For this special episode, regular host Clinton Collister was joined by independent researcher Dr. Peter Webster to talk about the legacy of Anglican systematic theologian E.L. Mascall. Peter Webster is a historian of contemporary British Christianity. Details of his work on Eric Mascall, including the article discussed in the podcast, may be found at: https://peterwebster.me/mascall/
E.L.Mascall was a proponent of orthodox Anglican theology and classical theism in the middle of the twentieth century, a time during which orthodoxy increasingly came under pressure as liberal trends exerted an ever more powerful influence in the Church. Peter and Clinton help us to understand the significance of Mascall as a priestly theologian and why his work is so important to engage with today.
