Tillich Today

We all know what debt is. And that's probably because most of us are either currently indebted or have been in the past. But why is debt such a big deal in the modern world and how to we fix it?

In this episode, Dr. Kevin Carnahan joins the pod beyond pod to discuss his new book The Disappearance of Eve and the Gender of Christ: Why Traditional Soteriology Requires a Trans* Savior. We talk about gender and sexuality in the ancient world, the possibility of a gender-bending Jesus, and how to address queerphobia in contemporary conservative Christianity. If you are a Christian who believes being a member of the LGBTQ community is antithetical to be a follower of Jesus, I highly recommend listening to this episode. It may just change your mind.

This week, we are joined by Rabbi Geoff Mitelman, founding director of Sinai and Synapses, a non profit that aims to create a vision of religion that embraces critical thinking and scientific inquiry through classes, lectures, seminars, and fellowship opportunities.

In The Myth of Sisyphus, Albert Camus wrote that "there is only one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide." In this week's philosophical news recap, Nathan and Taylor discuss death, dying, and the rise of identity based persecution in the context of existential philosophy.

Trigger warning that this episode covers issues related to genocide, suicide, and sexual abuse.

If you'd like more information about Camus and/or existential philosophy, see my YouTube channel, BYTE-GEIST, where I have a variety of introductory videos on the topic. Or, check out my interviews with expert existentialist Dr. James McLachlan.
