John Dominic Crossan is back on the podcast. Crossan is a legendary New Testament scholar, Jesus Seminar provocateur, and popular lecturer all across the progressive church. We will discuss the last 30 years of historical Jesus research, its role in the academy, the growing audience in the public square, changes in the church and his two most recent books The Power of Parable & The Greatest Prayer.
We recently re-published Crossan's first visit to the podcast over 5 plus years ago on the new Barrel Aged podcast stream. Go check out his discussion of God and Empire which remains my favorite book of his.

Douglas John Hall is Canada's greatest living theologian & emeritus professor of theology at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec. He is a theologian of the cross, a contextual theologian, and a wonderfully articulate one as well. In this conversation we discuss his latest two books What Christianity is Not & Waiting for the Gospel, his love of music, personal interactions with Moltmann, Billy Graham, Tillich & company, and a number of intense theological topics. It was a complete joy to chat with him. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did... and of course share the brew!

his is a very special edition of the Theology Nerd Throwdown. Not only does the BoDaddy try to provoke me (theologically speaking) toward a rowdy defense of the resurrection but we have a very special guest - Todd Littleton. Todd is the greatest Southern Baptist Minister on planet earth. He is also the technical brains behind our High Gravity online classes, pastor to the HBC Deacon of the Year, & now officially an Elder.
Hence forth all ye Homebrewed Christianity Deacons shall know Todd Littleton as Elder of the Okie.
Over the course of the episode we discuss the nature of the resurrection, the divine attributes, the function of doubt in faith, atheism as a spiritual practice, the church and its obligations to the poor, the World Vision debacle, and a number of other goodies. Here's the blog post where Bo provoked the first segment. It was a blast to have a group of local Deacons in the room hanging out after we finished the High Gravity session on Mary Daly. If you are ever visiting LA tweet us up & maybe we will have a recording you can join in on.

"Our hope is to see the church re-examine its theology in the light of the good news of Jesus who proclaimed a truly distinct and unique vision of God. When we do so we encounter a God of radical free grace, forgiveness and love and our lives are transformed by the Spirit of God sent to us through Jesus."
At minute 46 he walks with Bo through Easter week and the Biblical account that brings the whole theory together.

Jonnie, Tony Jones & I were lucky to bring the Homebrewed Christianity heat LIVE at the Progressive Youth Ministry conference. This episode includes some of the excitement that was had. It kicks off with a tasty interview with DePaul professor of religion, theo-blogger & Moltmaniac Scott Paeth. We discuss his new book (which is awesome and easy to read) The Niebuhr Brothers for Armchair Theologians, the Hauerwasian Mafia, and the future of progressive Christian ethics in America. Then Tony Jones and I had a serious battle of au contraire mon fraire... Tony Jones did not win. That was great BUT... little did we anticipate Jonnie would secretly orchestrate his victory with a statement that blew our mind.
If that wasn't enough we had Trey Pearson of Everyday Sunday & Carter DJ-ing the show & post-pod dance party...oh yeah that happened... Our wonderful host 4th Presbyterian & John Vest were amazing & even arranged to have some delicious Revolution Brewing & Goose Island beer at the celebration.
Chalice, the TNT publishing partner, also did some awesome give-away fun at the event.
