  • Notions of Bacon & the Sociology of Knowledge

    In Episode 5, Drew & Mick unpack the idea that human interaction creates a system that defines reality for further human interaction and that what we consider to be common sense is actually the by-product of social construction. 


    What are the implications for us as believers?  What is at stake for the church at large?  Take a listen to find out!

  • Teleology & the Red Thread of Relationship

    In Episode 4, Mick and Drew discuss teleology - or the study of purpose - and how this gives rise to notions of good and evil.  What does it mean to live a good life?  This question can only be answered once we understand the meaning of life in its broadest sense. 

     

    Take a listen to hear an answer to that thorny question within the context of the Christian narrative.

  • The Subversive Nature of the Kingdom of God

    In Episode 3, Drew asserts that the coming of God's Kingdom on the earth in the person of Jesus was by nature a threat to the existing systems of power and that the Christian's notion of authority has to take into account Jesus' claim to be a King.  


    Will we co-opt the language of the Kingdom to support a counterfeit agenda?  Will we try to live as self-sovereign individuals?  Or will we truly submit to the reign of Jesus?  Take a listen and consider the claims of Jesus.

  • Secularism, Christian Metanarrative, & the Tenets of the Modern American Religion

    In Episode 2, Drew & Mick compare and contrast the secular & Christian narratives along the lines of origin, meaning, morality, and destiny.  They do this as a way of explaining the prevalence of individualism, naturalism, and humanism - the dogmas of the modern American religion.

About Ideology

From the publisher's feed

Welcome to Ideology, a podcast where we explore the shift in Western culture from operating within a predominantly Judeo-Christian belief system to a primarily secular belief system and how followers of Jesus can be formed into the image of Christ in this context.
