Overcoming Our Ahistoric Age

Overcoming Our Ahistoric Age

Author: The Gospel Coalition, Collin Hansen September 24, 2024 Duration: 46:09
Collin Hansen and Dr. Sarah Irving-Stonebraker discuss her journey from atheism to Christianity, the integration of faith in historical scholarship, and her book, Priests of History: Stewarding the Past in an Ahistoric Age.

In a world that often feels unsteady, Gospelbound offers conversations grounded in something deeper. Host Collin Hansen, with The Gospel Coalition, sits down each week with thoughtful guests to explore how historic Christian faith speaks into our current moment. These discussions aren't theoretical; they're about the actual books people are reading, the ideas shaping our culture, and the practical challenge of living out conviction when the ground seems to shift. This podcast recognizes the particular anxieties of a post-Christian context but refuses to be defined by them, turning instead to the resources of the gospel for clarity and hope. You'll hear a focus on enduring truth, but the tone is far from detached-it's engaged, curious, and built for anyone who wants their faith to be both thoughtful and resilient. The result is a series of dialogues that feel like a necessary pause, a chance to consider how a centuries-old story provides a surprisingly fresh compass for life today. Tune in for a perspective that is both timely and intentionally rooted beyond the headlines.
