https://trinities.org/blog/podcast-272-dr-timothy-pawls-in-defense-of-extended-conciliar-christology-part-1/ Dr. Timothy Pawl has written the fullest and most carefully-argued defense of "two natures" christology as defined by the ecumenical councils. Now he's also written a book-length defense of those core claims plus some related claims which are advocated by many in the catholic traditions, including St. Thomas Aquinas. In this first part of our conversation we discuss: what it takes to defend the coherence of traditional "conciliar" christology, reactions to his first book, what genre these books are in, my main objection to his defense, the concept of a supposit, the significance of the Definition from the Council of Chalcedon in 451, whether or not the communication of idioms applies to him and his wife (who are "one"), and whether or not I've ever thrown one of his books across the room.
