Did God Kill Jesus? What do we do with the 'sacrifice' talk in scripture? Is the cross a symbol worth keeping? Did Jesus have to die for God to love us? What would Tripp sound like if he was a revival preacher?

Those questions and more will be explored in this interview with Elder Tony Jones. It was recorded live in Chicago at LaSalle Street Church. Not only were they excellent hosts for the day long Theology Nerd Bootcamp but they opened in the evening for a good group of guests ready to hear about Tony's new book Did God Kill Jesus? 

Let this wet your theological whistle because on HOLY SATURDAY (April 4th 10:30 am pst.)  Tony and I will be joined by Peter Rollins for The Great Debacle! Be wise and sign up for your free ticket to the live video stream.

Why in the world are philosophers getting so excited about Paul these days?

Well I would tell you the answer but Tripp and Pete decided to do an entire High Gravity class investigating this turn to Paul among political philosophers. Last week the class kicked off with an initial session on the Bible with Daniel Kirk and now in the second session we turn to the philosophers. This podcast includes the general introduction to Paul and the philosophers that kicked off session two. Check it out and think about joining us for the rest of the class.

In the second half of this session we discussed Jacob Taubes‘ seminal work The Political Theology of Paul. His lectures were what paved the way for two of the most talked about texts in political philosophy. In weeks 3 and 4 we will walk through Alain Badiou‘s Saint Paul: The Foundation of Universalism.  In weeks 5 and 6 we will do a close reading of Slavoj Zizek‘s The Puppet and the Dwarf: The Perverse Core of Christianity.

The Level Ground LIVE show at Jones Coffee in Pasadena, CA was a blast. What it lacked in theology it made up for in throw down.

Enjoy the highlights of our conversation with Samantha Curley and Barry Taylor about film, faith and sexuality.

Monkish Beer was a generous sponsor! We want to wish Brian White a speedy recovery.

Enjoy the closing song - or as someone said "Open all the kegs and let Tripp out into the world!"
