Theology on Air

Taylor Neill and the Faithiest Athiest (Richard Suttles) discuss human nature, morality, and a little bit of counterterrorism. 

Ted Wright joins us to take a second look at the Kings in the Bible. It turns out, there were a lot of them, too many good and important stories to cover in one episode. To learn more about Ted and his work at Epic Archaeology, go here. 

This live event was held Tuesday, August 10 at Saint Arnold's Brewery. We look at the question of why some are leaving the church. Taylor Neill and Colin Bagby begin with a look at the most common reasons people offer and then the panel weighs in with more thoughts. 

Has science made God obsolete?  Can you believe in creation while also believing the big bang theory, or that the universe is very old?  Where does scientific discovery stop and faith begin, or …are they mutually exclusive?  Have Christians just fallen prey to the “god of the gaps” fallacy?  And…What about aliens and deep space and UFO’s? 

Why do people walk away from faith and religion? What issues and ideas have so many reconsidering Christianity or at least an American Evangelical slice of Christianity? What are the reasons people are deconstructing, and what does it actually look like to be an Exvangelical?

ToA talks with "Redrawing the Bath" podcast host, Chris Harman.

With so much recent talk about prominent Evangelicals walking away from faith, terms like “deconstruction” and “Exvangelical” have become par for the Christian course. But, what does it mean to deconstruct, and is this something new, or has it been happening all along? Is it a good thing? What makes deconstruction different from doubt, and after taking apart the building blocks of your faith, how are you supposed to put back together your beliefs and worldview?

Part 1 of our series leading up to our "Exvangelical" live event, Grant Wacker talks to ToA about the history, culture, and distinctions of American Evangelicalism and why so many are walking away.

Two authors join Theology on Air to look at social justice and biblical justice. Where is there overlap? Where do they part company? Of course, much depends on what you mean by all of those words! Enjoy this timely and relevant conversation on today's Theology on Air. 

Ted Wright of Epic Archaeology joins us to look at kings in the Old Testament. We look at both foundational questions of why Israel wanted a king and some of the more notable stories in the books of 1 and 2 Samuel and 1 and 2 Kings.
