    Michael Welker and a Contemporary Constructive Christology Nov 04, 2019
    Show notes

    Who is Jesus Christ for us today? Is there a way to even attempt to answer the question with intellectual credibility? One of Germany’s greatest theologians, Michael Welker, is on the podcast discussing his new book God the Revealed: Christology. In the book and on the podcast we discuss the quest for the historical, theological engagement with the natural sciences, the cultural shifts in the church, atonement theories, our shared love of Whitehead, and a bunch of other nerdy bits of goodness.

    Professor Michael Welker is a Senior Professor at the University of Heidelberg (since 2013) and Director of the Research Center International and Interdisciplinary Theology (FIIT, since 2005) and an Honorary Professor at Seoul Theological University.

    He is a member of the Heidelberg Academy and Corresponding Member of the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters and received the Medal of the University of Heidelberg. Karl-Barth-Preis award in 2016.

    SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT! Aug 09, 2019
    Show notes

    Guess what theology nerds?

    This is a special announcement.

    I have just accepted a position as Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Edinburgh. There I will be part of a John Templeton Foundation project, God and the Book of Nature: Building a Science-Engaged Theology of Nature. It is hard to exaggerate how excited I am about this position and the opportunity to work in theological education. On top of that I will be able to interact and connect with a host of new voices for the podcast, across the pond.

    It really is a dream come true for this theology nerd.

    Here's where I would absolutely love your help.

    Taking an entry level academic position at a prestigious university will open doors in the long run, so we want to take the venture as a family. The transition over seas will have a pretty significant hit in our monthly income, but being frugal isn't the biggest concern, it is the rather daunting costs of moving over seas. That's why we setup a GoFundMe where you can make a tax-deductible donation to the process.

    For over 11 years Homebrewed Christianity has been bringing you online theological resources. With 70k regular listeners and having crossed over 3 million downloads already this year, I know many of you enjoy it almost as much as I do. Your support not only makes the podcast possible, but has enabled me to continue to pursue my dream.

    John Caputo: Tillich and a Radical Theology of Culture May 31, 2019
    Show notes

    John D. Caputo is a hybrid philosopher/theologian who works in the area of radical theology. Prof. Caputo has spearheaded a notion he calls “weak theology,” by which he means a “poetics” of the “event” that is harbored in the name (of) God, or that “insists” in the name (of) “God,” a notion that depends upon a reworking of the notions of event in Derrida to theological ends.

    John Haught: the New Cosmic Story May 13, 2019
    Show notes

    For a long time I have been a fan of John Haught's work. He is a Catholic theologian, invested in the conversation between religion and science, who brings together two of my favorite thinkers - Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Alfred North Whitehead. His recent award winning book, The New Cosmic Story: Inside Our Awakening Universe, Haught's mature theological voice is at work in a serious way. There he argues that an adequate understanding of cosmic history requires attention to the emergence of interiority, including religious aspiration. We discuss that and a number of other topics in this conversation including...

    • Big History and its inside story
    • the relationship of religion and science
    • Layered Explanations of reality and meaning
    • 3-fold pattern of growth: Divergence, Convergence, and Emergence
    • the cosmological literalism of the New Atheists - a modernist form of fundamentalism
    • the narrative shape of the cosmos
    • Teilhard, Lonergan, Whitehead, Polyani
    • the nature of religion in the evolution of homo sapiens
    • ethical predicaments from the ecological crisis to abortion
    • the role of beauty in the cosmos
    • His article, Trashing Teilhard: How Not to Read a Great Religious Thinker

    John F. Haught is Senior Fellow, Science & Religion, Woodstock Theological Center, Georgetown University. He was formerly Professor in the Department of Theology at Georgetown University (1970-2005) and Chair (1990-95). His area of specialization is systematic theology, with a particular interest in issues pertaining to science, cosmology, evolution, ecology, and religion.
