In this special podcast you will get answers to the questions the audience sent in. Luke joined me for the fun.

After the #Devilpalooza we asked for questions and oh did we get questions. A bunch of questions. Excellent questions.

It took Luke and I just over 2 hours to answer them all and this episode is just the second half of the questions. To listen to the first half you just need to head over to his newest episode and enjoy the goodness.

You can go watch the LIVE tag-team podcast with Luke and Tony last month. It features NT Wright, Greg Boyd, and Richard Beck, who was celebrating the release of his new book Reviving Old Scratch.

Sallie McFague is on the podcast reminding us that we can indeed be in love with God and the world.

She is one of the most important living theologians and a pioneer of Christian feminist theology. Currently she is the Distinguished Theologian in Residence at the Vancouver School of Theology in British Columbia, Canada. Prior she taught for thirty years at Vanderbilt University Divinity School. 

Sallie and Tripp cover a lot of ground in the episode, including how Sallie became a theologian (which includes a kindergarten revelation), her focus on religious language, radical love, kenosis, panentheism, and even some member submitted questions, including:

1. How does her concept of wild spaces address privilege
2. In the revival of radical theology recently, how do you understand the reality of God?
3. Where should one start with feminist theology?
4. What do you think about the increased usage of the term Anthropocene?

And don't forget to check out Sallie's books, Blessed Are The Consumers and Models Of God.

The questions of Christianity are perennial. Today we are gonna talk about them with church historian Derek Cooper.

How are Judaism and Christianity related? Are Jesus and the Holy Spirit God? Is the end of the world imminent? How should we relate faith and reason? In this episode and the book Derek tells the story of Christian history by presenting the twenty questions (one for each century!) that shaped the Christian church throughout the world.

Each century of world Christian history is explored by means of one question that attempts to encapsulate the central themes and concerns of that century for Christianity. Coverage of each century is sensitive to world regions and theological and cultural concerns that are often overlooked and neglected in books that are oriented in a more Western way.

Dr. Derek Cooper is associate professor of world Christian history at Biblical Theological Seminary near Philadelphia. He hails from the mighty country of Texas but is a long-term resident of Pennsylvania. 

Check out all of Derek's books here.

This is the first in a trinity of podcasts exploring the intersection of Jesus and film. Think of these as companion podcasts to help you unpack all of the cinematic and theological nuggets.

Round one is Martin Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ. Before diving into the movie, Tripp, Ryan, and Barry talk about Jesus films in general, what it means to interpret a film (especially about Jesus), culture, hermeneutics, and:

• Why take movies seriously?
• How not to watch a film about Jesus
• Why do watching movies affect you differently than other art forms?

Spoiler alert: this episode contains significant discussion of several scenes from the movie.

If you are like Tripp and have never actually seen The Last Temptation of Christ then you can rent it digitally right now and nerd out with your screen out.
