Homebrewed Christianity

God is a serious problem... the problem in theology. Today you get to hear from an 89 year young legendary Philosopher of Religion - Schubert Ogden!

Schubert M. Ogden is University Distinguished Professor of Theology Emeritus at Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University. As student of Charles Hartshorne and Rudolf Bultmann, he pioneered connections between existentialist and process philosophy. In this mini-lecture and conversation with Philip Clayton, Paul Capetz, and myself its gets seriously nerdy.

Here's the crazy thing - he has two new books that are written for a wide audience. In To Teach the Truth  and To Preach the Truth Ogden shows just how flexible his pen is, writing to the people in the pews. If you want to experience his academic work check out the book I mentioned in podcast The Reality of God.

It is time for some Jesus fun!

I recently published the Homebrewed Christianity Guide to Jesus: Lord, Liar, Lunatic or just freaking Awesome!  

Here's the thing. When you release a book you have to promote it. I did some book tour fun across the country, like the goodness you can hear fro the OKC. But I also kicked it off with a 5 hour non-stop online tour across a host of bloggers. This episode (and the next) are some of the best conversation of the 5 hours. I hope you enjoy it and tell your peeps about my book.

On this podcast you hear from Bobby Shirley, Teresa Pascale, Tony Jones, James Matichuk , and Trevor Malkinson. Click those links for the videos!

This podcast episode and the 5 hour live blab stream was developed in partnership with The Speakeasy.  If you like free books and blogging about zesty texts then just holla at Mike and get on the Speakeasy email list.

Andrew Sung Park is the professor of Theology and Ethics at United Theological Seminary in Dayton Ohio. On the podcast today he discusses the God's relationship to suffering, the nature of divine perfection, the difference between sin and shame and the divine soteriological entanglement.

I can't tell you how powerful his opening lecture is on the pre-theological intuitions and powers at work within all of us. The lecture and conversation as a whole serve to demonstrate just how powerful Dr. Park's theological vision can be.

PS. I straight teared up toward the end of his talk.

Here's some awesome books from Dr. Park: Triune Atonement: Christ's Healing for Sinners, Victims, and the Whole Creation

From Hurt to Healing: A Theology of the Wounded

The Wounded Heart of God: The Asian Concept of Han and the Christian Doctrine of Sin

If you want to hear some more from Dr. Park then head over here and check out his first visit to the podcast.

Roger Olson is professor of theology at George W. Truett Theological Seminary of Baylor University in Waco, Texas. He is also one of the most prolific patheos bloggers and has probably written at least two blog posts on whatever theological topic you can come up with. Check it out.

In our conversation Olson describes his understanding of divine providence and the need for Christians to seriously wrestle with it. He engages and critiques classical theology, process, open theism, panentheism, calvinism, scripture, science, tradition, and more. Luckily you can listen and also check out the text of the talk itself here.

After you hear this and decide to get yourself a book of Olson's check out The Mosaic of Christian Belief, The Journey of Modern Theology: From Reconstruction to Deconstruction, and Questions to All Your Answers. If you are wise you will check out the book both Roger and I love - A Scandalous Providence by E. Frank Tupper. It changed my life.

Who is God? What is God? How… I am sure there are other ways of asking the question and even more ways to answer the question. In this episode we discuss the a host of theologians answer the question in a stack of different ways. Hopefully we are able to unpack the answers, assumptions, insights...
