Systematically

Today’s episode is a one-on-one discussion between Jon and Ryan, laying the groundwork for clarifying what precisely we, the hosts of a podcast called “Systematically,” understand systematic theology to be. The chat begins with a brief overview of the Heaps and Hemmer couples’ joint vacation on Marco Island, where they reflected upon the divergences between Hot Fuzz and Paul Blart: Mall Cop, the speed of Aaron Sorkin’s dialogue, and the apparent malaise of Floridean retirees. This pivots into a nuanced examination of the relationship(s) between systematic theology, dogmatic theology, historical consciousness, and philosophy. The conversation then culminates in a discussion of whether or not speculative theology can make any meaningful contribution to our contemporary pluralist cultural contexts. Ryan wraps up the discussion by sharing his Treasures Old & New, and then we say goodbye.

Today’s episode is a thought-provoking conversation between Ryan and Paul Axton, one of the founders of Forging Ploughshares, a communal initiative striving to cultivate the Peaceable Kingdom through ministry in biblical study, community outreach, media productions, and international outreach. After a brief conversation about racquetball, Dr. Axton gives us an overview of his book, The Psychotheology of Sin and Salvation, which T&T Clark just released in paperback and Kindle Edition. The conversation pivots into a nuanced, wide-ranging exploration of the interconnections and mutually illuminating convergences and divergences between biblical theology, psychoanalytic theory, various theories of atonement, and the paschal mystery. Paul then gives us an introduction to how Forging Ploughshares is helping to establish a community ordered toward overcoming the deception of sin. Lastly, Paul shares his Treasures Old & New, and then we say goodbye.

Today’s episode is a lovely chat with our very interesting and talented friends Erin Kidd, Assistant Professor of Theology and Religious Studies at St. John’s University (Queens, NY), and Jakob Karl Rinderknecht, Assistant Professor of Religious Studies and Director of the Pastoral Institute at University of the Incarnate Word (San Antonio, TX). After a lively discussion of Erin’s most recent culinary catastrophes and the wild/wonderful Riverwest neighborhood of Milwaukee, we learn about Erin and Jakob’s new edited volume: Putting God on the Map: Theology and Conceptual Mapping (Fortress Press, 2018). The volume is an interdisciplinary work in theology and cognitive science, and our conversation covers the basics of cognitive linguistics and conceptual mapping. We also introduce the wide-ranging implications of their intersections and applications in theological discourse. Jon shares his Treasures Old & New, and then we say goodbye.

Today’s episode is a lovely chat with our very talented friend Jakob Karl Rinderknecht, Assistant Professor of Religious Studies and Director of the Pastoral Institute at University of the Incarnate Word (San Antonio, TX). First, we ask Jakob a series of our go-to Introductory Questions. These questions lead to impromptu introductions to monastic tonsure, as well as the weird and wonderful Milwaukee watering hole known as The Palm. Next, Jakob gives us a primer on the complex history of the relationships between the local and universal church, the episcopacy and the papacy, and ecclesial authority and local governments. The conversation culminates in a nuanced and accessible introduction to synods, the relationship(s) of synods and councils, and the consequences of various positions on synodality in contemporary Catholic theology. Jakob also shares his Treasures Old and New, and then we say goodbye.

This episode proves that even when Robyn’s away, Jon, Ryan, and Brian will still be nerds (and argue about the Mars Volta and At the Drive-In!). First, we catch up on our recent pop culture consumption, as well as Ryan and Jon’s responses to toddler-initiated accidents. After a brief discussion of films about Formula 1 racing, Ryan gives us an overview of how René Girard’s mimetic theory relates to Lonergan’s scale of values. We then unpack Ryan’s observations by discussing how friendship, affectivity, politics, and grace complicate and illuminate Girard’s writings. Brian shares his Treasures Old and New, and then we say goodbye.

This episode explores the intersections of Trinitarian theology, psychology, epistemology, and embodiment. After we spend a few glorious moments pondering the potential advantages and dangers of providing alcohol to athletes, Ryan gives us a brief introduction to Thomas’ psychological analogy and its importance to systematic theology. This frames our discussion of how meaning is experienced by embodied, self-present, knowing subjects. The givenness of such experience is central to Jon’s 2016 article, “Insight is a Body-Feeling: Experiencing our Understanding,” and we spend the majority of our episode exploring the implications of Jon’s arguments in this essay. Ryan shares his Treasures Old and New, and then we say goodbye.

Guilt! Sin! Cheesy TV Movies! This episode has something for everyone. First, we share our pop culture “guilty pleasures,” exploring Brian and Jon’s questionable musical choices (past and present!), Ryan’s Star Wars fandom, and the guiltiest of all pleasures: Hallmark Christmas Movies. The ensuing chaos segues fittingly into shared reflections on the surds of sin, evil, and decline. We discuss the connections and divergences between medieval terminology, contemporary relational anthropologies, and our own linguistic baggage, and then work toward a framework for analyzing sin on the level of our time. Robyn shares her Treasures Old and New, and then we say goodbye.

This episode finds us safely returned from our trip to Milwaukee, and excited to talk about theology and philosophy! After Robyn gives us a mind-blowing introduction to obscure British comedy albums, we dive into a discussion of the fact/value distinction. Is there a meaningful difference between “is” and “ought”? Do judgments of fact ever occur independent of moral connotations? Did Hobbes have gastrointestinal problems? We explore answers to these and other exciting questions.

This episode is recorded on location at Lonergan on the Edge Graduate Student Conference, an annual event featuring presentations drawing from, related to, or adjacent to Lonergan studies. Gathering around the coffee table in Robyn’s hotel suite, we are joined by our friend Chanelle, who presented this year’s M. Shawn Copeland Presentation in Contextual Theology. After Chanelle answers a number of our go-to Introductory Questions, she gives us a brief overview of her excellent presentation, “Embodiment, Bias, and Memory: The Theological Task of Remembering Indigenous Women in Canada and Unsettling the Virgin Mary.” Chanelle reflects on how Copeland’s methodology might provide the theological grammar necessary for discussing missing and murdered indigenous women (MMIW), and briefly explores how Bernard Lonergan’s understanding of bias might unmask the inaction and apathy of both the federal government and the Roman Catholic Church in Canada. Finally, through sustained reflection on the intersectional identity of the Virgin Mary, she proposes that Mary and her posture of memory might frame how the Roman Catholic Church responds to and supports communities impacted by MMIW. Brian shares his Treasures Old and New, and then we say goodbye.

In today’s episode, we begin by discussing our most memorable cooking failures, asking a proverbial chicken/egg question: “Does Robyn have no memories of her cooking failures because her culinary record is perfect, or is Robyn’s culinary record perfect because her memory has selectively deleted her cooking failures?” Regardless of where you stand on this issue, we doubt you’ll disagree that her area of research is fascinating. This research is focused on the theology of children, which is the topic of today’s main segment. Robyn walks us through contemporary debates about children’s humanity, dignity, agency, etc., pointing out how much work remains to be done within this burgeoning field. Robyn then gives us an introduction to her own work in developing a nuanced, holistic, and honest account of children and their decision-making, especially as this relates to theological anthropology and ethics. Jon shares his Treasures Old and New, and then we say goodbye.
