Dr. Peter VanDerPuy - Part 1

Our next guest on the Walk is Dr. Peter VanDerPuy. Dr. VanDerPuy
is an ancient historian at Ohio State, teaching courses in the
world of antiquity, and its literature. Originally from the state
of Washington, Dr. VanDerPuy moved to Great Britain where he
received a masters degree from the world renowned Oxford. He
received his PhD from Ohio State and is an expert on the Roman
Republic. But Dr. VanDerPuy is not a stereotypical history
professor, no offence to history professors. He is simultaneously
highly intelligent yet social, laid back, humble. He’s the type
of guy you want to get stuck across the table from at a dinner
party because you know the conversation will be meaningful and
interesting.


Episode Notes:


Dr. VanDerPuy makes reference to two books that changed the
trajectory of his life while in college. They are:


Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis


The Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan Manning
