| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Brandon Vaat, the host and the senior publishing |
| 0:10.4 | director at Word on Fire. Today we have another one of our exciting Bishop Baron presents |
| 0:16.0 | conversations to share with you. If you remember, this is a series where Bishop Baron has |
| 0:20.9 | intellectually invigorating discussions with people from varying religious and political |
| 0:26.1 | perspectives. The goal is to encourage greater understanding and civility, basically to have |
| 0:31.4 | two smart people have a serious charitable dialogue. And we all know we need more of that today. |
| 0:36.7 | Today he is talking with Professor Robert George. Professor George is an American legal scholar, |
| 0:43.0 | political philosopher, well-known public intellectual. He's one of my personal heroes. I not only admire |
| 0:49.4 | Professor George's intellect, but the charitable way he engages with his intellectual opponents. |
| 0:54.8 | In this discussion with Bishop Baron, he discusses the natural law, that's one of the topics he's |
| 1:01.0 | most famous for, along with the so-called woke phenomena and how we can ingrain virtue in our society |
| 1:08.5 | today. So it's really important, a really exciting and invigorating discussion. I think you'll like |
| 1:13.4 | it a lot. Before we get there though, I want to tell you about the exciting launch of Bishop |
| 1:18.2 | Baron's newest film and book. They both go together. The film is titled The Creed. The Creed. |
| 1:25.5 | It includes six lessons filmed at some of the historic missions around the California area. |
| 1:31.2 | And the lessons are pretty substantial. Each one, each video I think is around 45 minutes, |
| 1:36.0 | 50 minutes long. And they walk through almost line by line the entire nice scene creed. |
| 1:42.2 | We also have Bishop Baron's newest book, which is titled Light from Light, a theological reflection |
| 1:48.9 | on the nice scene creed, which does the same thing as the film, but even more extensively. It's a |
| 1:54.9 | smart, high level, but accessible understanding of what Christians believe and why. So if you have |
| 2:02.6 | a loved one, a friend, a coworker, maybe a child or a grandchild who's smart, but skeptical |
| 2:09.4 | about Christianity, who thinks it's kind of nonsense. It doesn't know what to make of it. |
