British philosopher, theologian, priest, scholar, fellow of the British Academy, former professor at Oxford, Keith Ward is back on the podcast talking about his new book, The Christian Idea of God. 

Hear how Keith ended up writing theology, why he thinks philosophy of religion and theology end up being the same thing, and what exactly theology is anyway.

This is a very comprehensive interview. Tripp and Keith cover just about every Christian doctrine you can think of. You'll also hear Keith discuss the reasons we have problems talking about God today, why he argues for personal idealism and what exactly that means, the problem of consciousness, issues around value, morality, and where they come from, the relationship of God and the world, how God is present and acting in the cosmos, and much, much more.

Plus, Tripp talks about his top 5 Keith Ward books (Christ and the Cosmos; Rethinking Christianity; God and the Philosophers; The Case for Religion; Why There is Almost Certainly a God).

This is the bible-thumping episode of Homebrewed.

You'll get to hear all the back story for the Bibliotheca kickstarter, plus we'll talk about the aesthetic engagement of the printed word, typography, the changing and transformative engagement with scripture - especially if you grew up being told it was the rule book, the book with all the answers - to reading it as literature.

Adam Lewis Greene joined Tripp and Nathanael to talk about the desire do something like Bibliotheca, aesthetics, the challenges of running a kickstarter as successful as this one, how you can tell a high quality book, translation decisions, and some of the controversy surrounding the project.

Tripp fully endorses the Bibliotheca translation, and highly recommends it for doing lectio divina.

#OlaRules

Ola Sigurdson, professor of systematic theology at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden is on the podcast to talk about the English translation of his book Heavenly Bodies: Incarnation, the Gaze, and Embodiment in Christian Theology. Ola engages the Christian tradition's conversation around incarnation, contemporary philosophy, ontology, and politics of the body, and gives creative readings and intersectional engagements with all sorts of disciplines. In the book, he tries to work out what it means to experience yourself as an embodied agent. It's creative, inspiring, thought-provoking, and challenging.

In the interview you'll learn a little bit about Ola and his interest in Christian theology, how

Nietzsche inspired the book, what it would mean to understand the incarnation from an experiential perspective, and how the early church's theological conversations about the incarnation change when read through phenomenological categories.

Ola introduces the gaze, a way to understand the senses incarnationally and relationally, the role of liturgy in cultivating the gaze, and how our understanding of ethics is shaped by incarnation. You'll also want to check out another book by Ola, Theology and Marxism in Eagleton and Žižek: A Conspiracy of Hope
