Deep Talks | Cultural Theology with Paul Anleitner

Ep 68: How Theology Starts Revolutions & Why We Need to Train for What's to Come


Listen Later

In this week's episode, we'll explore how theology, philosophy, and the quest for meaning has been the spark that ignited revolutions throughout history, especially since the advent of mass communication beginning in the 15th century. 


Why do revolutionaries seek to change aesthetic symbols and "holy-days" on their path towards changing a culture's guiding story?

Historically, how has something as small as work of theology or philosophy been the seed for eventual political revolutions, civil wars, and mass cultural changes?

Why is training in theology, philosophy, and meaning-making absolutely necessary during these tumultuous times in America?

Is Frozen 2 an example of how new guiding stories seep into the cultural consciousness? (but seriously...)

How do followers of Jesus deal with new or different "guiding stories" without falling into either the ditch of cultural assimilation on one side or a failed "culture war" on the other side?
