The show usually is recorded in a pub--that's why there is some background noise on occasion. The topics can vary widely seeing as the Pugsters have different spheres of knowledge and interest, but common themes which appear regularly include the transcendence of God and the meaningfulness of His creation.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-08T18:19:49.635117+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-theology-pugcast-696088"},"episode":{"title":"Empiricist Deformations of Augustinian Theology","slug":"empiricist-deformations-of-augustinian-theology","published_at":"2026-01-05T08:37:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-theology-pugcast-696088/empiricist-deformations-of-augustinian-theology","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-theology-pugcast-696088","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-theology-pugcast/episodes/Empiricist-Deformations-of-Augustinian-Theology-e3d4tjn","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/930b87c/podcast/play/113456183/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-0-3%2F415433823-44100-2-4d6c663ab8194.mp3","summary":"In this episode the Pugs engage some of the theological roots that gave rise and shape to Western empiricism, especially in the Scottish Tradition of David Hume. In particular, they engage how the pessimistic view of fallen human reason take on a distorted shape when severed from the rich theological setting of Augustine's theology, and then lead to secular reappropriations by secular thinkers like Hume and others.
