Whether we’re thinking of the ubiquitous Romeo and Juliet unit in ninth grade, later high-school tragedies, or perhaps even a play or two in college, in our moment the Bard shows up in school, and then some might go and see a play in a theater. In… [Listen](https://episodes.castos.com/62606055986397-20842277/2554333/c1e-7rzk6fvn1kxid6mx6-jpkngd81s79g-fet0ks.mp3) ## [Christian Humanist Profiles Episode 280: Ian Hunter](https://christianhumanisprofiles.castos.com/episodes/christian-humanist-profiles-episode-280-ian-hunter) _2026-07-27 · thechristianhumanist@gmail.com (The Christian Humanists) · Christian Humanist Profiles_ I first learned about Pierre Hadot in a John Milbank book, and ever since I’ve read everything of his that I could get my hands on. Hadot’s revolutionary power resides not in a particular claim or argument but in a method: he investigates Plato and the Stoics and eventually even Wittgenstein as shapers of lives, teachers who lead disciples into new ways of life through philosophical disciplines.… [Listen](https://episodes.castos.com/62606055986397-20842277/2547502/c1e-r2kd7uo4w0gb2kpqk-479xxvxnfj14-edrb2s.mp3) ## [Christian Humanist Profiles Episode 279: Philip Ziegler](https://christianhumanisprofiles.castos.com/episodes/christian-humanist-profiles-episode-279-philip-ziegler) _2026-07-20 · thechristianhumanist@gmail.com (The Christian Humanists) · Christian Humanist Profiles_ I’ve spent a fair bit of my professional life among devils. Dante’s gigantic Satan never was much of a talker, but Marlowe’s Mephistopheles and Goethe’s diminished version of Mephisto never shut up. Milton’s Satan lies so much he convinces himself, and the strange devil who visits Ivan in The Brothers Karamazov remains a logic-chopping favorite. But as much time as I spend with literary devils,… [Listen](https://episodes.castos.com/62606055986397-20842277/2537521/c1e-4o716t86dx7aop1xp-9j2nx9vmfqn1-dvmnav.mp3) ## [1001 Nights, Nights 107-145](https://before-they-were-live.castos.com/episodes/1001-nights-nights-107-145) _2026-07-02 · beforetheywerelive@gmail.com (Josh Altmanshofer) · Before They Were Live_ Josh and Michial wrap up the story of King Umar and his family--and much to their surprise, the loose ends get tied up.

One of his graduate students taught me philosophy and theology, and I worked as a research assistant for one of his Yale classmates.

Whether the text implies that a battle never actually happened or just moves the battles so far out of the narrative’s zone of attention that they’re rendered unimportant, Revelation as a narrative never says that the disciples of Jesus don’t need to be killers because God… [Listen](https://episodes.castos.com/62606055986397-20842277/2326462/c1e-x7x83h159j0un79z7-pkwg5x6wspox-pbvesm.mp3) ## [Christian Humanist Profiles Episode 276: Gabriel Said Reynolds](https://christianhumanisprofiles.castos.com/episodes/christian-humanist-profiles-episode-276-gabriel-said-reynolds) _2026-01-12 · thechristianhumanist@gmail.com (The Christian Humanists) · Christian Humanist Profiles_ Stories of spiritual origins often begin as the new way emerges against the dominant traditions of the region. Thus Siddhartha grows up among the Brahmins and Moses among the Egyptians. Joseph Smith and Elijah Muhammad, each in his own way, emerges among American Protestants. But what about the much older, Arabian Muhammad?

Many a hallway story involves a moment when a teacher’s plans became irrelevant and the teacher responded. Sometimes in these stories we… [Listen](https://episodes.castos.com/62606055986397-20842277/2082034/c1e-kjpdgfgg30vf94vj4-mkj04nz0tj5p-fgsay9.mp3) ## [Christian Humanist Profiles 274: Bethany Mannon](https://christianhumanisprofiles.castos.com/episodes/christian-humanist-profiles-274-bethany-mannon) _2025-07-21 · thechristianhumanist@gmail.com (The Christian Humanists) · Christian Humanist Profiles_ Ask six Americans what the adjective or the noun “evangelical” means, and you’ll get as many answers.

That’s been a guiding principle for me as I’ve read and heard about all kinds of things I’ve never seen. I know some folks prefer David Hume’s assumption that anything that doesn’t resemble closely enough what one has witnessed directly is more likely delusion or deception than real testimony, and I know others would just as soon dismiss the… [Listen](https://episodes.castos.com/62606055986397-20842277/2082025/c1e-mgk1zuqq7mkawq84q-v641dkjpsnxq-7wga6n.mp3) ## [1001 Nights, Episode 1: Nights 1-19](https://before-they-were-live.castos.com/episodes/1001-nights-episode-1-nights-1-19) _2025-06-05 · beforetheywerelive@gmail.com (Josh Altmanshofer) · Before They Were Live_ Josh and Michial are back to talk about five stories from the first nineteen nights: - Prologue - "The Vizier and the Sage Duban" - "The Envier and the Envied" - "The Eldest Lady's Story" - "The Doorkeeper's Story" [Listen](https://episodes.castos.com/62606055986397-20842277/2058313/c1e-g5pkrcmv2pgf216g7-7z3j72nwup2-sfgqio.mp3) ## [Just-So Stories, Episode 2](https://before-they-were-live.castos.com/episodes/just-so-stories-episode-2) _2025-04-08 · beforetheywerelive@gmail.com (Josh Altmanshofer) · Before They Were Live_ This month (a little late) we finish up our brief series on Kipling's Just-So Stories .
