How can Christians engage meaningfully with history? Contemporary Western culture, underpinned by the idea that life is about self-invention and fulfilment, holds that the past has little to teach us. We live in an age that historian Sarah Irving-Stonebraker terms the "Ahistoric Age," in which we are profoundly disconnected from history. To appear relevant, the church often embraces this ahistoric worldview by jettisoning the historic ideas and practices of Christian formation. But this has unintended consequences, leaving Christians unmoored from history and losing the ability to grapple with its ethical complexities.
This is an excerpt from Sarah Irving-Stonebraker's conversation with Hank Hanegraaff, the host of the 𝘉𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘈𝘯𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘔𝘢𝘯 broadcast and the 𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘜𝘯𝘱𝘭𝘶𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘥 podcast, to discuss what it means to be a priest of history and why it matters more than ever for Christians to maintain this critical conversation with the past." from the video introduction
