I have really been enjoying Rooted In Revelation Podcast (Facebook page here) this past year. It is a podcast that touch on theology, apologetics and Christian living. This is hosted by Nate Burns.
There’s a recent show on the topic of Christianity and the study of history based upon Dr. Poythress’ new book (pictured above).
Here’s the description Nate provided:
How does knowledge of the past shape Christians’ views of God, Christ’s redemption, and humanity as a whole? In his new book, Vern S. Poythress teaches Christians how to study and write about the past by emphasizing God’s own command to remember his works and share them with the next generation. Readers will explore concepts such as providentialism, Christian historiography, divine purpose, and the 4 basic phases of biblical history: creation, fall, redemption, and consummation. By learning how to appropriately study history, believers will begin to recognize God’s lordship over all events and how even minor incidents fit into his overarching plan. Excellent Resource for Seminary Students, Pastors, and Historians: Poythress explains how to write about history, understand God’s divine purposes, explore history in the Bible, and more Applicable: Teaches readers how to glorify God by recognizing his deeds throughout history Biblical and Informative: Outlines 4 phases of history and connects them to Christ’s redemption
I enjoyed how Nate’s pastor also was in the show for the interview.

Wow praying your 8 hours driving would be safe to where you need to travel to
Thanks. Driving home from St. Louis. Going to a baseball game tonight then hitting the road in the morning.
I listened to the episode with Vern Poythress and it was great. Then listened to the two before that one and they are both excellent as well. Looking forward to listening to more episodes as I have time.
Good point that studying history is about remembering God’s works and sharing them with others.
Amen when it is God centered I think it leads to worship and history is meaningful! Amen to your comment about sharing with others!!!
Amen.
And amen! Have a blessed day just prayed for God to sustain her health
