Ben decided it would be a good idea to do another musical parody episode!

We're so sorry. In advance.

We can't quit Tertullian just yet. Let's take a look at some of his shorter works to get a better view of the Carthaginian titan!

You already know that Ben is a nerd about religion. And church history. And Star Wars. And musical theater. And food. But did you know he's ALSO a science nerd??

Well Ben recently chatted with The Average Episcopalian to remove all doubt. zurl.co/P7GvH
Ep. 41 - Searching for God (And for Scientific Evidence) (feat. Rev. Ben Wyatt)
Listen to this episode from The Average Episcopalian on Spotify. Three nerds walk into an Episcopal church… and begin to question whether or not science and religion are compatible. Is that how the joke goes? In this episode, we welcome fellow Episcopalian podcaster (and fellow nerd) Rev. Ben Wyatt to help us tackle our questions about science and Christianity. Ben's degrees in physics, religion, and counseling are put to the test as we grill him on dinosaurs, evolution, and Biblical fundamentalism. We ask questions like… Can I believe in dinosaurs and in Jesus? What is "truth", and how do we find it? How have scientific discoveries influenced the church throughout history? And is Eucharistic Prayer C scientifically accurate? If you're like us, you'll leave this episode feeling slightly less certain but certainly more curious.

Hello there, evening crowd! It's time for a thought-provoking episode as Ben is joined by his friend, Dr. Jonathan Sanchez, so they can continue their favorite pastime: arguing about contemporary biblical scholarship!

Here at In Simeon's Wake, you're not just a passive consumer. You're an active participant.

That's why we are bringing you more of what we know you want: punishingly intricate discussions of contemporary biblical scholarship!

You've learned about Tertullian, and his famously beautiful prose and famously complicated identities. Now it's time to watch him put those skills to use against one of Christianity's most infamous names. Today we cover Against Marcion!

Hey there, evening crowd. Settle in for a nice long night of Latin rhetoric and Christian apologetics. We're covering Tertullian of Carthage! zurl.co/dFslJ

He's here, he's here! The man, the myth, the legend, the greatest insult generator until Martin Luther.

Today on the podcast, we cover the life and times of Tertullian of Carthage!

Hey there, evening crowd.

If you've procrastinated listening to our episode, that's fine.

The subject of today's episode procrastinated writing his book until he died.

Not all gnostics were condemned.

Meet Clement of Alexandria - the "true gnostic" in his own words, and one of the most important personages of Simeon's Wake.

Well, if you still haven't figured out the answer from this morning's post, we'll just tell you: it's the Mandeans.

You should still watch the episode, though.

Pop quiz: which group
1) Is the oldest surviving (so-called) gnostic sect
2) Reveres John the Baptist
3) Loves prayer books
4) Loves introversion

If you can't answer that, you need today's episode.

Hey there evening crowd, what if we told you Jesus had another name?

If you called us Sethians for saying it, you'd be right! Learn about Jesus's secret identity this Friday night.
