Welcome to FORMA, a podcast featuring conversations with authors, teachers, creators, and leaders who are carefully contemplating the intersection of classical thought and contemporary culture.
In this episode David chats with Dr. Jeremy Begbie about his new book A Peculiar Orthodoxy: Reflections on Theology and the Arts, which emphasizes "the role of a biblically grounded creedal orthodox as he shows how Christian theology and the arts can enrich each other." Topics of conversation include the origin of Dr. Begbie's love of music, his path to the Christian faith, his misgivings with contemporary Christian arts scholarship, music education, the value of the arts in worship, and much more.
