Episode 2: Iliad, Book 1
Release Date: 10/22/2023
Description: In this episode of Christ & Classics, Devin and Colton ask why rage takes the center stage in the Iliad. Menelaus rages against Paris. Apollo rages against the Greeks. Agamemnon rages against Achilles. Achilles (especially) rages against Agamemnon. The gods are even angry with one another! What role does anger play within Homer’s epic, and what does it have to do with Zeus’s overarching will seen in the prologue? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/christ--classics/support

Season 2, Episode 12 | The Last Battle by C. S. Lewis
Release Date: 04/13/2024
Description: In this episode of the Christ in Classics podcast, Devin Wilkins and Colton Moore discuss the last book in the Narnia series, The Last Battle by C.S. Lewis. They explore the themes of truth, deception, and the battle for belief. The book begins with the characters Shift and Puzzle deceiving the Narnians by pretending that Puzzle is Aslan. The Narnians are confused and conflicted as they try to discern the truth. The conversation explores the significance of syncretism and the role of Saturnine themes in the story, which point to hope and the transformative power of penitent sorrow and contemplative insight. The episode concludes with a discussion on hope and the portrayal of the new heavens and new earth in the book. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/christ--classics/support

Episode 3: Iliad, Book 2
Release Date: 10/22/2023
Description: In this episode of Christ & Classics, Devin and Colton explore Zeus’s reasoning and will to dupe Agamemnon in a dream, which then results in Agamemnon seeking to deceive his own troops. Why is this? How does this relate to Book 1 and the conflict between Achilles and Agamemnon? Also, Devin and Colton take on the “Catalog of Ships” and question its literary purpose within Homer’s Iliad. Why would Homer spend such detail cataloging all the Greek vessels and the city-states they each represent? How does this relate to Zeus’s vow to Thetis to exalt Achilles over the Achaeans (mainly Agamemnon)? And might the literary function of the “Catalog of Ships” compare to the genealogies we read in the Old Testament? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/christ--classics/support
