Saddleback Church Content Development Pastor Jason Wieland is joined by Dr. John Mark Reynolds to discuss the connection between ancient philosophy, reading the great books, and Christianity.

He is the former provost of Houston Baptist University. He is the founder and director of the Torrey Honors Institute, the Socratic, great books-centered honors program at Biola University.
