64: Peter Rollins: Is God Dead? A Peek Into Radical Theology


Listen Later

Key Take Aways:

  • Embrace the contradictions and dividedness that are inherent in being human.
  • Loss and death are fundamental aspects of existence that shape our experiences.
  • Grief should be acknowledged and processed as a natural part of life.
  • The death of God and the tearing of the temple curtain challenge the idea of liminality as a space where the finite and infinite meet. 
  • Certain objects capture a sense of transcendence and the eternal within them, rather than behind them.
  • Christianity is radical in its belief in the death of God and the alienation within the divine.
  • Hope is the driving force that motivates us to work for something better in the present moment.
  • A better understanding of God in the modern world embraces self-division and ontological unknowing.
  • Living in the present moment and embracing self-division can lead to a more fulfilling and authentic experience of life.
