This episode is my appearance on the “Reformed Financial Advisor” podcast to discuss the “Saylor Series” and the backstory of how I came to be the editor. I’ve been waiting for months to announce this! I have had the immense privilege of working with well-known podcaster Robert Breedlove (who’s “What Is Money?” show…
[Subtitle] The Fall of Big Data and the Rise of the Blockchain Economy George Gilder is one of my favorite thinkers. He writes coherently and thoughtfully about a rich variety of topics, and a common theme running through much of his thought over the last 30 years is an optimistic “futurism.” He sees important developments…
Phillip Johnson wrote this in 1997 to equip students for the intellectual battle over evolution in philosophy and science. While it discusses a few scientific points, the primary focus is on the philosophical naturalism that often undergirds evolution-affirming science (and which often remains unacknowledged), and how to challenge it. That question–is philosophical naturalism necessarily and inextricably tied…
[Make sure and listen to the podcast episode with Pat, and don’t forget to scroll down for details on how to WIN a copy of the book!] Pat Flynn is one of the most interesting people I’ve ever met, and that fact alone is sufficient proof of the potency of his philosophy–after all, such a response is exactly what one would expect from a person pursuing a lifestyle of generalism. So what is generalism? It’s…
In 1989 Greg Boyd was teaching Christian apologetics at Bethel University. He hadn’t discussed his Christian faith with his father much, if at all, since he’d last tried years before when he was in his late teens and recently converted. So he decided to try a new approach for engaging his 70-year-old skeptic dad in…
For hundreds of years there have been rumors of an undiscovered lost city deep in the jungles of Honduras. Explorers have sought it, and some (fraudulently, it turned out) claimed to have found it. But modern day explorers, using new imaging technology that can scan the jungle from the air and potentially identify non-natural structures…
Kirsten Powers is a self-described liberal Democrat, but she argues forcefully and persuasively that too often the left are anything but liberal–in the classic sense, meaning that they value religious liberty, freedom of speech, and the free exchange of ideas. The “illiberal left,” as she dubs them, instead deal with differing views by going to…
Dr. Tom Nelson is president of Made to Flourish, a non-profit organization focused on helping pastors connect orthodox faith, work, and economics. Tom is also the senior pastor of Christ Community Church in Kansas City. He has served on the Board of Regents of Trinity International University and is on the leadership team of the Oikonomia…
How Music Got Free is a totally fascinating account of the mp3 and how it almost destroyed the music industry. The story begins with a history of the invention of the mp3 by a handful of German scientists. Through trial and error and years of research, they pursued and eventually perfected an algorithm for compressing…
This is a fantastic book for anyone who’s a fan of The Princess Bride. Carey Elwes takes you behind the scenes of one of the most beloved movies in modern times. Apparently William Goldman’s famous fairy tale was incredibly difficult to get greenlit, let alone actually produced, and I shudder to think how different the…
