The Daily TheologianEp. #8 | Dr. Michael Svigel | A Defense of Premellinial TheologyIn this episode, I sit down with Dr. Michael Svigel, Chair and Professor of Theological Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary, to discuss a biblical defense of premillennial theology. Drawing from his extensive work in patristics and church history, Dr. Svigel explains how early Christian interpretation sheds light on Revelation 20 and the millennium. We walk carefully through the key interpretive issues that divide premillennialism, amillennialism, and postmillennialism, and Dr. Svigel lays out the hermeneutical differences behind these views, arguing that a consistent historical-grammatical approach best accounts for the text. This conversation is both exegetically detailed and historically informed, offering clarity...

The Postscript ShowEpisode 255: Artificial Intelligence, Apologetics & The AITheist Novellas w/ Michael SvigelArtificial intelligence has become a powerful lens through which our assumptions about reality are being exposed. As machines increasingly mimic human reasoning, language, and creativity, they force uncomfortable questions to the surface: What actually defines personhood? Is intelligence merely computational, or is there something irreducibly spiritual about the human mind? Can meaning, morality, or belief be generated by algorithms alone—or do those things require transcendence? These are the kinds of questions that sit at the heart of the AITheist series, where technological progress becomes a testing ground for theology, not just innovation.To help us explore th...

Deep Wells with Michael LuskWas the content of the Bible decided by a church council? with Dr. Michael Svigel - EP11This episode of Deep Wells features Dr. Michael Svigel as he debunks common misconceptions about the development of the biblical canon. Contrary to what is popularly believed, the canon was not formalized by a council or through a vote. Instead, the process was organic, hinging on the inherent qualities of the writings, such as their apostolic origins and functional authority. Dr. Svigel elaborates on the misunderstanding of terms like 'canonical' and how early church leaders discerned authoritative texts amid circulating writings. This discussion highlights the complex historical journey to our present-day Bible.To learn more...

He explains how Roman Catholicism understands grace as being mediated through the Church’s sacramental system—especially baptism and the Eucharist—and why the sacraments are seen as the ordinary channels through which God dispenses saving grace.
