Episode description

Dr. Samuel G. Parkison is Associate Director of Theological Studies and Director of the Abu Dhabi Extension Site at Gulf Theological Seminary in the United Arab Emirates, where he lives with his wife (Shannon) and their three sons (Jonah, Henry, and Lewis). 

Before coming to GTS, Samuel was Assistant Professor of Christian Studies at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and Pastor of Teaching and Liturgy at Emmaus Church in Kansas City, Missouri. Samuel writes and researches on a broad range of topics, including Trinitarianism, Christology, soteriology, aesthetics, and philosophy of religion, as well as many issues pertaining to cultural engagement and ethics. He is the author of Revelation and Response and Irresistible Beauty.

In this episode Sam and I discuss his most recent book, Thinking Christianly. We dive into several chapters related to abortion and desire. We also discuss Carl F.H. Henry and empathy. Should we empathize with people who want to sin? Should Christians be whole-life pro-life? How are Christians to think about abortion today? What is the role of desire and confession in the Christian life? When does a desire become sinful?
