Ryan M Reeves

Description

If you've ever watched a documentary about the Renaissance or the Crusades or the early church and walked away feeling like the story got scrubbed clean (names, dates, a moral, no theology, no ideas) you're in the right place.

I'm Ryan M. Reeves. I earned my PhD iat Cambridge and I've written three books (with Zondervan, Baker, and Brill). The work I do on this channel is the same work I do in print: take a subject everyone has heard of and go deeper (if I can) or connect it all together so you can see the big picture.

The thread is history and theology, but it lives wherever the ideas live. Sometimes that thread runs through Reformation Europe; sometimes through medieval canon law, Renaissance art, or the eschatology of the 19th-century. The connecting tissue is depth, not just more information.

I take the subjects seriously. I don't take myself seriously, and I don't take the standard takes seriously either. The fun is finding out why.
