Description

Theology. Books. Culture. Conversation. Hosted by Pastor Brandon Warr, The Bookcases Behind Me brings Confessional Lutheran theology into dialogue with literature, culture, and the pressing questions of our time. Each episode blends solid biblical teaching with the exploration of classic and contemporary books, from the devotional works of Johann Gerhard to modern Christian fiction and cultural commentary. This isn't just another Christian podcast. Here, you'll hear: Confessional Lutheran theology—rooted in Scripture and the Lutheran Confessions. Book discussions that range from timeless theological works to gripping pulp fiction and fantasy. Cultural analysis on topics like Artificial Intelligence, art, beauty, vocation, and the challenges facing Christians in a digital age. Practical encouragement for standing firm in Christ in a world full of shallow faith and empty stories. Whether you're a lifelong Lutheran, a seeker of truth, or simply curious about how faith interacts with literature and modern culture, this podcast equips you with clarity, conviction, and courage. 📚 Why "The Bookcases Behind Me"? Because behind every conversation are the books, sermons, and stories that shape our faith and imagination. And through them, you'll find connections that strengthen both heart and mind. 👉 Subscribe today and don't miss an episode.
