AMDG. Mike Aquilina—vice president of the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology, author of more than 50 books, homeschool father, and expert in Church history—joins Bonnie, Steven, and Jordan today for a discussion about the pre- and post-Incarnation world. The conversation includes lessons to be drawn from the apostolic fathers, the Church’s indispensable role in the development of charitable institutions, and the idea that to learn history is to cease to be a protestant. Along the way, Mike’s references and connections range from the philosopher Nietzsche to the rock and roll hall of famer Dion.
