We discuss his intentionally anachronistic style of juxtaposition, and how this leads his work on 1 Corinthians 11 and Paul's concerns about the women prophesying, to considerations of ancient figure...

I was surprised by the manifold ways contemporary language around church, mission, and culture finds its roots in articulations that were developed within and embraced by German National Socialism.

Schleiermacher and the Trinity, Shelli PoeIn the exciting conclusion of Deus Ex Schleiermacher I sat down with Shelli Poe to talk about Schleiermacher as Trinitarian Theologian. We talk about the anit-speculative connection between Calvin and Schleiermacher, why "the great mystery of the Christian faith ought to be the fact of the divine good-pleasure toward creation, rather than a set of conceptual difficulties." We then discuss the 'pastoral' reasoning behind Schleiermacher's positioning of the Trinity, the trinitarian form of the divine attributes of Love, Wisdom, and Causality, and how this approach overcomes or sneaks around some of the problems Schleiermacher identities with traditional trinitarianism.

A Very Schleiermacher Episode, Ted VialI sat down with Ted Vial to talk about Friedrich Schleiermacher’s political activity, intellectual proclivity, and preacher’s sensitivity. We discuss Schleiermacher’s distinction between religion and theology, why readers benefit by considering his work in other academic disciplines, and why it is helpful to be reminded that the only Christianity we have is the one we have. We end with a great discussion on Schleiermacher’s Christmas Eve: a dialogue and why it’s the perfect entry point to his theological corpus.

Despite often being framed as a great equaliser, the impact of COVID is disproportionately metered out against the world's vulnerable people.

We talk about the way the sacred is weaponsised by elite powers to shape social reality, the way it grants permanence to the negating of the inherent sacred worth of the black and brown bodies of those approaching or crossing the border, while sacralizing the Anglo-American project of colonisation, violence, and manifest destiny. We talk about how – counter intuitively – appealing to the sacredness of the other can provide a way toward a healing strategy, and how this book seeks to “a...

We talk about co-resurrection and how that shapes how we speak of justification, how Michael’s work on theosis is more narrative than metaphysical, and if there’s a relationship between Paul’s union with Christ language and Matthew 25’s presence of Christ in the least of these.

We discuss his motivation for writing the book, what it was like to try and ‘witness to the witness’ of his son, reclaiming wonder, pre-natal screening and how liberal societies establish norms, the need to be rescued from seeing ourselves as ‘abled’, where the doctrine of sin fits in a theology of disability, the body of Christ as a circulator of divine gifts, and going beyond charity and inclusion.

We explore what the words teach us about presence, absence, and the completion of Christ's work. And how Jesus' own thirst shapes how we read the many other times thirst is employed in the Gospel of John.
