Who is God? Jan 04, 2016

Show notes

Who is God? What is God? How... I am sure there are other ways of asking the question and even more ways to answer the question. In this episode we discuss the a host of theologians answer the question in a stack of different ways. Hopefully we are able to unpack the answers, assumptions, insights and perspectives in the episode.

During the episode we mention:

The upcoming Theology Nerd Bootcamp with Joerg Rieger February 17 in Dallas before Progressive Youth Ministry.
Joerg Rieger's excellent text Christ and Empire.
Victor Anderson's most amazing book Beyond Ontological Blackness
Laurel Schneider's exploration of polydoxy and multiplicity.
Donna Bowman's book on Barth and Whitehead & her upcoming book in the HBC series.
The Enfolding Theology Conference at the Hatchery in LA this coming March.
You should check out Nathan's Common Cause Community project and most importantly say hi to him on twitter... he loves tree.

He is author of Renewing the Process of Creation and God of Becoming and Relationship: The Dynamic Nature of Process Theology and they are straight up awesome. If you are looking for introductory level texts about Process theology then you really need to check them out. Most importantly there are ZERO reasons not to subscribe to his podcast. LITERALLY ZERO REASONS.

The #GodDebacle w/ Philip Clayton and LeRon Shults Dec 14, 2015

Show notes

God. God! God? God:)

God is the topic of this debacle. It is not a great debacle nor a tremendous debacle, but the Almighty Debacle. Is there an Ultimate Reality behind the ideas, images, myths and passion of religion? Can a plausible understanding of God be articulated in light of science? Is the world better off if humanity got over God or got right with God? These questions and more will be explored during the God Debacle!

The God Debacle features two friends of the Homebrewed Podcast, LeRon Shults and Philip Clayton. There was a time when these two philosophers of science would have been allies in the academic pursuit of the divine. Today LeRon is no longer a Christian or even a theist and recently published a book exploring how God is both born and borne by humanity, Theology After the Birth of God. Philip recently published his book The Predicament of Belief and Confronting the Predicament of Belief in which he argues for the reality of God in light of contemporary science.

If you don't believe me about the combustible nature of this conversation, just check out their interactions at Syndicate. Here's LeRon and Phil's exchange and Phil's rejoinder.

Evil, Providence and the Love of God with Tom Oord Nov 27, 2015

Show notes

Tom Oord is on the podcast to discuss his excellent new book The Uncontrolling Love of God: An Open and Relational Account of Providence. Providence is one of those topics that bring up all sorts of topics like divine action, the problem of evil, the goodness of God, miracles, prayer and essential kenosis. I have to admit that we not only chat up his book, but we start nerding out with our geeks out at a high volume.

Prepare to have too much fun.

Check out Austin's review of the book for more details.

In the conversation we also discuss John Sanders' The God Who Risks, Philip Clayton and Stephen Knapp's The Predicament of Belief, and my new book on Jesus.

Soapbox Blabbery with Peter Rollins & Tony Jones Nov 11, 2015

Show notes

It's a soapy blabbery with Peter Rollins and Tony Jones.

This was recorded during the Soapbox event hosted by Pete here in Redondo Beach. The attendees were hanging out, having brews and being jovial while we blabbed.

Pete explains the gospel of radical theology, Tripp discusses process and Tony giggles.

Plus you hear everyone's worst public speaking event.

Enjoy
