Analyzing Prayer draws together a range of theologians and philosophers to deal with different approaches to prayer as a Christian practice. The essays included deal with issues pertaining to petitionary prayer, prayer as reorientation of oneself in the presence of God, prayer by those who do not believe, liturgical prayer, mystical prayer, whether God prays, the interrelation between prayer and various forms of knowledge, theologizing as a form of prayer, lament and prayer, prayer and God's presence, and even prayer and the meaning of life.

There has recently been a wave of “ex-vangelicals” who are publicly “deconstructing” their former faith and coming to new understandings of things. They are learning in real time that firm conviction does not always signal a perception of the truth. But I think the notion of “deconstruction” and its relation to faith has been very badly misunderstood, and in many places the discussion is dissatisfying. In this video, I am going to discuss the relation between deconstruction and faith. The “ex-vangelicals” and those riding the wave of “faith-deconstruction” misunderstand things in at least two ways. On the one hand, the situation is actually far worse than they take it to be. Not only is their former faith deconstructible, but in principle everything they believe is, too. On the other hand, this fact is not incompatible with Christian faith. Christian faith can be understood as a way in which living beings such as ourselves assert themselves and mold the world to a certain shape.

Phenomenology is one of the most important and influential movements in contemporary philosophy, and yet it is also among the most difficult for the uninitiated to understand. My goal in this video is to introduce three basic principles of phenomenological philosophy of an ontological, epistemological, and methodological nature. The ontological principle asserts that consciousness is the arena of the self-disclosure of being. The epistemological principle asserts that knowledge is the achievement of judgment-evidence. The methodological principle holds that judgment-evidence can be achieved by means of the phenomenological reduction. By way of conclusion, I illustrate the phenomenological reduction and clarify the transcendental structure of world-experience.

Irenaeus is one very important figure from the early Church to which Roman Catholic theologians and apologists often appeal. They try to show that ideas such as apostolic succession, ecclesial infallibility, and even Roman primacy were known and wholeheartedly affirmed even as early as the second century after Christ. But does Irenaeus actually say the things that he is interpreted as saying? In this video, I provide a careful reading of Irenaeus's words in Against Heresies and put forth a Protestant response to the Roman Catholic theological and apologetic use of his ideas. I will try to show that, for Irenaeus, the true apostolic succession is doctrinal, there is no promise of infallible divine guidance applying to the teaching office of the Church, and the church of Rome has no special authority in theology simply as such. I will terminate with a consideration of the question: What would Irenaeus say about the Reformation? “Ad hanc enim ecclesiam propter potiorem principalitatem necesse est omnem convenire ecclesiam, hoc est, eos qui sunt undique fideles, in qua semper ab his, qui sunt undique, conservata est ea quae est ab apostolis traditio.” (AH 3.3.2) Dr. Steven Nemes received his PhD in Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary.

Which is greater: action or contemplation? Which is more excellent and therefore more central and determinative in human flourishing? A life of action—focused outward in service of humanity and exterior, public, practiced love? Or a life of contemplation—focused inward in reflection and meditation and communion with God, a private, interior castle of wisdom?You might be quick to point out that it's a false dilemma and of course we need both. But this is quite an old conundrum in both the history of philosophy and the history of Christianity and it continues to find expression in contemporary life as we struggle with the idea of personal morality and social justice.The world today is as broken a place as ever; individual people are as broken as ever—and what will heal us? Meditation and mindfulness and prayer? Or doing justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly?If the answer is in fact both, what unites the contemplative life with active life in your life?Today on the show, Sameer Yadav joins us for a conversation on mysticism, activism, and wonder. He explains the history of thinking about these jointly necessary elements of human flourishing, understanding the terms in relation to spirituality and contemporary activism, and drawing together two thinkers from different cultures and times: the Cappadocian Father Gregory of Nyssa and the spiritual father of the American Civil Rights movement, Howard Thurman. They share fascinating perspectives on what it means to be human, the need for cooperative caretaking as a reflection of God's relation to the world, and an attentiveness to wonder as a hinge between the contemplative and active life, with lasting implications for everything from interpersonal relationships, to democracy, to ecological care.About Sameer YadavSameer Yadav is Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Westmont College and specializes in systematic and philosophical theology, theology and race, and mysticism and religious experience.

His research focuses on metaphysics and philosophical theology. In metaphysics he works on truthmaker theory, modality, and free will. In philosophical theology, he has published on transubstantiation, Christology, and divine immutability. He has published two monographs in the Oxford Studies in Analytic Theology series, entitled In Defense of Conciliar Christology: A Philosophical Essay and In Defense of Extended Conciliar Christology: A Philosophical Essay. In those books he argues that the philosophical objections to the traditional Christian doctrine of the incarnation fail. His current research focuses on the intersection of moral philosophy, Christian virtue, and psychology. Christian thinkers from the desert fathers to the 16th century moralists and beyond have provided guidance for how to grow in virtues like temperance and fortitude. Is any of that advice supported (or falsified) by contemporary psychological findings? He’d like to know. He is the husband of another philosopher: her name is Faith Glavey Pawl. He is the proud father of one son and four daughters.

