Classical Theism Podcast

Author: John DeRosa Language: Afar Episodes: 100
Hosted by John DeRosa, the Classical Theism Podcast engages in thoughtful dialogue to explore and uphold the intellectual foundations of the Catholic Christian tradition. Each episode features conversations with a range of guests, focusing on three core tenets: the existence of the God of classical theism, the identity of Jesus as Messiah and Lord, and the historical establishment of the Catholic Church. While addressing all three, the podcast deliberately emphasizes rigorous philosophical defense of the first pillar-classical theism. This approach is deeply informed by the Thomistic philosophical tradition, frequently drawing from the work of thinkers like Dr. Edward Feser, while also engaging with many other voices and perspectives. Listeners will find a space where deep, historical reasoning meets contemporary discussion, offering a substantive examination of ideas that have shaped centuries of spiritual and intellectual history. It’s a series for those curious about the rational underpinnings of faith, seeking conversations that move beyond soundbites into the heart of perennial questions. The Classical Theism Podcast provides that forum, making complex philosophical and theological concepts accessible and relevant within the context of modern challenges and inquiries.
