As we wrap up our semester, it's a great time to discuss our end-of-semester oral exam, affectionately named "Don Rags." Join Ellie, Fred, and Paul as we talk through what an oral exam is, how it works, and why we do it. Thanks for listening to Season 4!

Paul, Ellie, and Fred are joined by another Torrey faculty member, Dr. Greg Peters. Dr. Peters is a professor of monastic studies, and in this episode we discuss what it's like to be a specialist in a generalist program. How do our faculty integrate their academic specialties into a program that spans English, Philosophy, History, Aesthetics, and Theology?

Join Fred, Paul, and Ellie in our discussion on the timelessness of truth. We've talked in the past about "chronological snobbery" - the impression that whatever comes out today must inherently be better than what has come before - but what about those things that endure always? Is truth timeless, or does it develop over time?
