Dr. Scott Masson and Reforging The Sword of Anduril!

from The Theology Pugcast · host The Theology Pugcast

Today the Pugs welcome Dr. Scott Masson of Tyndale University onto the show. Scott is an Associate Professor of English and an authority on Romanticism. He also is known for his commitment to a recovery of classical learning. Today Scott reflects on the broken relationship between the humanities and theology and the disastrous consequences for higher education. He notes that this strikes right at the heart of the Christian faith because it separates the divine and human natures of the Son of God. He compares this to the broken sword Aduril from The Lord of the Rings and notes that the right ordering of our loves and the restoration of culture won't occur until the sword is reforged in the West. Join us for a great conversation.The Anduril Moment - A Call to Return to Christian Humanism: Dr. Scott Masson’s lecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2IWBJcN5kkDr. Masson’s Substack: https://drscottmasson.substack.com/Paideia Today:  https://www.paideiatoday.com/Recommended videos from Dr. Masson’s YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/c/DrScottMassoni) How the Ideology of the French Revolution Destroyed Human Nature:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEYyIHiA0kEii) The History of Literary Theory (An overview):https://youtu.be/0QsnNzFq9cs?si=yw06YOzRR1R6H0LNiii) The Legacy of Romanticism:https://youtu.be/2-ethRyqhzQ?si=K5KEkrlN0E77izN6iv) The History of Cultural Marxism:  https://youtu.be/lC7q26ddu2k?si=m1R03Cu3fYdDqzDkwww.paideiatoday.comSupport the Theology Pugcast on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thetheologypugcast?fbclid=IwAR17UHhfzjphO52C_kkZfursA_C784t0ldFix0wyB4fd-YOJpmOQ3dyqGf8Learn more about First Pres.
