Explore Augustine College, a one-year classical Christian program in Ottawa that prepares students to think and live faithfully in a secular age: 🔗 https://pxllnk.co/augustinepodcast In this deeply reflective episode, Dr. John Patrick explores Oliver O'Donovan's groundbreaking work "Resurrection and Moral Order" and its challenge to modern approaches to Christian ethics. He argues that true Christian ethics cannot be separated from the gospel of Jesus Christ, critiquing both moralistic and antinomian approaches that disconnect faith from moral reasoning. Dr. Patrick examines how the resurrection fundamentally changes our understanding of moral order and why secular approaches to ethics education, particularly in medical schools, fall short of creating truly ethical practitioners. 🎬 Watch the video version: https://youtu.be/YzCaSLAuYrc // LINKS // Website: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/ Podcast: https://doctorjohnpatrick.podbean.com/ Biblical Literacy Quiz: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/meaning-metaphor-and-allusion/ Recommended Reading list: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/book-list/ Ask Doctor John: https://www.johnpatrick.ca/ask/ LINKS: https://beacons.ai/doctorjohnpatrick
