Good listening on iTunesU
We've launched a very small extension programme for Cornhill this year, targeted at those who, for whatever reasons, choose or are unable to go on to further study, but want to continue to learn. It's an exciting idea – and as part of it, I've been catching up with some of the excellent resources at iTunesU where several US colleges have put material online. This morning I walked over London Bridge (bike is sick) to the dulcet tones of Carl Trueman. He has a nice way of bringing history alive with asides and quips that make it enjoyable and instructive. Take this morning, on early medieval iconclasm. I paraphrase: "the way to get young men involved in church is to give them something to smash up and tell them they're doing it for the Lord." Tongue in cheek, of course, but brings Alcuin of York to life.
Here are three of the best (search through iTunes)
- Carl Trueman on Medieval Church History, Westminster Theological Seminary)
- David Wells Theological Survey (Gordon Conwell)(two series)
- John Frame on pastoral and social ethics (Reformed Theological Seminary)
