Miroslav Volf is one of the leading public theologians today. He's a professor of theology at Yale Divinity School and the founding director of the Yale Divinity School for Faith and Culture. But guess what? He's not our guest today. We've had him on previously. Our guest today is a name you will recognize because he and I have sparred back and forth on pronouns, empathy, a beloved biola professor by name of Tim Mulehof.

And you're wondering, why did I introduce Tim Milhoff after Miroslav Volf?

Because Tim and I took a class together where Wolf came out for four days.

And we sat through just some of the most brilliant, insightful teaching and thought,

let's do a podcast together for both of our listeners here at the Think Biblical Podcast

at Winsome Convictions, just some lessons we took away.

And I think they'll enjoy it.

That's the hope.

This is the cool thing about Biola, Sean, is every year to just keep faculty sharp, they bring in some the top theologians,

thinkers, Christian thinkers, and then you can apply, get accepted, and you sit in a class

with your colleagues from all these different disciplines and you do the reading ahead of

time and then they bring in a world class theologian and we got it it was like being back in grad

school but all the cool ways of grad school it was so much fun I took a ton of notes it was personally

enriching I was the first one to turn in my application. I don't mean that as a sense of

pride. I mean, like, I was so pumped that Miroslav Volf was coming that I was like, I got to get

into this thing. So let's jump into really what he's talking about, because he's the head of kind of

the faith and culture center, is how as believers in God do we interact with the world?

And of course, the world can be Christians.

It can be the wider world.

It can be creation itself.

And we need to think about all of those.

So he wrote a piece on why did God create the world?
