Tom' Podcast #20: A Modern Version of the Apocalypse


Listen Later

Apocalypses were many, starting in the 5th century BCE and terminating in the late Roman era.  A literary form with a social purpose, it originally served to provide those suffering under the yoke of tyranny with a way out.  Today's podcast borrows from the genre by proposing to replace the New Testament version of four horsemen with a Neo-apocalyptic five horsemen.  Today's podcast assumes that God is more along the Divine Watchmaker model, or non-existent.  It does not assume  the nosy Father-God of Evangelical Christianity.  I explore five different existential crises that humanity faces, using Apocalyptic thinking as a metaphor.   Instead of learned helplessness, perhaps we can get off our collective behind and face the music.  Cheers!
