61. Dr Simon Kennedy - Against Worldview

July 09, 2025 • Kenneth Crowther, James Treweeke, Simon Kennedy • Season 4 • Episode 61

Dr Simon Kennedy joins the podcast to discuss his book Against Worldview. Critiquing the 'worldview project' as a governing intention of Christian education, Simon proposes an active growth in wisdom as an alternative to an intellectual formation of 'getting the right answers'. This podcast discusses virtue ethics, church history, sectarian differences in approaching education, and a whole lot more.
