Episodes

This live video was done Sunday 15 March 2020 at 11:38 pm, the day the government shut down our church in California. We did not reopen for over a year, skipping two Easters out of fear of death (ironically). As church staff, was laid off for over a year without the benefit of unemployment compensation since church workers are excluded from UI consideration under California law. Churches aren’t considered “employment” for those purposes. These were my thoughts that first day.

Part 1 of 4 in a series this week.

We’re discussing “Science and Ideology” based on the insights from a master observer of both types of totalitarian socialisms on the Left, national socialism — sometimes called fascism — and the kind of socialism that the Communists in East Germany and Russia had during the 1900s, during the life of Dr. Thielicke. USSR meant Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

Our return guest today on The Republican Professor Podcast is the former professor of Theology at the University of Hamburg in West Germany, Dr. Helmut Thielicke, Ph.D., D.Theol. (Philosophy and Theology).

Professor Thielicke once again joins us through his teaching in his Theological Ethics, Vol. 2: Politics. My copy was purchased at Old Capitol Books (new location) in Monterey, California, across from Nick the Greek restaurant on Alvarado Street (their old location was 559 Tyler, Monterey, CA, across from the Peet’s Coffee and was formerly Book Haven for many years), and is a hard copy published in 1969 by Fortress Press and edited by William H. Lazareth.

Thielicke died before he was able to come on to The Republican Professor Podcast.

We thank Fortress Press for making the book available. Check out their catalogue for a full listing of their very interesting titles, and buy one. Get a copy of this for yourself and following along in our transformative, performative reading of it as we make fair use on his insights, with fresh scholarly commentary from me, and allow it to shape our understanding of American Politics.

This is part 7 in a series on The Republican Professor Podcast, an introduction to theological reflection on American government.

Here, we broach the topic of the nature and power of “ideology” in Communist eschatology. Our very special guest today is, once again, the esteemed and long-time Professor of Theology at the University of Hamburg, Helmut Thielicke.

And I’ve invited Professor Thielicke to join us today through my performative reading (with my scholarly commentary upon) and fair use of his teaching on this topic in his magisterial “Theological Ethics, Volume 2: Politics.” My copy of the book was published in 1969 by Fortress Press.

Please buy a copy of the book and follow along with our study of this material. Here’s a link to the book: https://www.amazon.com/Theological-Ethics-Politics-Helmut-Thielicke/dp/0802817920

Professor Thielicke died before we were able to invite him in person as a guest on the podcast.

This is part three (3 of 3) of a book review of a book arguing Jesus is for gun control. The book advocates criminalization of paradigmatically innocent conduct in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

The book by professor Mike Austin is called “God, Guns and America.”

This is part three of a review of the book with Kurtis Olson on FB LIVE 1 April 2021 at 7:36 pm.

This episode was co-hosted and co-produced by Mr. Kurtis Olson.

Deep Dive Part 3:

It’s Fall 2024, and we’re working on a longer attention span, in this case, remembering why the Biden Administration lost the CDC Mask Mandate — not because they thought it was bad, illegal, or unnecessary. It’s gone because a Trump-appointed Judge, Kathryn Kimball Mizelle was the judge who heard the case and applied the time-tested judicial tools to discern the the CDC’s rule was illegal in our Constitutional Republic. Let’s recall how that went.

The case is Health Freedom Defense Fund v. Biden, judgment filed 18 April 2022 in the United States District Court Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division by Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle.

The Republican Professor is a pro-Constitutional-Americanism, pro-pay-attention-to-the-definition-of-terms, pro-limited-government podcast.

Therefore, welcome Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, US District Court Judge appointed by President Trump, confirmed by a Republican US Senate.
