Episode Synopsis

Reading and studying history not only enriches our knowledge, but gives us a deeper humility as we seek to understand the nuances and complexities of a story. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Matthew Tuininga, Professor of Ethics and the History of Christianity, in anticipation of a new book. This new book is entitled "The Wars of the Lord: The Puritan Conquest of America's First People" and is published by Oxford University Press.
How does an ethicist and historian write a book that focuses on both the political and religious aspects of a complex period of history? During this interview by MDiv Student, Leah Jolly, Tuininga discusses his personal story and describes his writing process. He seeks to teach listeners the value of humility as they study history.
