#226. Book Club Wrap Up: George Herbert's 'The Temple' with Dr. Erik Ank...

Dr. Erik Ankerberg joins Sarah, Erin, and Rachel to discuss the latest Lutheran Ladies’ Book Club pick: George Herbert’s The Temple.

An expert on Herbert’s poetry (as well as a longtime fan), Dr. Ankerberg shares a depth of insight as he helps the Ladies unpack this beautiful but obscure volume of devotional verse.

Who was George Herbert? To what extent was his Anglican faith influenced by Lutheran theology? What makes his poetry feel so fresh and relevant for Christians today?

Poems discussed in detail in this episode include the following:

“The Pulley”

“The Collar”

“The Holdfast”

“Love (3)”

At the conclusion of the episode, the Ladies announce their next book club pick: Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women.

Dr. Erik Ankerberg is president of Concordia University Wisconsin and Ann Arbor. Prior to his inauguration in 2023, he earned his Ph.D. in Renaissance Literature from Marquette University (dissertation: Toward a Re-Formed Confession: Johann Gerhard's Sacred Meditations and "Repining Restlessnesse" in the Poetry of George Herbert) and spent many years as an English professor.

Transfiguration of Our Lord

The glory of the Lord was displayed to the closest disciples of Jesus before Jesus was led to the cross. Just as Jesus suffered, the followers of Jesus can expect to suffer while they are still in this world. But, just as Jesus was glorified, those followers of Jesus who endure to the end will see glory.

Don’t be Wimpy, Weak, and Woke, with John Cooper

People observing 21st century America today might conclude that Americans have lost their minds. But the speakers (evangelical Christians) in this video explain some of the reasoning behind the absurd rhetoric and behavior that we experience today. This video is about an hour long, but it is worth listening to if the viewers wish to gain some understanding of how society got to be so upside down.

This video was not produced by Lutherans; however, Confessional Lutherans may want to be aware of the items discussed therein.

What are the atheist "10 non-commandments" and how should Christians respond? A Stanford Humanist chaplain, with input from 2,800 people in 27 countries, offered a modern alternative to the Christian 10 commandments. A team of 13 judges selected 10 of the submissions and announced their combined 10 Atheist commandments.
