In this episode, Devin, Lennox Kalifungwa, Aaron, and Heather discuss how the rise of isolated seminaries and the influence of pietism inadvertently siloed theology away from the broader culture. By looking back at the Reformers and Puritans—who were men of the university rather than standalone seminaries—we explore why theology was historically seen as the unifying core of all human knowledge and learning.
Key Topics Covered:
—How pietism divorced theology from daily culture and public life
—The historical impact of siloing theology into standalone seminaries
—Why the Reformers and Puritans viewed theology as integral to the university
—Restoring "unity" to the concept of the university
