Why I Left Marxism for the Resurrected Christ: New Credo Podcast with Michael Haykin

, · July 23, 2019

What drew Michael Haykin toward an intellectual neo-marxism? Why did the resurrection of Christ convince Haykin to leave neo-marxism and eastern religions for the Christian gospel? What persuaded Haykin to become a historian? Why has he devoted his life to studying the church fathers and Baptists like Andrew Fuller?

In this new episode of the Credo podcast, Matthew Barrett is joined by Michael Haykin to discuss his life from intellectual neo-marxism to patristic and Baptist theology.

Michael Haykin (Th.D., University of Toronto) is the Professor of Church History and Biblical Spirituality and Director of The Andrew Fuller Center for Baptist Studies at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He is the author of numerous books including Rediscovering the Church Fathers: Who They Were and How They Shaped the Church, The Missionary Fellowship of William Carey, Eight Women of Faith, The Christian Lover: The Sweetness of Love and Marriage in the Letters of Believers, A Sweet Flame: Piety in the Letters of Jonathan Edwards, and To the Ends of the Earth: Calvin’s Missional Vision and Legacy.
