Episode 117: AHOCT Interview- Dr. David Bentley Hart
On this episode, Dr David Bentley Hart comes on to discuss his newly released book “Tradition and Apocalypse”, which provides insight into the Christian understanding of and adherence to Church tradition.
Often, a strict adherence to tradition can blind one from the ways which Scripture can be applied to modern issues, and the Church has been subject to this mistake throughout its history.
Additionally, the conversation is capped off with an interesting discourse on the Platonic nature of baseball and advanced statistics’ influence on the modern game.
