Theology, Philosophy, and Religion from the Barrel

Merold Westphal Smacks Onto-theology and Preaches Hermeneutics

Listen Later

I loved talking to Merold Westphal and I’m pretty sure all the HBC Deacons and theology nerds across the

inter-webs are gonna dig this conversation coming out of the barrel.  Westphal is a long time philosophy prof from Fordham University and has now reached the status of emeritus. Merold is a top notch philosopher and committed evangelical who thinks deep and wrestles faithfully.  He publishes regularly and also has an awesome book for a general audience.

In the episode we discuss…

  • Heidegger & The Onto-theological Critique
  • Evangelicalism
  • Growing up a dispensationalist and ending up a Christian philosopher
  • Hegel, the social constitution of the self, & the located nature of ‘reason’
  • Necessary Conditions for Christian Theism…God is personal
    • & speaks
  • Pseudo Dionysius, Augustine, Aquinas, Feuerbach & negative theology
  • Revelation, the Word of God, and Human Receptivity
  • the Rapture
  • Rob Bell
  • He also introduces us to the ‘Gang of Four’- the Desert Father, the Geneva Calvinists, the American Slaves, and the modern Amish.
