Episode 25 - Metaphysics Affects Everything

What do such metaphysical concepts as Nominalism, Realism, and Voluntarism have to do with the trans movement, woke politics, and anxiety about one’s salvation? You’ll find out on this week’s episode of Canterbury Trails, as hosts C. Jay Engel and Jared Lovell welcome back to the show Dr. Thomas Price to discuss these matters and much more. Don’t overlook this one just because it sounds too abstract or difficult. It’s important to think through these things; and you’ll learn in this episode that you ought to have at least a rudimentary understanding of what’s going on behind the scenes. Why? Because these metaphysical concepts play into everything, including modern politics, the sacraments, the liturgy, your personal spiritual development, and your understanding of the Grace of God in the Christian life. Dr. Tom Price is Adjunct Professor of Christian Thought at Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary, where he teaches Theology, Christian Ethics, and Apologetics. He also teaches Theology, Religion, Ethics, and Philosophy at several other institutions. He is ordained and has served the church in a host of teaching, preaching, and equipping engagements. Dr. Price is also one of the co-hosts of The Theology Pugcast. He resides in Connecticut with his wife and two sons.
