!
