In which I chat to Tony Payne and talk about Robert Burns
September 1, 2017
I recently had the pleasure of doing a podcast with Tony Payne, of Moore College, Sydney, in which we talked about the piety of the Reformation and Reformers. You can find it here. We also chatted briefly about the greatest literary description of the impact of Protestant piety upon the households of ordinary, rural people: Robert Burns's great poem, The Cotter's Saturday Night, a beautiful poetic account of the preparations for the Lord's Day in the house of a poor crofter. NB: It is not me reciting the poem or playing the bagpipes on the podcast. But kudos to TP for including both.