Thurman was the author of the influential book, Jesus & the Disinherited, which Martin Luther King, Jr. was known to carry around with him. LinksWho was Howard Thurman?About Jesus & the DisinheritedShow NotesBelonging and connectednessThe trauma of alienation in the Jim Crow segregationVitality of Christian faith and Black Christian resistance to slaveholder Christianity"The humanity we share with Jesus is one that cannot be reduced or dominated, but holds a value in union with God that goes beyond any attempt we can make to manipulate it for our own purposes."Thurman's ministry and theology represents the bringing together of these three themes: (1) divine common ground with all living things, (2) the devastating effects of social injustice on human personhood, and (3) sharing in the humanity of Jesus uniquely revealed in the history of Black suffering and the resilience of Black joy.Christian mystical traditionInfluenced by Ghandi's approach to non-violence (soul force)Jesus and the Disinherited—finding the inward strength to stand up to oppressionMysticism and activism belong in vital connection with each otherThurman's impact on Martin Luther King, Jr. at Boston UniversityMLK was known to carry a copy of Jesus & the Disinherited with him wherever we went.From Preface of Luminous Darkness (1960): "The fact that 25 years of my life were spent in Florida and in Georgia has left deep scars in my spirit and has rendered me terribly sensitive to the churning abyss separating white from black. Living outside of the region, I am aware of the national span of racial prejudice and the virus of segregation that undermines the vitality of American life. Nevertheless, a strange necessity has been laid upon me to devote my life to the central concern that transcends the walls that divide and would achieve in literal fact what is experienced as literal truth: Human life is one and all humans are members of one another. And this insight is spiritual and it its the hard core of religious experience. My roots are deep in the throbbing reality of Negro idiom and from it I draw a full measure of inspiration and vitality. The slaves made a worthless life—the life of chattel property, a mere thing, a body—worth living. They yielded with abiding enthusiasm to a view of life which included all the events of their experience without exhausting themselves in those experiences. To them this quality of life was insistent fact because of that which deeply was within them. They discovered God, who was not or could not be exhausted by any single experience or series of experiences. To know God was to live a life worthy of the loftiest meaning of life. People of all ages and times, slave or free, trained or untutored, who have sensed the same values, are their fellow pilgrims, who journey together with them in increasing self-realization, in quest for the city that has foundations whose builder and maker is God.” About Sameer YadavSameer Yadav (Th.D. Duke Divinity School) is Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, CA. His research areas are in the philosophy and theology of religious experience, race and religion, and the theological interpretation of Scripture. He is the author of The Problem of Perception and the Experience of God: Toward a Theological Empiricism (Fortress Press, 2015), a number of articles published in various journals such as The Journal of Analytic Theology, Faith and Philosophy, and The Journal of Religion among others, as well as a number of chapters in edited volumes.

Oliver Crisp is back on the podcast and bringing more of his Analytic Reformed excitement to you. I know some of you dear listeners love Calvin and analytic theology, so while I may be less interested in general with those theological trajectories I always enjoy getting to talk with Oliver. That is why, after some serious prayer and reflection, I have decided to institute a new HBC rule. IF you are gonna go Calvinist, #KeepItCrispy. That is about as robust an affirmation I can give to Oliver. We recorded this conversation while we were in SoCal at the TheoPsych seminar put on by my friends in the STAR office at Fuller Seminary. (STAR=Science, Theology and Religion). Over the course of the week we had a bunch of conversations in which we got to know each other more, share stories about our life, faith, family, moving to Scotland and such. I may not have decided to embrace my Calvinist past, but I definitely decided having a friend like Oliver is a treat. Since his return to Scotland you can find him at the University of St. Andrews where he is the Professor of Analytic Theology. Check out his previous visit to the podcast where we discuss his Christology. In this conversation we begin looking at the role of science in constructive anthropology and then discuss his newest book Analyzing Doctrine: Toward a Systematic Theology.

In this interview, we focus on questions of the Atonement including: 1:43 – What is Analytic Theology? 4:04 – How might someone even begin thinking systematically about the Atonement? 6:44 – What is the role of human psychology and moral psychology in dealing with the Atonement? 11:12 – Is there a role for the Holy Spirit in a theory of Atonement? 14:54 – What does it mean to say that Atonement aims at ‘metaphysically greater union’? 17:41 – Can you clarify the scope of the Atonement? Should we restrict ‘atonement as referring only to the death and crucifixion? Or should we expand it to include, for instance, the life of Christ as well? 19:59 – An Anselmian Model of Atonement 21:12 – An Aquinas Model of Atonement
