How Did We Get to Here: The Enlightenment verses “Right-Brain Rising”? - Ep 1.3
Show Notes

In this conversation, Tom & Bill answer the question: How did we get to this place communicatively in the twenty-first century? The discuss will offer some brief descriptions of Christian communication prior to the Enlightenment and then delve into how the Enlightenment played such a critical role in reshaping the nature of thinking and communication. With that established, we can then explore how things are changing today and what we mean by the “right-brain” rising. The goal will be to provide broad categories of how epistemological shifts have occurred and how relevant those are to us today as we engage God’s word and seek to share it. We will need to openly acknowledge these developments have been, broadly speaking, within the Western world, but have had massive impact on Majority World contexts as well.
