patheological: The Podcast for the Pastor Theologian

What symbols get used to legitimate power? Maybe The Whitehouse is used by some to legitimate democracy in a Country where it appears we are ruled by an Oligarchy.

Maybe not.

Could the Church House, or the Bible, be used to legitimate the power of a people considered notion chosen people, who represent a God who cares for the marginalized and calls for justice? Walter Brueggemann, in his little book, Reality, Grief, Hope: Three Urgent Prophetic Themes, leads readers to consider how power legitimized in religious symbols may undermine the themes the religion asserts as valuable.

What does that have to do with Ezekiel 34 and Matthew 25? Listen to the podcast to find out.

After a long hiatus, Thoughts from the Edge returns as a regular feature here on the blog. Consider it a reprise. 

In 2009 I began the podcast aimed at offering a reflection on one or more of the Lectionary Texts for the coming week. Reading the provided texts often opened up themes or raised questions. Each week I wanted to offer a way in which the texts, when read side by side, might draw out something from the other. Consider it something like Brueggemann’s reference to “testimony and counter-testimony.”

The first installment of the reprised podcast is something of an introduction and a test. I am using Bossjock, an iPad and iPhone app, to record the podcasts. The app makes podcast creation a simpler process, though it may take me some time to take to get used to its features.

Take a listen and provide some helpful feedback in the comments.
