Rick Welch sits down with Dr. Ephraim Radner, an American theologian, Anglican priest, and author known for his deep work in ecclesiology, biblical theology, and the nature of time within Christian thought. Born in 1954, Radner completed his undergraduate studies at Dartmouth College and earned his Ph.D. in systematic theology from Yale University.

He has served as both a parish priest and an academic, notably teaching at Wycliffe College at the University of Toronto, where he is Professor of Historical Theology. Radner is a leading voice in the study of church unity, the suffering of the Church, and the providential meaning of history. He has written extensively on the nature of Israel, the Church, and the challenges of modernity to Christian witness.

Radner’s notable books include The End of the Church: A Pneumatology of Christian Division in the West, A Brutal Unity: The Spiritual Politics of the Christian Church, and Time and the Word: Figural Reading of the Christian Scriptures. His work is marked by a profound engagement with Scripture, the Church Fathers, and a deep concern for the lived experience of the Christian community.

In addition to his academic contributions, Radner has been active in ecumenical efforts and debates within global Anglicanism, often addressing issues of doctrinal integrity, moral theology, and the challenge of maintaining faithfulness amid cultural and ecclesial fragmentation.
