Ukraine and Russia: History and the Theology of Nationalism
With the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Glenn thought it a good time for a history lesson on Ukraine and Russia. As you might expect, he started over 1000 years ago, but noted especially more recent history and why the Ukrainians want to get out from under Russian domination. Along the way, he noted some genuine problems with Ukraine and their treatment of Russian minorities, part and parcel of the messy way borders work in Central and Eastern Europe. The guys finish with a discussion of the theological significance of nations, noting that they seem to survive in a purified form into eternity.

Thank you. As always, this was valuable and much needed information for understanding important current events. I have learned a tremendous amount from listening to your podcast over the past few years. The knowledge of my ignorance increases exponentially as does my “to read” booklist for which I am grateful. My theology has matured, my faith has deepened, and my ability to present the truth, goodness, and beauty of God’s redemptive plan to my logic and rhetoric humanities students has improved. Your service to Christ’s kingdom is a blessing.
With gratitude,
Mrs. Michelle Cockerham
