Two Blokes and Their Books

The blokes are going on a trip through Faerie! Join us as we learn about holiness and faith with the late-medieval poet Edmund Spencer in his moral epic, The Faerie Queene. There are bold knights, beautiful ladies, horrible monsters, cunning mages, and duplicitous witches! Can the Redcross knight and his fair Lady Una prevail as their faith is put to the test? Find out as we embark on a quest of chivalry!

The blokes sit down to talk about their top five favorite works of literature, with some honourable mentions besides.

Buckle up, listeners. The blokes are getting nerdy! This month we are talking about an episode from The Bible for Normal People, Episode 28: Thomas Jay Oord - The Problem of Evil (part 2); you can find it here if you’re interested

Scot and Dimitri spend some time discussing Process Philosophy, but our episode has little to do with The Bible for Normal People and Thomas Oord. Dimitri prefers to be a nerd about his own thoughts not a gatekeeper of other people’s thoughts. We discuss apophaticism in both theology and our experience of the world. We eventually circle back to Thomas Oord and his approach to evil.

The blokes discuss Don Quixote by Miguel Cervantes. We talk about the enchantment of the world, the importance of noble conviction and the danger of delusion, all in the context of the ingenious Don Quixote and his down-to-earth squire Sancho Panza.
