Cars, Coffee, Theology (1:4) Christian Brady

Chapter One, Verse Four (1:4)

My guest for this episode is Dr. Christian Brady, Dean of the Lewis Honors College at the University of Kentucky, specialist in the Targums (Aramaic translations of Jewish texts), and Anglican priest. [http://www.uky.edu/honors/] Dr. Brady holds the D.Phil. from Oxford University. He has held several influential posts in higher education before coming to Kentucky. In this episode Christian and I discuss his academic work on the Targum of Lamentations and how this has informed his experience of the sudden loss of his son, Mack. Thanks for tuning in!
