“In Hegel’s hands, Christianity becomes the most revolutionary religion ever conceived.” Todd McGowan writes that in his book ‘Emancipation After Hegel’ – Bouncing back in stark contrast to last week’s discussion, Jay brings us a talk that is more focused on philosophy and theology. This week he is diving into a verse and an idea that we struggle with, and that is the verse in Matthew when Jesus talks about fulfilling the law. Leaning on readings from McGowan, along with interpretations of Hegel, and verses from Jesus and Paul, Jay dives into the concept of love and explores if the fulfilling of the law is referring to loving each other. Loving each other as we love ourselves creates an equality among us. A way to all be equally human. Love is the foundation of this faith – it’s what changes this faith from the others. And Grace is a tough thing that allows us to love in a deeper and different way. But it’s hard work. It’s a complicated idea that splits us into being both ourselves and the other at the same time. We know that Grace is Anarchy…but is love also anarchy?

This talk was given on December 19, 2021 in Seattle, Washington.
