Tinfoil is Coming - LaCittadella Podcast
Tinfoil is Coming - LaCittadella PodcastLa Valle di Arryn - Episodio #92La Valle è una delle regioni più interessanti di Westeros. Isolata dal resto del continente da montagne torreggianti, con le spalle fisicamente rivolte ad esso e lo sguardo volto al Mare Stretto, la Valle sembra spesso vivere in un suo piccolo mondo, caratterizzata da uno spiccato isolazionismo. Per quanto, effettivamente, la politica della Valle sia plasmata dalla sua geografia, la storia è ben più complicata di così. Parliamo di abbondanza agricola, di facile accesso (e quindi commercio) alle Città Libere, di un regno piccolo ma con confini invalicabili al punto tale che può dettare le condizioni di interazione con i suoi vicini... ed è di...

Tinfoil is Coming - LaCittadella PodcastLe figlie di Valyria: le Città Libere - Episodio #72Con lo sviluppo dell'impero valyriano e la sua potenza in un continuo crescendo anche grazie ai loro draghi, i valyriani si espandono in ogni direzione di Essos, da est ad ovest, raggiungendo le coste del Mare Stretto, dove nemmeno la Vecchia Ghis, il più grande impero fino alla sua sconfitta, era riuscita ad arrivare. Sulle coste del continente, così come i suoi fiumi e colline, i valyriani erigono le città che oggi sono conosciute come le Città Libere… più o meno, perché c’è un’eccezione.Le loro origini sono diverse. Alcune nascono a seguito di scismi religiosi, altre come avamposti mil...

The Undisputedly Pauline PodcastTalking about Moltmann's Eschatology - pt 1In this episode I begin a conversation with my friend Juan Torres about one of his favourite theologians, Jürgen Moltmann. We talk about a collection of essays entitled "God Will Be All In All: The Eschatology of Jürgen Moltmann", edited by Richard Bauckham, and focus on the first essay written by Bauckham. Our discussion ranges from the meaning of eschatology, its significance, practical implications, and even the role of the metaphysics of time in theology. Juan and I plan to discuss this book again sometime soon.

The Undisputedly Pauline PodcastAgainst Retribution: Discussing Moltmann's Eschatology with Juan TorresIn this episode I speak with my friend Juan Torres again, this time about a brief section of a book by Jürgen Moltmann that Juan selected for us. I've long felt that the Christianity that I received growing up had an implicit framework of justice as retribution, and I've been trying to grow out of it. Moltmann provides a helpful perspective in which the justice of God is creative, a source of healing and reconciliation rather than merely mechanical recompense.

The Undisputedly Pauline PodcastDo Not Quench the Spirit: A Pauline ManifestoIn this episode I share another sermon that I gave at Next Church in Kingston ON. This time I speak about Paul in Galatians chapter 3. I argue that Paul's concern is that we not quench the Spirit, as he writes elsewhere. This gives me a chance toward the end to list a number of ways that Christians are tempted to quench the Spirit in their midst today. Listening to this sermon again, I realize that it is about as close as I've come to articulating a theological manifesto of some sort for the church today.

The Undisputedly Pauline PodcastHope and the Godforsaken ExperienceIn this episode I share a sermon I gave at Next Church about hope and the godforsaken experience. You may notice that in Mark and Matthew's Gospel, Jesus dies crying out "My God, My God, Why have you Forsaken me." In contrast, Luke's Gospel has Jesus die commending his Spirit into his Father's hands. In this sermon I try to bring together these two aspects of Christian experience using Paul's basis for hope in Romans 5:5, the love of God poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit. Unfortunately the recording was cut short at the end, so the sermon...

The Undisputedly Pauline PodcastPaul, Kierkegaard, and Contemporaneity with ChristIn this sermon I talk about Paul in Philippians 3 alongside Soren Kierkegaard, one of my favourite philosophers. To get ready for this sermon I re-read my favourite Kierkegaard book, Practice in Christianity. I realized that one of the things that makes Paul so interesting is that he exemplifies Kierkegaard's notion of contemporaneity with Christ. Paul wasn't one of the original twelve disciples. He didn't walk alongside Jesus during his ministry. And yet Paul lived in the presence of Jesus Christ in a way that is just as possible for us today as it was for him.

The Undisputedly Pauline PodcastThe Psalms and the Present MomentIn this episode I share a sermon that I gave (virtually) at Next Church in Kingston ON on 24 May 20. I try to explain how I approach the Psalms as a modern person, given that they are the songs and prayers of ancient people. I also try to explain what these ancient songs and prayers can mean in the present moment, especially in a truly historical present moment.
