Interrogating identity: From philosophical theories to Biblical wisdom - with Chris Watkin
Listen now
Description
We traverse the historical landscape of identity, starting from Descartes' cogito ergo sum or "I think, therefore I am," to the current age where identity has become a commodity.  Chris Watkin, the award-winning author of the Biblical Critical Theory, helps us understand possessive individualism, starting with John Locke, expressive individualism, and how both terms help us grapple with modern identity formation. Plus, we probe into the delicate balance between dignity and humility in the context of human identity.  -For more information about our sponsor Reach Australia's Leadership Development Program click here.  Support the show-- To make a one off contribution to support The Pastor's Heart's ministry go to this link, or to become a regular Patreon supporter click here.
