Studying History with Matt Hall

by | Dec 6, 2023


Isaac and Austin sit down with Dr. Matt Hall, who is the Provost at BIOLA in California. We discuss his interest in history. There are good and bad ways to study history, so we talk about pitfalls to avoid and how we can make sure we’re being as honest as possible. We also talk about black history and ways it has been neglected, abused, or viewed through a narrow lens of suffering. In all of this we aim to encourage especially those who teach history. It may be hard work, but it is good, God-honoring work when done well.

Author

  • United? We Pray is a ministry to help Christians pray and think about racial strife. We want to encourage Christians amid the strife to rely upon God in prayer. So our prayers can be informed, we strive to learn and write about race, racism and its effects, and theology. We aim to be biblical, beneficial, and clear in all our efforts. While we’re burdened for all racial strife, we focus on racial strife between Christians because of the unique privilege and stewardship God has given his people: to bear witness to Him and to love all people, especially one another (Gal. 6:10).
