What can the notion of "excommunication" contribute to our thoughts about communication, theology and God? What does the God talked about by Jesus have to do with excommunication? Books referred to in this episode include Excommunication: Three Inquiries Into Media by Alexander Galloway, Eugene Thacker and Mackenzie Wark, Phaedrus by Plato, Twelve Chapters on the Faith (supposedly by Gregory Thaumaturgus/Neocaesarea). Zizek’s Jokes by Slavoj Zizek. Hughes Mearns's poem Atagonish also makes an entrance at some point.

In this first episode of the Unorthodoxy podcast, I offer a few reflections on the tricky distinction between orthodoxy and heresy in Christian theology. Books referred to in this episode include: Atheism in Christianity by Ernst Bloch, Did Calvin Kill Servetus? by Stanford Rives, The Soul of Doubt by Dominic Erdozain, Heresy: It's Utility and Morality by Charles Bradlaugh, Heretics by GK Chesterton, and The First Apology by Justin Martyr.
