In this episode, Jon and Ryan honor Black History Month by talking about a theologian you need to know: Charles Octavius Boothe. We talk about his life and legacy and then discuss why we need to study from teachers outside our culture.
Much of the biographical information for Boothe comes from Walter Strickland.
