Michial Farmer moderates a discussion with Nathan Gilmour and David Grubbs about what Christian humanism means, how it plays into the life of the Church and of the academy, and how a Christian humanist might respond to common criticisms. In the course of things we trace humanism's roots in Patristic encouters with philosophy and rhetoric; the flowering of Christian Humanism in the Renaissance, especially in the work of Desiderus Erasmus; and some twentieth-century figures who have continued the project.
